It's worth it. I think I paid $100 for mine (I use it for my radar). I just put some electrical tape around the fairing stay (like 1 inch or thereabouts) and attach the Saeng mount on top of it (wouldn't want to scratch the stay

).

Sounds good to me..... how low does it sit from the fairing mount?

I attach mine to the left side of the stay so mine sits high enough where I can see the V1 from the riding position. It definitely keeps Chain and his buddies off my ass

When I go home I will uncover the bike and mess around with where I want it to sit

The more look at that mount the more I think that it will be my best option. Where did you find it for less then on their site?

Good luck, I ordered mine from them.

I think the 12mm one with the short arm and the plate for the GPS is something like $145

Ahhh we will see in a few weeks. For now it will be in the car anyway.

You can get a RAM mount setup for about 1/4th of that.

So how about sharing part #s from your 1KRR setup

and what did you attach it to?

I have been looking at the RAMS just dont know which one will work for my setup. I was looking at one of the HB2 setup that replaces part of the clutch support but I cant see how its gonna fit right. Like I said its a tight space to start then you add in the fairing stay and its smaller.

Won't interfere with a steering damper?

ConqSoft · 01-05-2005, 4:15 PM

On the 929RR, XX, 1000RR, and the VFR, I used the same mounting location.

I use the RAM-11M base, and attach it to one of the clip-on pinch bolts.

You can see it here in the lower part of this picture on the VFR:
http://www.conqsoft.com/myimages/VFR...rlet%20004.jpg

On the XX, I had to use two of the RAM Short Arms, and a Double-Ball adapter to wind it up and around to clear everything. On all the other bikes, I just needed 1 RAM Short Arm to get it into position. Your needs will vary depending on the bike.

With the Bagster in place, here's the view while riding on the VFR:

On the XX:

Couldn't find a pic of it on the 1000RR, but you can see the RAM Base on the left clip-on here:

Old GPS, but same RAM Base on the 929RR:

Hard to say on the RC51... It didn't on my 929 with the Scotts or the Ohlins dampers I had, or with the factory damper on the 1000RR. You'd just have to find the right combination of RAM parts to get it to work on the RC51.

The owners of Cyclegadgets are great people, you could call them and see if any of their customers have put one on an RC51 with a damper...

Thanks

I think I might just do that. I have been messing with ideas but its really a crap shoot.

Yeah they would know. TGZ, PM me and I can give a reference that should get you a discount with them. He is a good friend and sells product to them.

TGZ13 · 01-05-2005, 9:02 PM

Would it be a bad idea to use the pinch bolt for the tripple with the 11m type base that you used conq?

Left Clipon
With
One of these

and a standard arm since I think the cradle for the V sits on the right side of the unit

deez · 01-05-2005, 9:19 PM

I can't use that because of my Brembo Master cylinders, the resevoirs are attached to the pinch bolts. The Saeng is pricy, but it just screws off, takes about 5 seconds to pull it off and store in the tail.

It is a nice unit but its also more then double the cost

I think with the Ram-11, Compact Base / Cradle Ball Adapter, GPSV Cradle and a Standard 3" Arm its $52 to my door, $77 with the hard wire kit

Do you know what size the pinch bolt is on the satos? I cant remember off the top of my head

cbr99xx · 01-05-2005, 9:39 PM

These things are great... (GPS)... but I remember when getting lost on a bike is what it was all about.

Does anyone remember the Kawi commercial? Damn I'm old...

Nothing wrong with getting lost its finding a gas station when you are low on gas that sucks.

We head out alot of weekends with the purpose of just finding new roads. Probleem is we forget where they were. Both problems will now be solved

Ohhh... but that's what makes it fun. If you've never hit reserve (yeah, I know, we can't do that anymore) and walked up to a farmer's house to ask which way is the nearest gas station, then, you have no Lewis & Clark in you at all.
