I've noticed that some of us are finding that the various tab options are not always compatible with the bikes hardware
The Nav hoop on the LC varients is a 12mm bar, so there is some standardisation for 3rd party mounts
However there range of movement up / down is limited,
If you have an older model GS, the std kombi hoop, offers little height options,
adding the GSA nav hoop gives a bit more height but still means you need a Ram or other mount to bring the tab into your preferred view range.
The small amps block that pops up on ebay & similar sites has the wrong profile for the GSA nav hoop and dosent give the height clearance for the kombi
Ive seen that the screen hoop for the GSA extended screen has a horizontal bar which appear to be way higher than the GSA nav hoop,
But the drawback to that is that it is only good if you have that type of screen -
Currently i'm using an ultimate addons ram ball via a ram arm to fix the tablet, mounted on the crossbrace for my Givi airflow screen
Downside is, if your determined, its just a matter of unscrewing the ram mount and its off
I had an idea for a mounting plate that may work with the amps type block
the height is controlled by moving it up or down on the amps block.
The front back is the issue, i was thinking that if another half of the amps block (or slimmer slices ) were added you could then move the tab fwd or back as you wanted
The theory is it eliminates any extra parts between the mount and the tablet, and reduces any unwanted vibrations
(it also makes it a tad harder to half inch)
what do you think ? and feel free to take the piss for my back of the envelope sketch
The holes on the outer plate would need to be matched to your tab brackets current hole spacing
I'll see if i can get some plate over the next week or so and see if i can make a working version
