How did you mount the Quad Lock on the R1250RS with its very irregular shaped handlebars. I've been looking at the RAM Tough-Claw to see if it would go on the RS but I think the rectangular portion of the bars is too large to accommodate the RAM Tough-Claw. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. |

I have a Ram ball mount which replaces one of the handlebar bolts. Fitted to this I have the quad look (android), vibration dampener and ball on short double clamp, works fine however the phone covers the speedo. When I have the phone attached I use style 2 on the dash choices which gives a digital speedo to the right of the phone...perfect. |

Zitat von GrantB im Beitrag #16 That looks good, thanks. Similar to my set up, but mine ended up being angled out slightly. I used both the 22mm and 28mm spacers, and the mount is rock solid. To fix the angle, I'll be buying a knuckle adapter (https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/products/...=18336668188787), and possibly another extension arm. Ultimately, after my last tour, where I got fed up with my BMW Navigator 5, I'm going to look at selling it, getting the Black Box embedded and then using the satnav preparation to hold my phone on a Quad Lock mount. 20210907_113911.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)20210907_113921.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)20210907_113931.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)20210907_114006.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #21 This was something I was nervous about. When I bought one for my wife's bike, I bought the case and poncho cover for her phone, but for my phone, I only went for the case. On my recent tour, I put the phone away during a couple of the worst downpours, but otherwise, when on the go, the windscreen kept most of the rain off the phone, and in any case it was hitting the back of the case, rather than the screen itself. Also, my phone (Samsung Galaxy S9) is touted as being waterproof, so I risked it, and never had any issues.

Zitat von trudd im Beitrag #23Zitat von Scorch im Beitrag #20 Yes, so I've heard, though it seems to affect iPhones rather than Android phones. At any rate, I intend to buy the damper along with the knuckle adapter, so I should be covered.

An alternative is to find the front part of the clamp of a GS clutch assembly, because the hole for the wing mirror on the clamp takes an M10 bolt that you can use as an attachment point with one of the RAM ball parts (I forget which one). I got one from a wrecker and used the parts listed in one of the threads elsewhere in the forum. |

I did mine with the original handlebar clamp half and part of a ram mount. I made two stainless spacers and a piece of flat steel bar with longer bolts to give a nice solid mount. I’m also using a vibration damper with the Quadlock.

Oops, as usual I can't upload pictures. Frustrating. Is there a trick to uploading pics? Eventual master of the obvious |
