I have my doubts it'll fit. Had a look just now but it's too dark to see properly. I'll post up a photo of my Madstad bracket tomorrow and you can tell me if you recon it'll work. Hope it does.... looks a nice bit of kit.

I worked with Madstad to make sure the bracket would work with the SW Motech bracket with each using different mounting holes. The SW-Motech angles the bracket to fit while the Cymarc uses a flat design and standoffs to clear the center fairing bump which won't work if the Madstad has to use different holes than the Cymarc. As long as the Madstad uses the same holes as the Cymarc though, it shouldn't be a problem. The Madstad bracket will fit on top of the Cymarc bracket like it does on the SW-Motech bracket in this picture.

Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

That all makes perfect sense greywolf, thanks.

As I have my Madstad bracket set on the lowest position I'd need to change it to the highest position to use the cymarc bracket unless there is still plenty room for the ram ball if I keep it on the lowest one.

It's starting to get a bit hit or miss now...  :shrug:

Because I might only be able to use the cymarc bracket on the highest setting, a setting I didn't like my screen at. I know everything is adjustable with the Madstad so I'll move my set up from it's current low position to the high one and see if I like it. Hopefully it'll be OK as I'd like to give the fella my business again.

If the RAM ball impinges on the fairing in the lower hole set, it can probably be mounted in the front of the satnav bracket. If the Madstad bracket still doesn't clear, it can be mounted on spacers to move it out a bit.

Stupid Question time..... :fix:

Where could I get the longer M5 Allen Bolts and longer spacers, I think I may need?  and what length?

I have a Givi Airflow screen fitted.

Also, seeing as I'm at it any way.......how easy is the Sat Nav cable routed from here to the 12v socket fitted on the right handside of my bike?

Thanks in advance.

I got these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Pack-M8-mm ... 4d1324b044

Pick your size - standard on the MRA touring screen are M5 15mm x 15 long and 15mm x 10 long.

For the M5 bolts I used these:

Well you might have thought that but its the forum filters I think.

It won`t let me print a-s-s as one word, putting in `donkey` (my wife's - and yours - pet name for me btw)

The Ram Ball/Arm combination gives the flexibility to mount any GPS at any angle, far less complicated  :thumb:


Is that a 2inch or 3inch ram socket in the in the picture?
I'm waiting on one from cosmos and wondering which one to order.

Any ideas if this fits comfortably behind / in front of (whatever you prefer, delete as necessary) a Givi AirFlow screen??

Great piece of kit ..fitted in 10 mins.. Used longer spacers under ram mount and screen to lift Suzuki vario screen ..seems great
Ram mount slightly vibey but great to have it high up above clocks , great to deal with Marc sent me longer m5 screws ...before the screen even arrived ! What a star !
