They make holders for anything. I'm waiting on the gps holder but here is a pic of the yoke ram mount i installed.

Same setup I have. Had to cobble up my own rubber cork. The one that came with it wouldn't hold tight enough.

I am in the middle of watching Mecum's Monterey auction that I recorded from yesterday. It is all classic and antique motorcycles. What an amazing group of motorcycles. I DVRed it from HD Theater.

Great deal for someone:



2002 VFR 17.5K miles $3000

Mechanically sound, has been down once. Located in Lafayette, IN
Comes with the following:
Honda matching side hard bags with bag liners (the removable gray bags that make loading/unloading easy)
Honda matching rear trunk, trunk and side bags are keyed to the same key
Sargent aftermarket seat
Throttlemeister throttle lock
"VFR-ness" wiring harness (search for it on this forum)
comes with stock windscreeen and a Zero Gravity double bubble tinted windscreen (not installed)

All recall work completed.
16k valve check done.
Newer tires
Newer chain and factory sprockets
A set of new Honda spark plugs
Clear title
I recently bought a ST1300 and I have no use for 2 bikes

What it needs:
oil change
possibly new battery (seems ok though)

Just in from a nice 85-mile ride
These gloves are awesome
97% comfort, the 3% is the seam on the right thumb
If the tbumb stretches slightly it will be all good
I can't believe how cool and comfortable they are
Once again, great suggestion on product Mark, thanks!

Fired up my bike last night for the first time in weeks. Running rough(carbs probably gummed up from lack of use), I took it for a short ride, maybe 5 or 6 miles. seemed to clear up after a couple of high rpm blasts. Froze my ass off though while wearing just a sweatahirt and helmet. Since getting the S2000, I tend to overlook the bike when entering the garage. Kind of a shame as the bike is more of a rush to ride, but our deer population here is way out of control. BTW, it's a 2000 kawasaki zrx 1100, retro-cool imho. Hogan
