RAM Motorbike Reservoir Cover (RAM-B-346U)

With the Burgman 650 handle bars shielded by plastic covers this has proved to be the ideal and safe way to mount my TomTom rider 400. It puts the device clear of the instrument cluster but easily and safely visible by the rider. I also added the Anti Theft Solution and know that it's secure while I'm having a coffee break and will still be there when I return.

This RAM mount arrived promptly, to be located on top of the front brake master cylinder on my 2000 model R1100RT BMW. It was supposed to be suitable, and the six slotted mounting holes were correct. But the selection of screws supplied were 4mm diameter, and the bike has four 5mm screws in the hydraulic master cylinder cap. I acquired four replacement screws, but the slots in the mounting then had to be enlarged to fit the new screws. Unfortunately, after trying to mount the RAM mount angled across, or with the knob facing forwards or rearwards on the top of the master cylinder, when the RAM dog-bone and the Garmin 2595 GPS in its RAM bracket were fitted there was either not enough clearance at the top of the GPS to miss the R1100RT screen, or the mounting touched the fairing in some way, enough to slightly limit the available turn to the left. [The BMW alloy bars are stock, in the low position.] Sadly, that RAM mount was not really suitable to use for a GPS mount on top of the front brake hydraulic cylinder on a 2000 model BMW R1100RT.
