Ram X Grip

[Timbo Slice]

Good Morning Everyone,

Looking for a way to mount my phone to my handlebars when I go to a bluetooth headset in the near future. How are most people with these Ram X-Grip mounts configuring their setup? Curious if people are using the handlebar clamp base using the M8 screws, or are just having it clamped to the bar itself.

TIA!

It's a matter of personal preference. I have always used the fork stem base. If you are wanting to have the phone more "up and center", than one of the many bar bases or brake reservoir base might work better for you. Figure out where you want the phone in space, and then determine the best mount type to get it there.

This is where I like mine the best:

I use this. It's simple, there's no in between connection arms, and easy to move from bike to bike.

I copied another member here and made a bar that goes above the gauges, behind the windscreen, attached to the top two inner fairing screws. Use a ~12" long piece of 3/4" copper pipe, flatten the two ends in a vise, and bend them to fit nice against the inner fairing. Attached the ram grip to that.

OT. Swedespeed, how is it that your gauge cluster is centered? Where did you get the upper bar Clamp?

Speedometer is a custom mount, built it myself. Bar clamp is just the stock clamp from 2007+ FZ6, got it used on eBay.
