Hey, thanks for getting back to me Yeah I was turning it for some time(!) and nothing seemed to be happening, was that all you did? Insert it into the bar and and tighten?
The two halves need to slide up against each other. Tighten things up slightly before inserting in the bar end
If anyone's still after a decent mount, I've got this on my 848 for my Garmin 350: It replaces the thingie in the yoke. Onto this you mount the specific holder for your sat nav. Looks like this without sat nav: Small but usefull upgrades by Erik Hendrikx, on Flickr With sat nav: Small but usefull upgrades by Erik Hendrikx, on Flickr Made by BikePenR in Holland.
Any other suggestions for a phone mount on an 1198? I prefer my phone in portrait; Duc Daz does your's give enough clearance to the tank if the phone is in portrait?
