Mounting a satnav to a zxr400?

Post by saka_ZXR »

I bought a garmin quest satnav a while back as it is small and compact its mounted onto my KLR bars fine but looking today and i can't find anywhere to mount one on my zxr.

Anyone had any luck mounting a satnav to a zxr and if so where did u mount it?
If it's broke spray it with WD40, if it's still broke spray it again and leave it over night, if it's still broke, bin it.

I have seen people taking the ball part off the ram mount and bolting it through the top yolk nut.
Apparentely you take off the top nut, stick the ball part through the top of the nut and put a nut on the end to hold it in place.
Then refit the top yolk nut. All you have left on the bike is the ball part sticking through the top yolk nut.

If that makes any sense.

I cant get my head round the idea of that, I think I'd need to see some pics.

You also need a yoke nut with a hole in it to do that....
