I Got it and it works. I recommend getting a 1 in. arm. The 3 inch is a bit much in my opinion.Anyone try this on 2014 N1K? I took out the plug on the bike and it has a hexed opening versus a smooth round bore. Do you think this would still work? I just want to mount my iPhone there for GPS and to see who is calling.
RAM Motorcycle Fork Stem Base with 1" Ball
There are no easy places to mount a phone on our bikes is there?
Here is the instruction video I found on Youtube.

Awesome! Stays nice and tight? I will be using an iPhone 5 on it with a small bracket that holds the phone. So mass is minimal.I Got it and it works. I recommend getting a 1 in. arm. The 3 inch is a bit much in my opinion.![]()
Yeah, this is what I want. Something that screws in with a 26mm socket.
Ordered mine last night. Thanks for the link...and making me a little poorer.
Can you give any tips on how you made it fit?I Got it and it works. I recommend getting a 1 in. arm. The 3 inch is a bit much in my opinion.![]()

I destroyed one of these yesterday trying to get it tight enough not to flop around.. the way the hex hole is I wasn't able to get it all the way into the hole.. do you have it fitting flush with the forkstem or did you use a larger washer and keep it above the nut?
That's a great option.My bro and I bought the ball with the 8mm screws (like this one: Amazon.com: Ram Mount Motorcycle Handln'tebar Clamp Base with M8 Screws: Automotive). You just replace one of the handlebar clamp screws with a longer bolt that holds the RAM mount ball. It works great. I have to lean forward a little to see my left turn signal indicator but otherwise, no obstructions to the view...
Your phone will overheat and give you the yellow triangle of death (iphone) if you try this. You need airflow over the device to keep up with the heat generated by all the electronics, especially if you keep the screen on.On most tank bags there is a clear pocket for a phone and maybe a larger clear pocket for an old school map. Now if you had your phone connected to a usb/micro usb cable you could tuck it into the larger pocket for a lazy makeshift gps setup.
I think that scenario would work on my rapid transit recon 19. The viewing angle would be rough at best.
I know a ram mount is best but this would do in a pinch.
No. I had this on my previous Concours and it will not work on the N1K.Is this option possible on our bike? I don't see where we have that choice.
