Sticky tape it to one half of your helmet visor??? What with the yokes and clip ons and minimal room....it would otherwise seem unlikely...all kits are usually to be bar mounted.....

Its really trying to find a location for a mount thats your problem...what does your top yolk look like? Do you have marzocchi forks or Ohlins up front? Is the top yoke drilled through or solid? Could one of these fit through?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-RAM-U-Bolt-Motorcycle-Bike-Handlebar-Mount-Base-1-Ball-RAM-B-231Z-/141711778533?hash=item20feae22e5:g:0q0AAOSw~gRV2BcP

Other than that Ram mounts also do ones that go into the ends of the clip ons....the end nearest the fork tops

Or this one may fit under the Front petrol tank fixing bolt...

And this type "may" fit into the end of the clip-on, lhs clutch side when you remove the rubber bung......

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Mount-for-Ducati-848-evo-fits-RAM-1-Ball-/140600318055?hash=item20bc6e9867:g:0F8AAOSwbqpTvDWu

None of which I've tried on my bike...evidently you'd have to check sizes and clearance for steering etc etc....and evidently you cant search simply Bimota phone mounts as its too specific...

Yeh you could....this top "nut" is a Bimota special...but really on the DB5 its just a blanking plug.....the yoke has a separate side clamp bolt...and the adjustment is a separate collar underneath the top yolk...so you could take the plug off and drill through the central allen key recess to bolt a mount onto it...that is if you cant find a similar replacement used for Ducati/aprilia etc

I used the fork stem mount on a few of my bikes, but there are other options. I don't know what would work best on your bike.
