Author Message   Captjim Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 03:06 pm:        Can anyone tell me the size and thread of the mirror holes in the handlebar levers for the XB? I am wanting to get some RAM ball mounts and I don't have my bike with me. Are they 3/8" 16? If so, I think these would thread right in. http://www.gpscity.com/npi/RAM-B-236U/ramb236/large_graphic.htm I have a Firebolt so the mirror locations are free. Planning on adding some electronics.   Shazam Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 04:49 pm:        pretty sure it's a 10mm x 1.5 thread size   Stealthxb Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 04:50 pm:        What the heck are those things for?   Mikej Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 04:59 pm:        antenna mounts   Stealthxb Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 05:08 pm:        thanks   Evil_twin Posted on Thursday, February 24, 2005 - 03:00 am:        Shazam is right. I found that out when I put my Ness mirrors on. Rich   Captjim Posted on Thursday, February 24, 2005 - 10:30 am:        Thanks guys! Don't think RAM makes a ball with a metric stud so I will have to use another style. The ball is part of a mounting system for electronics and other doo-dads, http://www.ram-mount.com. I have ordered the Veypor performance monitor, http://www.veypor.com, and it comes with a RAM mount system. I am shopping for the best way to mount a ball end onto the Firebolt.   Captainplanet Posted on Thursday, February 24, 2005 - 01:24 pm:        I had a ram mount on my Ninja. The stuff is top notch. I ran a small minidv video camera on it. I have yet to find a good way to use a ram mount on my XB9r.

The rest of the mounts I can use on the other toys. I'll make a new post when I get the gadgets installed.   Captjim Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2005 - 10:37 am:        For anyone that is interested. The thread on the mirror mounting holes which are covered by plugs on a Firebolt is a Fine Metric M10 x 1.25 not the 1.5 that was mentioned above. This is for a 2005 Firebolt not sure if they changed the pitch from 2004 or not.
