RAM X-Grip Phone Mount behind windscreen

When I farkled up the bike I installed an X-Grip phone older on my handlebars but I didn't like where it was positioned as it made it a bit hard to see the dashboard of the bike, it was low so I had to really look down to see the GPS and it would hit my tank bag when turning sharp. So I decided to do something about it. I have seen lots of other bike that have a bar behind the windscreen for people to mount GPSs but I don't have the tools to made such an adapter so instead I decided to purchase a RAM Mount Motorcycle Base and connect it to the upper left nut/bolt of the windscreen mount and then connect my X-Grip to it with the standard base arm. It's perfect as I can see it without really looking down, doesn't affect the dash, not in the way of anything other then when standing it cuts off part of the RPM gauge but I don't care about that, I don't look at it when I'm standing!

Here is the parts list:
RAM-HOL-UN10BU - X-Grip for larger phones
RAM-B-201U - Standard Length Double Socket Arm
RAM-B-272U - Angled Base
Nylon Bushing - 9mm od / 6mm id - Same thickness as base
Reused all other hardware.
Locktite on nut/bolt
