They look like these...(1.75 in)

I really don't know what I need (how a ram ball mount goes together) to attach my phone (HTC EVO) so that I can have GPS.  Any ideas?

Looks like the ones I just removed.  They should have a screw hole for a screw in ram mount.  When I bought mine, I also bought the ram mount accessory.  I don't know if the ram mounts have different thread sizes.  I could check mine and see what the size of the screw portion but it won't be until this weekend.  Out on a job now.

Ok sounds good. :)

In checking the threads on the ram ball that screws into the Heli 1 3/4 risers, it appears to be 3/8 16tpi.  You may want to buy a bolt with those specs and try it first, though.  I'm surprised a bit they weren't metric.

This is the model you want if you want to use one of your existing handlebar clamp bolts for the ball.
