Hiya Paul, been in touch with "Bob" ref the bolts, he's sending me 2 as there's 2 twat navs to secure, postage has gone up a bit "surprise surprise," but I must say the service seems very good, sent an attachment to ensure we were both aware of what I wanted, and they should be with me within the week, thanks for the heads up.@tu*

Yesterday I updated my sat nav, put it into it's waterproof holder and still got lost :-0)

When I was dispatching that is pretty much all that we used Noobie.. It was way before gps things were available..

I was in Milton Keynes picking up a new toy. In Milton Keynes I needed all the help I could get to leave the bloody place, even the cows don't talk to you.

 

[ScottyUK]

All you had to do was use a proper satnav and put Baldock in and you'd have had way more fun. ;-0))

I was enjoying the new toy so much a 1.15 ride became 2 hours, although I'm sure an hour was getting out of Milton Keynes.

Sat navs is for the directlionally challenged :-0)

I use mine on the commute every day and I know where I'm going (honest!).

It updates with the traffic etc, has my music, phone etc. Works for me but fully appreciate we all have different requirements @tu*

Use google maps. What else could you need?
I tried Nokia's "Here" on holiday and quite often the maps were out of date.

Why do you need to remove it?

 

[BrynS]

Why do you need to remove it?

I'm thinking of mounting a threaded RAM ball to it.....just exploring the best way to go about it. On my GTR1400 I used liquid metal to fix a nut on the underside of the nut, then screwed the ram ball thread down onto it....

Just at the 'head scratching' stage of planning at the mo@tu*

That bit I could work out 8rfl@

The ram mount for it uses a sort of rubber expanding bolt thing so no need to remove the top nut..
And if you remove the top nut and put a bolt through the hole you will not be able to retighten the top nut up cos it will be full of bolt !
Those of us who are not dripping dosh for a pucka ram mount have used a long bit of threaded rod all the way through the top nut, right through the yoke stem, and out the bottom with a nut and penny washer underneath @tu*

Thanks John, I did read you'd done this with a ball from a chandlers....may be the way forward .....what did you ask for? Obviously there has to be a hole in the ball to screw the rod in ? I'm thinking sizes etc @tu*
