Reminder! August meet is this Saturday!
((time has changed, please check the OP))

 

just throwing this out there:

If anyone in the area has stock leaf springs they don't want, feel free to let me know. Free is best (if I am doing you a service by getting them out of your garage) but understand nothing in life is free. Gonna start building a camping trailer for an RTT and starting to price everything out. Need to build an axle and not looking to spend a shit ton on that particular part.

If you know someone looking to get rid of some, let me know!

(ill post the designs and layout sometime in the coming months haha..not sure if I can on a govt computer lots of firewalls)

 

Also, any good, reputable metal sellers...Tacoma Steel Supply??? etc?

 

what area do you live in? There are several in Seattle, some of which carry recycled materials as well. That's if u don't mind stripping some paint off to save a few bucks.

Anyone have experience with these? Is it strong enough to hold an ipad air on a bouncy trail? Or what RAM mount is best?

My buddy is running that with a similar tablet on the handlebars of a 990 adventure.

 

I use the smaller version for my iPhone and it works great. Where you have it mounted is defintately the weak link.

I have a 1" ball mount, 3" extension, then the Xgrip. Rock solid.

 

Plus another one on the x-grips. Running mine with no drilling. Proclip usa vent moutn, universal ball socket from Amazon, and then the large x-grip for my phablet.

 

I have the fully incased one with the spring loaded side. works great
