Title: 1" 1/4 bar mount
Post by: SBB on September 28, 2006, 11:42:01 AM
I have the Quest ll with the motorcycle mount.
The mount is for a 1" handlebar. Worked on the Classic and SEEG and Lowrider
The Frontier has 1" 1/4 bars.
Where or who has a mount that I can get that will fit the 1" 1/4 bar?

Any ideas? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I'm gonna take a leap of faith here and assume the brkt is made from billet stock.  Take it to a machine shop and ask them to resize the hole to 1 1/4" Shouldn't cost you more than $25 for their time.

Great thought Spiderman,

but wrong

Damn thing is cast aluminum.
How do I know that?
Just broke the old one. >:(
So now I have to buy a new 1" and find a 1" 1/4

But thanks for trying!

If Spiders suggestion is not feasible, another alternative is Techmount's chrome Mini-Mount w/chrome mounting plate.  Great product!!!  Several of us here on the site are using this mounting system for GPS and/or radar detectors. Call them...they now offer the AMP mounting bolt pattern, depending on what type of cradle you have for the unit.

Here's the link:  http://www.techmounts.com/

I have the Quest 2 and found the perfect mount, the H-D mount. I threw that p.o.s. H-D Quest 1 in the trash, bought the Quest 2 and it fits perfectly in the mount / holder. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Both units are exactly the same size but vastly different in their abilities and functions.

Thanks TC

Didn't see any bar mounts for an 1" 1/4 bar that match up to the Quest mount!

Here's the 1 1/4" mount.
I thought it was expensive at 80 bucks but the kit included earphone hook-up.
Worked good on the Frontier,,, even as hard as I shook it :o :o

Silver-black did you get the 1 1/4 mount from techmount pt#30999?

Chip, just a suggestion if you ever find yourself using that 1" mount again.  On the red bike with the 1.25" bars I've got a u-bolt type mount like you used for the 1" bar.  Think about putting a thickness or two of heat shrink tubing on the bolt to eliminate the metal to metal contact.  Have seen a couple of handlebars that had permanent marks coming from that contact.
