899 Ram Stem Mount

If the end of the clip on is hollow (once cap removed) then this is a possible solution. This is what I use on my 1198.

I spoke to RAM at a trade show and the answer was a special mod done by an engineer known to them. Essentially, it is a stubby mount with a hex-bolt down the middle that tightens up a nut on a washer with a squashy rubber grommet. the nut/washer/grommet combo pokes through the hole in the head-stock and once tightened up is held in place by the deformation of the rubber grommet ! Simples ! I will be doing something along those lines to my own bike soon, as my current set-up is a bit ugly and crap.

 

Ive never seen this fitted, but have fancied it for myself, and its not exactly expensive to experiment. Desmoworld Navi / Cam Mounting Hub - SCHRAUBEN - SCHRAUBEN - 848 - 1098 - 1198 - SUPERBIKE

There are basically 2 styles, one for the panigale stem nut, and one for the older style 1098 etc (this is the one it shows putting a 2 euro coin in the gap).

Worth a shot methinks.

 

Hi Dartanion,

What you need is a Telefrizer ram mount, I sold one on here a while ago :-

For Sale - Panigale Telferizer Ram Mount | Ducati Forum

Buy them from here, a Guy called Bob Telefer runs this outfit, he does security bolts and small waterproof connectors as well.

Ram arms and other stuff, these people are good and have a wide selection.

Just a warning about this mount, the "black ball" on the end is not rubber like a Ram mount, its made from injection moulded nylon and as such its as slippy as fcuk! my ram arm would not hold it without slipping, I ended up buying a Ram ball to go on the end of it to replace the nylon part, so this one fitting ended up costing me about 50 quid !!.........you have been warned!

By using a combination of bits and pieces and spacers, I have a nice quick release system that only leaves one Ram ball on the end of the lhs clip on when I remove the mount, I can remove the mount in about 5 mins, looks loads nicer!







Hope this helps,

Poucher

 

Poucher makes a good point about the Buy Bits mount. It's easily modded with some self-amalgamating tape. This rubberises the ball and stops slipping. Works great with my TT Rider 5.

 

I sorted a Ram mount down the yoke.
Nice clean place to have it but Pouchers pics look like a good set up too.

I was told it couldn't be done and wouldn't work.
The Telferizer mount proves that statement wrong.

The trick I found was to put a securing nut up from underneath and use a big washer with big rubber washers sandwiched in.
Works fine as do various other solutions on here.

The real trick was to use several short extensions from several socket sets and shove them up the steering head from underneath with the captive nut in the socket. You can't get a big one in without major disassembly. A suitable length screw through the middle of the ram mount and some 'Sugru' to cover it over once it's secure and it's job done.

Hope you succeed one way or the other.

 

Hi - Which yoke mount did you get the Ram Mount RAM Mount UK
or the The Telferizer Custom Motorcycle RAM mounts for GPS Systems

I'm thinking of the Ram mount kit for £42 which includes the Yoke stem, Ball arm and diamond base.

 

It was a Ram mount. It looks almost like the Desmo mount in the link posted by 990glen. I'll see if I have any details about which kit it came from n let you know

 

Thanks Sam
Is it this one

 

No. It's neater than that. I'll Try and find a picture. I'm not with the bike right now so can't take a photo

 

Why don't you just use the Telferizer mount??? its by far the neatest one to fit the top yoke??

 

Which case would you use to mount the phone in that connects to the ram mount?
My phone is an iPhone 6.

 

Yep I probably will
Out of interest why did you sell the Telferizer mount you had and change to the clip on mount. I'd have thought mounting on the steering head would be better than the clip on, fixed position and no risk of hitting the fairing

 

Here's what I'm thinking of going for as a set up. I want to use my 5" car TOM TOM XL so it's
Telferizer yoke mount RAM
Ram mounts double socket arm and diamond base
Part no. RAM-B-103-A-238KT
Sat Nav pouch off ebay
Cigar lighter socket to plug into optimate lead

I'm thinking if the Ram ball on the Sat Nav pouch won't fit into the double socket arm then I'll screw the diamond base onto the plastic backing plate in the pouch.

Anyone done this or got any thoughts ?

 

Hi Nev,

I just found that the Telferizer plus ram arm and sat nav bracket lifted the screen up too close to my face and seeing as I'm getting a bit short of "lamp oil",:Watching::Watching: ...need longer arms etc, I couldn't see it too well in this position, hence I've moved it further away so I can see it better.

It does not foul the fairing at all, just sits nicely between the clutch and brake reservoirs, plus I use the ram ball for mounting the Go Pro on as well.

 

I used the short Ram ball connector, I figured it would vibrate less than the long one and you don't need to bring it up higher, it'll get too close to you. I'll post pictures of mine later this morning.

 

Triari, I used a Tigra mount for my iPhone 5. I believe they do them for the 6 as well. Waterproof and works well. eBay or even Evans cycles. Comes with a perfectly good handlebar mount for those that have a handlebar...which I don't.

Or Buybits in Aylesbury do a very similar one. They have a big stock of cases and mounts. At the time their opinion was that you couldn't put a Ram mount down the stem of a Pani but you can. See above.

 

Ram mount, screw through the top, retaining rubber washer, penny washer and nut secured from underneath. Shove 3 or 4 short socket extenders up the steering head with the retaining nut in a socket. Long extension bar won't go in. Or buy the Telferizer.
