Handlebar Clamps

[thisisbenji]

Has anyone had any luck getting ride of that once piece handlebar clamp on the 2007+ FZ6? I really want to attach a GPS to my bars, but the clamp is in the way.

You could use the ones off the 04-06

Don't want a riser, the stock bar height is already sky high.

I'v thought about going with the 04-06 clamps, but am unsure on all of the parts I would need. The part websites are rather vague.

If you are wanting to pull the stock top clamps off and put 04-06 clamps on you should only need the clamps. The bolts possibly as well but I do not see why you would need anything else unless you have an aftermarket triple.

The clamps are part number 4H7-23441-01-35, not sure about the bolts though!

Also, have you looked into GPS pouches that use velcro?

I have something like this, and it fits perfectly on the middle clamp:

You can see the velcro part on the bars in this pic:

I have one of these for sale if you are interested. It allows you to fit a GPS (or any AMPS hole spacing device) on top of the handlebars.

I used it a couple of times with a Garmin car GPS in a Ram Aquabox.

I was planning on going with one of these...

iPhone Motorcycle Handlebar Mount for Harley Davidson / Victory / Etc

At least until I can buy a dedicated motorcycle GPS.

How sturdy is the velcro?

How sturdy is the velcro?

Here, this is the actual one i have, it's a bit more expensive than the one i posted earlier:

GPS MOTO - So Easy Rider - Site officiel du fabricant - Manufacturer official website Support GPS moto So Easy Rider V5 Support iphone moto - support samsung moto - support smartphone pour moto

The velcro is very sturdy (3M), it really doesn't go anywhere without you ripping it of. I have done 130mph with the GPS on and was never worried it would fly off and hit me in the face.

The large flat clamp actually makes a great support for it and makes it very secure.

That actually looks really nice, if I was using a standard GPS I would go that route.

They do a smartphone sized one!

I already have these iPhone Bike Mount for iPhone 4/4s, 5/5s on all of my bicycles, so it would be easiest just to get the motorcycle one as well.
