On a 2001 Monster 900, can the steering nut be easily removed and a RAM mount inserted, or will that mess with anything inside the steering stem? I havent seen this mod on a Monster this old, only with the newer style steering stems.
Would love to know this as well, I have a 2001 s4...
Not 100% 2001 900 but those steering stem mounts are for mostly Japanese bikes that have a hole threw the steering stem.
Dunno, but for Monsters that had bars but now have clip-ons and s stock upper triple this works:
Part Number:
RAM-B-252U RAM 2.25" x 0.87" Base with 11mm Hole and 1" Ball

Oh, not the S4.
I wouldn't mind a mount to hold my Tom Tom on a future adventure bike.
Thanks again Howie. I have an aftermarket triple though (Cycle cat I think) , in addition to the clip ons. The link you sent for the mirror mount could work though. Ideally, I would like to have the GPS centered and somewhat protected by the little fairing. I also figured out that I think I can fit a small U-bolt based mount through the machined-out spaces in the new triple.
