Can you say "Rip off"?

I was looking around the Yamaha site....I saw this and it is identical to what I have bought on ebay.....here's both links for comparison

Exactly the same from what I can see.

I have always found that Yamaha Canada is approx 40% higher than US pricing. Their excuse....we are a smaller market so they have to charge more? I would say that's just another example of the Cdn Yamaha pricing.

Well, the Fleabay one isn't an official Yamaha ® product...

Ok how funny. I just bought one of these for my scoot for the cell phone. Got off e-bay pretty decent piece.

It will cost you a couple more bucks but if you want to go with a high quality versatile system check out the X-Grip mounts from RAM. I have have been using one of these for my phone and hand held GPS.

I know the one I posted from ebay is pretty cheap.

 

I use elastic bands to hold my phone in place cause there is no way I'd trust the clamps to hold it!

I used mine the other day on an excursion of around 100 miles. Held phone tight. Although I am thinking of a secondary system to secure on my long trips. I was thinking velcro strips I have to secure the cables/wires for the extra devices. but now you mention it I think the ole rubber band may be the best route. Thanks for the idea. I think I could actually move it around so the camera shoots thru the windshield and take pics going down the road if I wanted to.

I use a cord with a push button device like you would find on a sleeping bag. Used a rubber band for a while but this works better, last longer and looks better.[ATTACH]77741[/ATTACH]
