I tried installing on the bar but the vibration was so bad I couldn't read the screen. Did you do something to stop the vibration?Juan said:I did use a RAM mount on the handlebar, but now I'm using the RAM mount on the bar of the MADSTAD windscreen mount. I find it better in that position; more in the line of sight.
Where did you get that RAM fitting kit, looks much better that the shite that came with my Zumo 340.Bryn said:I had one on the Super Tenere when I first added my Zumo 590... no issues. RAM mounts are good bits of kit. I've now got the SatNav on the screen bar as I prefer it there ....]
I make sure the MADSTAD bracket is tightly fixed to the plastic uprights that support the OEM screen. However, on bumpy roads there is always an element of vibration. It's perfectly OK on smooth roads though.vapexpr said:I tried installing on the bar but the vibration was so bad I couldn't read the screen. Did you do something to stop the vibration?

That looks like the bit that connects to the back of the sat-nav, how did you then connect that to the bike?Bryn said:I think the square plate came with the 590

The RAM arm is a 2" I just manouver it so it sat close to the back of the unit and looked neat..
i now have a custom 3D printed mount on the screen bar, and a couple of aluminium brackets to steady the wobble..
This is the accessory RAM bike mount you can buy if you need another Zumo 590 mount. It is the same as supplied with the Zumo 590.Rasher said:That looks like the bit that connects to the back of the sat-nav, how did you then connect that to the bike?
That is where I am having a problem, the kit that came with mine will not fit onto the handlebars other than right at the end where they taper right down, I cannot find anything to fix it near the middle of the bars without buying custom S10 kits at £60+
So have you got the square plate with a RAM ball on it, which bolts to the back of the unit? also do you have a short RAM arm?Rasher said:That looks like the bit that connects to the back of the sat-nav, how did you then connect that to the bike?

What's your setup to mount that radar? It looks really low and tight which is nice. With the way the Ram mounts are set up they have to extend out a bit further than I care for. I have one I use for my phone, but would like to mount my radar as low and forward as possible on the front windshield mounting bar.OldRider said:Check out the Ram claw mount. It holds great and can be taken on & off in seconds. Take it anywhere, anytime.
