Radar/GPS mount - on tank or a stem mount?

[rapid van cleef]

ok, anyone mounted a gps or radar on their tank or on the stem or both? im about to make a decision as to which mounting option to purchase. has anyone got any gems of info woirth considering?

i thought that maybe the stem mount would be handy as it is further forward and away from the body when leaning forwards. i aint got much space for handlebar mounts, in fact none. so tank mount is my only other option. seems too close to the upper body to me.

your thoughts oh wise ones?

Ram makes some nice mounts for variety of bikes (they have those balls for 360 degree adjustment), also i bought mount made for TPX detector specificaly designed for my CBR (mounts to top of HESD) but iam using it for RX65 detector....

thats esentialy what the tpx mount is but it is fitted bit more forward and has adjustments...but way more pricey, at $40 usd including shipping you cant realy go wrong...

Try this trademe seller yeaka. He was good to deal with.
Tell him in one of his adds what you want and he will get it for you on his next order.

He buys direct off RAM so can sell to you for a bit less than your landed cost if you buy direct. (At least I assume this is still the case he seems to have scaled back leading in to winter.)

well dont jam it into them at speed and your have nothing to worry about no realy i think you will fly well over the handle bars in case of nose to tail ....also you will have other problems at that point!

Assuming he mounts it the right way round...
The platform goes toward the front, but I have seen them facing the other way with riders contorting themselves to ride around them... no sense and no imagination.

I think this mount is pretty safe, if as you say mounted correctly...but if in doubt get handle bar mount, (also will look more tidy and probably work better for signals coming from behind you)

man how hard would that be to make?
looks like not more them 1/2 hrs work

With the TPX, I prefer stem mount because it's easier to see the LCD screen, being more forward an' all. Depends a little on the bike though - the gixxer needs the unit mounted a little more back than the SV did so as not to cover the instrument panel...

Go with the stem or bar mount... then you can still use a tank bag if needed

This is my set-up made from a folded bit of stainless sheet. Tidy, compact and attention getting LEDs screen mounted

FWIW I have one of these mounts for sale. http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...SS%3AUS%3A1123
