Honda XR-250

Closeup of the RAM GPSV mount using a "grab9" on the left forward handlebar clamp bolt. Note that screen angle adjust is achieved without the center clamp arm touching the ball post (for best vibration protection). This is an important feature for dirtbike use.

This is currently the best general RAM setup for using the GPSIII and GPSV on dirtbikes because it allows for best screen angle adjustment (sitting and standing).

Two ways to get this kit: Kit GR3H comes with GRAD, GR3CR, GRANA and GRAH. Add additional parts GRAB9 and GC45MB from the parts page. You will end up with an extra GRAH which can be used on other motorcycles. If you have a recessed handlebar clamp bolt you may need item GCMXB instead of GC45MB.

Or buy GR3S + GRAB9 + GC45MB then you will have a suctioncup for the truck window. Or go to the parts page and buy the parts separate.

Attachment to the dirtbike is behind the crossbar - bolted to the forward-left handlebar clamp bolt. A longer bolt is required, see GC45MB for exposed bolt heads, or GCMXB (with spacer) for bolts in wells.

Honda XR400

The GPSmap176 on a Honda XR400. Will work same with 276C, 376C.

The big-screen 176 barely fits between the bars & numberplate on this small dirtbike.

Photo 2 is aCloseup of the 176 using a GRAB bolted to the backside of the original 176 cradle (included with package from Garmin). GRANA normal arm connects to the right-angle ball "grab11" bolted to the lower side of the top clamp.

A= "grab11" attached to underside of top clamp with 35mm bolt and 16mm spacer from below.

B= 6mm threaded hole on top clamp (from HONDA speedometer mount)

C= GPSmap176

Honda CRF-250X

The color screen GPS60 on a LOCKING touratech mount (065-0077). This mount bolts directly to the 1/2 inch crossbar.

Photo2 is the 065-0077 with no GPS. Note: this mount holds the powercable in place, when you put the GPS into the mount, it is powered up.

Photo3 is the Closeup photo. This feature of the 065-0077 works ONLY with GARMIN brand powercables (G10082, G10085, and GC12V)

Honda XR-250

The "gr3h" RAM GPS V mount on the handlebar.

Universal fit with the U-bolt attachment covers many many applications!

Photo2 is a closeup of the "gr3h" on an XR250. In this photo, it appears the tightening knob is touching the crossbar. Actually it's not. But the reason we mention it is that you have to be careful to allow the GPS to be suspended on the two rubber balls, to protect the electronics for vibration. No part of the mount (past the first ball) should be adjusted such that it's touching the motorcycle.

KTM200EXC

Joe Dowd's KTM 200 EXC, with RAM part supporting a TOURATECH MvG mount (065-0035) holding a GPSV. With the MvG mount, the GPSV has no shutdown problems running on batteries (taped with dielectric grease on ends) on this rough (little) two-stroke.

Photo2 is a closeup of the RAM ball showing "grab9" with bolt kit "gcmxb". Photos taken at Spodefest in Idaho.

To get 15vDC out from a dirtbike with generator but no battery, use "030-0021". To power eTrex or eMap (3V GPS) use "gce3Vc"

Honda XR400

Here's an old eMap on a RAM mount clamped outboard of the crossbar on a Honda XR400, next to the front brake master cylinder.

Notice that the GPS mount easily pushes out of the way (adjusted for friction) to open the BarPack map holder.

If I need to see the GPS in front of the map I just push it back over the map. This method works especially well with the new graphic GPSs where you look at the little map on the screen then instantly locate the same area on your big map (we don't need no stinking numbers....).

We ride hard with the mount set for friction (a little loose) and at this setting it never slips while riding. Of course you can crank it tighter, if you want (unnecessary).

We do this all day long (twice per map opening) and the friction never changes even after many days. So far there's no visible wear showing on the hard rubber ball (or the aluminum clamp).

In addition, the plastic cradle which is tightly fitted to each specific GPS is extremely tough, virtually unbreakable. Also notice there is an extra set of mounting holes to provide other mounting options. The other parts (clamps etc) are cast aluminum. We've found the RAM system to be as close to bulletproof as you can get.

also......ahem....nice place for a photo, huh?

Touratech F650RR (F650GS)

The "065-0035" GPSV mount on the

fairing brace of a Desert bike.

Adapted with a homemade sheet of aluminum on this F650RR european style desert racer. This hoss carries 13.5 gallons of gas!

Photo 2 shows a side view of the 065-0035" at the top of the information display on an F650RR (Touratech-modified BMW F650GS). Below the GPS is an IMO100R50 Rallye computer (011-0401) and motorized roadbook chartholder (020-0010).

The Enduro Engineering adapter makes it simple to attach Touratech mounts to bikes fitted with Pro-taper or Magura bars. This sturdy, adjustable adapter also leaves room for steering dampers.
