I have a custom-modified Ram mount (modified by Bob Telferizer: http://www.telferizer.co.uk/) that was made for the SV650S K4. It cost me £22 IIRC, yours for £10 (plus whatever P&P works out at).
It is 100% compatible with normal Ram Mount equipment and hence can be used to mount almost anything: Tomtom, Garmin, Dataloggers, Cameras, etc.
I found various bar-mounted mounts to be a bit vibey on the SV (and this ultimately resulted in damage to the first SD card I had in my GPS). This location is not affected by bar wag/movement and is much less vibration prone. I used it for over 20,000 miles without incident and the condition is still great, no signs of wear.
NB: This sale is for the SV-specific ball mount only (hence its inclusion here, rather than idle banter). If you need other Ram Mount bits for use in conjunction with this, a wide variety will be in here:

shortly.
In have not tried it on other bikes but it should fit other Pointies with a hole in the middle of the central headstock cap, provided this is the same size diameter as the K4. I know my brothers K7 does not have this hole, but don't know about other models. If anyone knows for sure that these two caps are the same (bar the hole), I would be happy to swap mine with the buyer if they have the more recent one and didn't want to drill a hole in it themselves.
PM me if interested. Paypal prefered, but not essential.
