GPS Mount for new Forza 300??

rollmops · Post by **rollmops** » Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:18 am

Did someone find a solution to mount a smartphone/GPS on the new Forza 300?
I am thinking of using the RAM-B-346U and Drill one extra hole.

Code: Select all

There's the option of mounting a Ram ball in the "false" mirror mounts, probably the r/h side is best for space. A central location would be better and I guess that's what you're planning with your modification?

Those are just dummy inserts. Remove them and you have a normal threaded hole to screw in your Ram..

I have used this original Givi mount https://www.forza125shop.com/en/comfort ... g-kit.html .
Since I've installed my termoscud PRO, I am using their system to mount my smartphone/GPS.
My Givi mount+ optional smartphone bag is now for sale if you are interested.
Let me know.

There seems too be different threaded mounts..What is normal??

Stick a few different bolts in the threaded hole and see what size fits. Then order a ram mount with a similar thread.

Might be left hand threads so insert bolts cautiously.

Well, I could just be an engineering genius, or else I read about it on another forum

What I did was I took the plastic insert to the hardware store, tried out which nut fits it and then chose the screw that fits that nut.
The thread is really not "normal" but, what we call a "fine thread" and it is a right thread.
The new screw has to be a bit longer then the plastic one.

Great advice! ^

Are both plastic inserts the same? Or one is a reverse thread?

I've only done it on the left one. It's easy to find out. All you need is a regular screwdriver. If it's left, it's left. If it's right, it's right. It's simple as that.

Received my ram mount today and it fits.
( RAM-B-349U )
However there is very little space left.The right side has more space.
Bit of a shame really because of the 12 v plug .

Any machine shop can make you a 2 inch extension and collar out of stainless rod and thread it...;For probably less than 25 bucks.

I have a PCX so this may not apply to the Forza, but I found out that RAM has some brake reservoir covers that fit my particular year, so that is where my mount is. I actually used one that worked on my Burgman 400. Maybe you can measure the cover and look for one with the same dimensions.
