BMW R1100RT

Tom Houston used doublestick adhesive instead of screws to hold the GRAD onto the "RCU shelf". The "RCU shelf" comes from BMW of Salt Lake City. Note that this mounting requires two of the RAM part GRAD. One attaches to the eMap GPS cradle and the other is attached to the RCU shelf.

Garmin StreetPilot on a RAM mount, attached to our "grab11" and "gcR11b" on Scott Charney's BMW R1100RT. This mount can be used in any of the eight holes and can be rotated to many positions.

BMW K1100LT

Garmin III+ on a RAM mount, attached to the "grab11" on a BMW K1100LT.

The "GRAB11" is attached using a hole on the BMW controls (the hole is intended for a mirror).

The "grab11" mount is designed to fit under the locknut of a 10mm mirror stem but it fits many other locations too, wherever there's a bolt with enough threads. Or you can get a longer bolt. Works great on 8mm bolts. Here it is with a 1/4" bolt (this customer should to add a washer when he gets home).

On BMW controls (as in the photo) this mount fits very well, even better if you round the lower corner with a file. We can do this if you sweet-talk us.

BMW K1200LT

StreetPilot III on a TOURATECH mount "065-0039", attached to the adapter "040-0652" on a BMW K1200LT. All of the Touratech mounts will fit this adapter.

Below is a photo of the adapter (040-0652) alone.

GPS176 on a RAM mount "GRSP3H", "cut-in" to the handlebar covering of a K1200LT

.

This customer is not afraid to cut into plastic, and he is also capable of doing a nice job!. (The plastic can be replaced if necessary.) Under the plastic there is a tubular steel handlebar that the "GRAH" (a part of GRSP3H) attaches to.

BMW K1200RS

Tom Nault used the "grah" with a larger U-bolt around the left handlebar. He's using black tape to protect the finish.

BMW K1200GT

To mount a StreetPilot III, Joe used the "grsp3s" and put the suctioncup in his truck. Then for a base he used the "GRAB9" and a special bolt GCR11B, with just the spacer from "GCMXB".

Using special parts: "GRAB9" and "GCR11B" plus only the 10mm spacer from "GCMXB".

BMW R1150GS

Mr. Sampson used a RAM 'grsp3h' to adapt his GPS176 to his R1150GS.

For the GPS176 you can use either the 'grsp3h' or the 'gr176h'. We prefer to use the GRSP3H with the Garmin gradle, because the Garmin cradle has a locking feature.

The "Garmin" mount is included in the 176 package. Note the circular swivel joint just below the GPS. To minimize the mount, this 'angle adjust' and swivel part of the Garmin mount can be removed, if desired and then the RAM grsp3h will attach directly to the Garmin's GPS cradle.

BMW R1100GS

The Touratech GPSV mount is designed to be used on the 1/2" crossbar as on the R1100GS.

Jos Timmermans removed the base plate and created a new custom plate to move his Touratech GPSIII mount forward of the handlebar.

Here is what it looks like from below.

BMW F650GS

The Touratech GPS176 mount 065-0041 installed on F650GS. Scott Baker has installed Magura X-line handlebars and TOURATECH 040-0601 crossbar (320mm) on his F650GS.

The RAM GPSV mount (gr3h) with a "grab11" and a longer bolt + spacer.

Shown at full left turn, the bolt and ball are fairly close to the tank, but not touching.

BMW R1150RT

The 040-0650 adapts several of the TOURATECH mounts to the R1150RT.

040-0650 adaqpter shown installed on R1150RT.

Accepts 065-0022, 065-0035, 065-0032, 065-0039, 065-0056, 065-0065. 065-0066. It is more suited for the sideways-screen Garmins such as GPS III/V and StreetPilot series and 2610. Because of the low profile, angle adjust is not very good with vertical-configuration GPSs such as GPS76. Pleaase note that 065-0067 and 065-0068 do not fit well with this mount.

BMW K1100RS

The RAM eMap mount (gremh) on a K1100RS. Note: This K-bike has a taller handlebar installed (C-bars?).

In photo 2, "Grab11" ball mount is shown on a top-clamp pinchbolt.

BMW R1150GS

For testing purposes, a customer came by our shop and mounted the Touratech GPS176 mount (065-0041) in two different configurations. At left it is attached to a RAM (grbh) system to be visible above a tankbag. At right the (old style) 065-0041 is attached directly to the 12mm crossbar.

Closeup of attachment method.

"GRAH" ball mount (included with "grbh" and most other RAM handlebar mounts) comes with a U-bolt to go around any bar. But this customer doubled it ontop of the handlebar clamp. It works in this case because the GS handlebar is swept back on this large motorcycle. This method won't work on dirt-bikes where the crossbar is directly above the center.

The bolts and spacers necessary are qty2 of item "GCMXB" ($10/ea). The cast holes in GRAH must be enlarged slightly with a file.

"Grab9" ball mount is the best for angled-face GPSs such as GPSV.

Special features of this more expensive mount are:

key-lock, support to prevent damage to the delicate powercord, super-compliant MvG vibration damping.

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).

BMW K1200LT

Customer used RAM parts to mount fog lights to the fairing. Mounts are tightened just enough to allow adjustment while riding. Customer removed adjustment knobs and replaced with security screw GCSEC.

BMW K1200RS

Customer used RAM parts to mount a video camera. Needed 2X GCMXB to get 2x 10mm spacers.

BMW K1100LT

Fast Eddie used washers and a longer bolt to place a GRAB9 on his LT. Possible that GCR11B would work here similarly.
