I hope you see this Motonosity; I learnt driving my motorcycle from you, starting from your first channel, from basic tutorials, to your vlogs, looking at your behaviour with the bike, how calm you are and things like that. I live in Europe, and I have my driver license, but to be hones I was NOT prepared to ride the bike in a big city or so. I got the NSR125, and for a person with such a little skill such as myself, it was too much. It is winter now, and we have pretty good temperatures, above 0*C so I can ride for an hour to train my skills... and just from watching you, I feel like I am not a danger anymore, and I am more confident. Thank you very much man, keep it up, and we are gonna support you no matter what. Thanks ;*

Nice! Not reading All the comments but will make the suggestion anyways. If you want some Extra security for your phone. Just put some industrial strength velcro on the mounting point on the back of the phone. Few bucks at Lowes, Home Depot, etc

if you dont use that metal washer at 3:45 you can actually tighten it down more on the bike down and the mount will be more secure.

Great product. I love mine. One tip: the folks at ram recommend pulling the 4 rubber nubs off of the mount and squirting super glue into them and reinstalling. This will prohibit them from vibrating off with your device while riding over rough surfaces.

I ordered up the same exact Ram Stem Mount kit for my 2014 ZX6R 636 but did not use the X-Grip but the other more solid phone mount with the finger grips you have to assemble. No matter how much I tightened the stem mount bolt in the fork stem, it did not secure tight enough for my liking. It was snug, but still movable by hand that allowed for small shifts in the mount left or right. Drive me crazy. I sent an Email to the seller on Amazon and I was sent a second kit in case there was a defect with the first. The second kit did the same exact thing so I got a refund. What I did do, is Jerry-rig a T-60 Hex bit in the fork stem. It was a tad loose so I used some electric tape around the T-60 Hex Bit to snug it up where once inserted, it would not move at all. It was even more solid than the RAM Stem Mount!! Once I inserted the T-60 Hex Bit into the fork stem, I simply used the Ram 1" Coupling Mount and the assembled phone mount as a set. The 1" Ram Mount was clamped to the upper open end of the T-60 Hex Bit sticking out of the fork stem while the opposite end was attached to the 1" Ram Mount Ball that was assembled to the phone mount. It worked.

I have a Ram Mount also but I got the phone holder with the fingers instead of the X-Mount. Also for the CBR you have to shave down the largest part of the stem plug. I wish they made one that would fit correctly. The stem plug only tightens so much since the plug is to firm.

I bought this mount after watching this video and I give it a 3/5 review. It is a great mount no doubt but I took a 10mph fall off of the DRZ and the phone popped right out of the older. If it was not for the price and finding out firsthand that it doesn't secure my Galaxy S5 in the case of a fall I don't know if I can recommend it. It does however keep the phone on nice and snug when hooning and doing offroad type stuff.

I just happened to be referred to your KZbin Channel from Daforbra, who mentioned that you had a Install Video for the new RAM Motorcycle Mount. Thanks for uploading it, as it convinced me that it is a good solution to hold my cellphone or gps. As an added measure of preparedness, I also ordered their Aqua Box to use on longer trips to protect the electronics from the weather. I'll use the X-Mount for my daily rides though as it'll be faster to use!

I tested ram xgrip and stem mount on my GSXR. It does the job but ram xgrip is a poorly designed universal phone holder. It holds the phone in place but the stem mount is bad designed (you have to cut yourself the mounting insert to install it into the stem and it self destroys after the first turn of the nut...), does not lock in place and it touches the aluminum stem with the risk of scrathces. The x grip does its job but looks weak and woobly, the rubber holder looks like it is going to break only if you stare at it... I bought it and returned. Better consider other brands such as SP Connect or Quadlock.

Daniel Kelly I've been riding with this mount for a while now. It's great. It's sturdy, stable, and can swivel from horizontal to vertical. On the R1 I can't really see putting the mount anywhere else. When your riding it's right beneath the instrument cluster. Also since they make steering dampers that don't have to go on top, I don't see me ever removing the mount.
