I need to add a GPS. What are the best options for ball mounts. I ordered a set from MCL over a year ago but they are obviously OOB. Thinking clutch / brake mount may be next best option.
I understand the concern on strain to the two screws and fluid leakage. But I've seen a lot of bike with this mount ('Wings mostly and also some Brand X bikes) and none of them have shown nor has the owner mentioned any damage or leakage.MajorTom said:I've ridden thousands of miles since then with the cradle mounted, mostly including GPS, and there's no issue with clutch fluid leaking.
If you look at the following link, you'll see a similar mount I use which employs 2 balls.That said I forgot about the RAM mount that that NashCat posted (replaces half of the reservoir mount itself). This would be much better suited to heavier gear as well such as your Black Magic or Red production camera.
You got a lotta balls!If you look at the following link, you'll see a similar mount I use which employs 2 balls.
Eh ... my bark's worse than my bite.You got a lotta balls!
That's an aftermarket Gold Wing switch bank ... yet another reason I don't use a reservoir ball mount ... and the 3 switches turn on/off low-beams, fog lights & driving lights. The switches do wear out over time and I've replaced a couple over the years, but I rarely use them since switching all the lights to LED.And I see the 3 switche bank on the front brake reservoir. How's that holding up?
