bugfish69 Posted April 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2008 I want to mount my GPS and Sirius and I have reviewed the Ram mounts that come highly recommended in the post and they are nice, but it seems to be too much stuff on the bars. I wanted to make use it the dash space where the front speakers are. Is anyone using the speaker vents to mount Sirius or GPS? I have seen vent mount for use in the cage. Is anyone making use of that method? Thanks, Bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sttenor Posted April 23, 2008 Share #2 Posted April 23, 2008 I have a GPS mounted on my handlebars with a Ram mount. It isn't cumbersome at all and rock solid. They are terrific. I use my GPS for my tunes, so I have no XM or Sirius. My only worry would be that the vent mounts I've seen are a bit flimsy. That's ok in a cage, but I wouldn't want to put my $400-$600 GPS or any other electonics on the pavement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted April 23, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 23, 2008 Here is an option that you can put on top of your brake and clutch reservior and they are a preferred dealer to us. http://www.hoonhardware.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hale374 Posted April 23, 2008 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2008 What squid said. I have the Hoon Hardware mount for my xm on the brake resevoir. Works great. I also mounted my garage door opener beside my antenna. Plenty of room. I then use the RAM mount for my GPS with the extension to place it almost in my field of view.

I tried the speaker grills they don't work. Too flimsy and the grills are to thick. The XM shook all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest five-ate Posted October 8, 2008 Share #6 Posted October 8, 2008 I tried to hook up my Sirius to my venture and got no power. There is power to the test light, but the unit doesn't light up. I messed with it for about 5 hours over two days and got nothing. Is there a secret that I don't know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKleven Posted October 13, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 13, 2008 I used a mount from TSS Radio.... mounts on the brake or clutch bracket..... works very well, comes with antenna and everthing that you need, might have to extend the antenna bracket a little bit, I can take my sirrus from the truck to bike anytime I want, the docking station stays on the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I messed with it for about 5 hours over two days and got nothing. Is there a secret that I don't know about? You had power(voltage), are you sure you had a ground on the power wire also? Probe the inner barrel to the outer barrel with a test light. What do you have? Are you sure the center is positive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecdoo Posted October 13, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 13, 2008 When Steve came to our meet, he had a mount that went under the mirror stem, unscrew mirror insert mount, replace mirror and then add ram mount, works great. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
