Any local sources for RAM mounts?
by Louis F. Caplan

Rate this Message:
With my new (to me) bike, I'll have to install the GPS differently, probably using the RAM U-Bolt onto the handle bar. Everything else I have should work find. I've always gotten my RAM stuff through on line orders before. But this time I just need one piece, so probably not worth the shipping if there is a local place I could pick it up. Does anyone know if it's sold locally anywhere?

I know I struck out the 2 places closest to me- cycle sport & MFI. I'm also reasonably sure that Fast lane doesn't have them. I stopped there because even if there a shop outside that circle who did have them, I'd probably be better off paying to have it shipped than burn the gas to go get it... :-( _______________________________________________ dc-cycles mailing list dc-cycles@... http://dc-cycles.org/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/dc-cycles |

You should try the local boating stores, Bass pro shops might have some.

This thread reminded me I need a Ram parts. I've used GPS city before and
they were pretty quick. Placed an order a hour ago, it has just been shipped. Shipping was less than $6 for a handfull of parts.
