The allen head at the end of the bar holds the bar weight on.

You can get steering head stem mounts from the same place above if you want something more central.

What size is the steering stem mount on our bikes?

[alibx11]

I couldn't tell you mate as I didn't get a stem mount, but sure somebody on here will know....

Kev,

The helpful bit is, i have these fitted to the inside of my bars, they allow you to fit items designed to go on standard handlebars, the bracket on the right hand on is for a Givi Iphone holder which is very good, and very secure. it also puts stuff up a bit higher in the eyeline.

The unhelpful bit is that they were fitted to the bars when i bought the bike(or my lovely wife bought it for me...) Posted the picture in the hope that someone on here can ID them, as they are an excellent bit of kit.

Silverback, I suspect that those extenders may well have been machined to fit as I can't say that I've seen them offered as an accessory....good idea mind you 

[Silverback]

OC,

I wondered about that, mind you, seems like there are a few on this site who will get a couple of empty beans cans and some chewing gum, then disappear into their A Team sheds and hey presto...

Mr Wolf ... it did make me chuckle at first then I became very queasy and soon after I was admitted to A+E with severe vomiting ..... anyone who can dissect a Gtr like that needs help !
(Kev .... this is between Mr Wolf and myself, .. good luck with whatever you are doing to your new bike) 

[KeVstrom]

No worries Rusty, youd be glad to know its back in one piece but might not be for long!

Going back to the subject of ram mounts, i have a left over stem mount from the DL. I reckon with a new bolt i could stick that on the end of the bar mount bolt. Ive ordered an extension arm from ram which will bring my phone case towards the middle and hopefully a more central view.

Good spot Pistole, I didn't think to look on ProjectD, which is stoopid of me really as I've used them for accessories in the past, and very good they are too

[KeVstrom]

Got my RAM mount sorted finally. I order a waterproof case for my Galaxy Note and extension arm.
I had this stem mount left over from my old DL, problem was, it was too big to fit into the hex hole on the GTR.



After a bit of experimenting, i managed to use a combination of a nut and rubber sleeve to secure it in place.



This is the 3" extension arm i bought, its attached to the rear of the case.



Heres all the bit fitted together. Theres plenty of adjustment and i can have the phone either portrate or landscape.

Are you planning to use your mobile phone as a Sat Nav Kev ?

Sorry I don't do apps and stuff so don't know how all that works 

[KeVstrom]

Yes mate. Use it for music and navigation

[KeVstrom]

Picked up my carrier plate from the powder coaters this morning. Cost me all of a tenner! The blemish is off aluminium corrosion but its covered by a rubber mat anyhow so it aint gonna be seen. Hopefully get it fitted this afternoon.

Looks like a Renault Megane seat????
