Maybe I'm being a bit fussy here, but does anyone else think that the RAM mount kit (for affixing yer Prat-Nav to yer bike) is a bit "mickey mouse"?
Yes, I know that they're catering for Metric and Imperial fasteners but, really do the mounting holes in the Handlebar Base have to be so HUGE? Sure clearance is needed for the 1/4" (6.25mm) screws but a hole that's 7mm one side and the hole opens out to damn near 9mm the other side?
And plastic spacers? What's that all about? And the mounting screws - a 4mm hex key for an M6 fastening. I don't know about other bikes but Honda recommend a torque setting of 12lb/ft for the lever retaining clamp bolts, not massive I'll admit - but a 4mm hex!?
This Handlebar Base is meant to connect to either the Clutch or Brake lever mounting - so rather important that the levers don't fall off. I'm not impressed.
Yes, go ahead and tell me I'm worrying about nothing - it might calm me down a bit.
