    ISTR Bear singing the praises of the GPS mount on his R1, that fixed in
    the steering stem nut. Made by some bloke in a shed, IIRC.

    Can anybody remember the details?

    Yeah, I know, but Bear seemed infeasibly happy with what he'd got.

    Anyway, I got my Google mojo workin': http://www.telferizer.co.uk/

    Not having tubular bars on the thou I wondered how I was going to mount
    a TomTom but five minutes of head scratching later I'd got the ram mount
    clamped to the left clip-on, just between the clutch lever mount and top
    yoke. Job's a good'un.

    Nope but I've got a genuine RAM one at home somewhere that's yours
    free if I can find it. I had a quick look when Ogden was over on
    Saturday so I could show him what they look like but basically it's a
    tapered rubber bung with a centre bolt that compresses the rubber
    locking it in place. Not expensive even if you buy the genuine
    article.

    Mr Telferizer himself phoned me last night, and told me all the details
    about his kit, and I asked him about the differences between his and the
    RAM one. The genuine RAM one doesn't sound like it's particularly secure
    (depending on the bike, I guess), whereas Telfer's sounds like it would
    need a direct missile strike to shift it.

    It'll be about 20 quid more than the RAM stuff, but I'm happy to pay
    that for the service he provides and the peace of mind.

    It goes right through the steering stem, and bolts underneath, AIUI.
    Slotted washer at the bottom to ensure that any water that does manage
    to get in can get out again. All lovingly hand-crafted, polished on the
    thighs of virgins, etc.

    He'll molish the appropriate pieces for me, include all the other RAM
    pieces that I need, then send them to me for my approval before he takes
    any money off me, or I can just send the bits back if I'm not happy with
    them.

    It doesn't really scale as a business model.
