I have a 1" RAM mount on the front clamp part of the clutch reservoir clamp. I am wanting to move the Zumo up higher so it sits above the cb switches, and with the arm I have on there now (short one) it blocks the switches. If I put a longer arm on, the angle isn't correct and the Zumo 550 can't be set right above the cb switch bank ... Has anyone put a RAM ball directly on the reservoir cover by drilling and tapping ? I wonder if the weight of the 550 would cause a problem for the cover?

Thanks

Thanks to all for the suggestions

I ordered a ball tapped for 1/4" X 20, and I'll use a small piece of all thread or a bolt to put it on the cover, after I tap the cover. A thin nut on the inside should hold it solid. That and a 3" arm should put the Zumo in the right spot ... Thanks again
