RAM Mount on a RightWay GPS Bracket

RAM Mount to RightWay GPS Bracket

Introduction

The RAM ball mount is one of the RightWay GPS makes good products at very reasonable price and RAM Mounts are state of the art for attaching devices to motorcycles. Unfortunately, RAM Mounts does not make a bracket for any RightWay GPS units (yet). The upside is that the RightWay GPS RW 400/500 cradle is light, easily modifiable, and solidly grips the unit. The only downside is that the RightWay GPS cradle is designed for automotive use and does not provide road debris protection.

Instructions

Locate the RightWay GPS cradle that came with the RW 400/500 or similar unit.
Select adequate stainless steel hardware (bolts 1/2 to 3/4 inch in length should work well depending on whether you deem washers as necessary) I used Nylon lock nuts and counter-sunk bolts.
RAM Mount 2 7/16" X 1 5/16" diamond shaped base with a one inch ball (RAM part # RAM-B-238U) works well with the cradle.
Carefully mark, drill, and counter sink holes.
Use restraint in torquing the fasteners when attaching the ball mount base to the GPS cradle so as not to crush the plastic cradle.
