    Hi guys, I’m new here and new to the bike. It was delivered three days ago. A red VFR 1200F 2010.
    A beautiful bike, unfortunately I can’t ride it quite yet as I’m just getting over surgery but I can’t bloody wait. Now the problem I’m having is that at some stage I will want to fit my tomtom satnav to it. It seems from all the threads I’ve read on here is the yoke centre bolt/cap seems to be a good place to Mount a RAM mounting kit.
    So I took off the plastic cover and it’s not hollow, there is some sort of metal thing about a centre meter down. That does have a hole in the centre, albeit a small hole, but it does have threads....
    Now my dilemma is which RAM mounting stem fits?
    Any help especially with photos/recommendations would be great.

    Found a M6 bolt and it is, it fits. Screwed it in there but it wouldn’t lift out.... so I guess I’ve got half the mounting kit already installed. That will save a few quid...:)
    So what do I do next?
