I bought the mirror extenders from Adventure-Tech and bought the ram mount system. I have been playing around with different set ups. I used this cheap and held video camera for a trial run. I will probably have gps on one and a video camera, phone, or light on the other.

The ram mounts seem to be very good quality. Mostly made of metal.

Glad I'm not the only one. I put a RAM ball on each side so I can add what I want. I used the same extenders on my DR650 to get the mirrors out but also give me a high mounting point for some spot lights. I have some night time off road stuff planned for this summer.

The RAM components are pretty handy.

I didn't know I'd want to mount anything until 6-8 months after I had ordered and installed the extenders without the threaded extensions... so I improvised:


That's a 0.38-16 threaded RAM 'B' ball mounted into the leading edge of the clutch-side extender and secured with permanent thread locking goo.

Vstrom73, Are the ram mounts with pivoting ball pictured above the ones your bought from RichlandRick? Were they $9 each?

I am trying to get the vstrom.info page for his products to load but seems like I can't ever get it to load the webpage. Maybe Google Chrome is my problem.

I bought the mirror extenders with threaded extensions from Rick..

Everything else I bought from the Ram mount website under the motorcycle section.

I don't like how long the arms are so I am getting shorter arms to see how they look.

No --that is a part off of the ram mount site. The Ram site claims they are a new part for motorcycles to add adjustability to their ram mount systems. I do actually like that part. I can push it all the was down and the arm angled up so the camera is straight up but alot lower and not in my visual field.

I can look up the part number if you have trouble finding it. I do not really care for their site. I find it difficult to find what I want. Everytime I go to that site I find something new that I find interesting.

Your prompt response and willingness to answer my questions is very appreciated. Does the piece I circled circled screw into the threaded hole on the mirror extender from RichlandRick?

I agree about the ram site, there is so many possibilities. The same as the Eastern Beaver site. Both are incredibly overwhelming! I end up getting confused and not buying anything.

yes it does -- I think I went with the standard m10x1.25 when I orderd the mirror extender. That piece you circled comes with 4 different screws so It works with a variety of holes.

The funny thing with the ram site is when you are checking out they give you the option of leaving their site to order from a variety of online vendors that they list.

I looked at the other sites and was even more frustrated. At least the Ram site has every possible option -- you just have to search thoroughly.

The nice thing is my items were shipped within 24 hours of placing the order and I had it in my hand in 3 days.

good luck
