Thankyou for the pointers in fitting the Ram mount. I've just bought the Ram mount Ball and plate that attaches to the clutch reservoir. As you showed it came with the selection of screws, spacers and washers for the various models. I went about fitting it on my Gen1. I found that the supplied spacers, were too long & needed to be sanded & shortened, to allow the screws to bite. Sorted now but may may be a Gen 1 thing.
The X-grip is absolutely fabletastic! One small thing to be careful about though: make sure you turn your bars full tilt left to full tilt right with the phone in the mount and the cable connected, after EVERY adjustment. Why? Because if you don't you risk finding out that the phone is a little bit too high or too low in a corner when it pressed against the windscreen or the tank and either break the cable connector or, way worse, push the phone out of the cradle. I had to learn the hard way - now you know too :)
Thanks, very useful and instructional video. Unlike others, you made a simple video providing detailed and specific information only, in a clear voice without annoying background music.
Hi I've tried these X-Grip + Ram Mount on my Note 3 before.. Never felt secure having it gripping my device so I used to have to tether my device with a lanyard. And believe me, the phone had ever slipped out of the X-Mount grip while riding a bump on the road. I've since moved on to the Slip Grip Mount +Ram Mount and feel very happy with it.
+TwoWheelObsession do you have a recommendation for getting audio from the phone into the helmet? do you use bluetooth? earbuds or speakers in helmet? great vids by the way - teaching me everything
Nice...Amazon is delivering my Ram mount pieces tomorrow. I went with the u-bolt handlebar mount. Unfortunately I have to wait until spring to try it out on the road.
Nice, I've been using the fork stem mount on my Aprilia for years, love 'em! I've been looking for a solution for my dad on his FJR as he's keen to get one for when he goes out touring. One question...... what is the base mount called? I've been searching their site but I can't find it! There's frickin' tons of them! cheers
+TwoWheelObsession yeah I've tried searching for that on their UK site, but it doesn't come up. I've found it on the US site though. Thanks for the reply
Great video, I have a new to me 2008 FJR-er (my first bike) and love your videos . Are you still happy with the clutch reservoir mount? I had been thinking about the replacement stem mount till I saw this one.
Just mounted this on my FJR. My problem with this holder since I have an iPhone X and the grips seem to always land on the volume and /or the on-off switch. If I move it so that the grips don’t hit those buttons it’s either too high/too low for a truly solid grip.
I have the RAM X mount on my F800GT, and recently changed phone cases and went over a bridge in Sarasota and it actually jumped out of the X-Mount. The pavement was not smooth with the bridge as it was under construction at the time. I appreciate your video's as well. Had a question with regards to the Motorcycle seat, I noticed that it shaped more like a cruzer... Who made it like that for you? I forgot which video it was on, I only remember that you went to a cigar shop after you got it. Thanks in advance. The Biker Bug
@@TwoWheelObsession OK, as i want the better bee seen on the road, i will mount 2 small LED lights. I may need a bracket to mount them i guess. TnX :-)
Don't for get to Super Glue the the rubber pieces before you get too far. The electrical connection doesn't stay connected using the standard cords. I would like to have the magnet connection but I have an S5 and there isn't a good one for it.
Lol. That is funny. And good to know. I only need gps - why the whole phone? I’m not Getting million dollar business deals. Not texting while driving. and unless I got some sena in my helmet, not answering calls. And if I did want to answer calls, the phone can be in my pocket. So, I use a disposable 3-400 garmin gps and don’t put my phone out there. I think it’s pretty stupid and the people that do it, most of them have a malfunction in their thinking.
Lookin good bro, Sak McL here from Cigar Obsession and CO Fans on FB. You'll notice alot of my user names are based around the email dasr1985. Anyhow, thanks for the video, I'm gonna have to look into that as I do a bit of riding that varies between the day to day to and from work and also traveling sometimes over hundreds of miles on weekends. This type of set up would be perfect!

Thanks mate. I ride an FJR; after seeing your video I ordered the kit. $110 is Australian Pesos but still worth it!

Well to be fair it's a PHONE mount not a phablet. My wife had a Note3 - it's HUGE. I would never put something THAT size in it, not meant for it.

+mrsparkyaprilia It's the clutch reservoir cover mount. You can also screw right in to the hole next to it just to the left.
+TwoWheelObsession yeah I've tried searching for that on their UK site, but it doesn't come up. I've found it on the US site though. Thanks for the reply
i just found you and subed. I too have an FJR and love it. great vid!! going to ram mounts now!!
Just purchased a 2007 FJR and was trying to come up with a way to mount my S4, thank you.
Great video, I have a new to me 2008 FJR-er (my first bike) and love your videos . Are you still happy with the clutch reservoir mount? I had been thinking about the replacement stem mount till I saw this one.
+GronkTest yep
Great video! Might I inquire size/part number of the base plate? Are the balls 1" or 1.5"? thank you in advance. 2013 FJR owner.

Yeah I had the same problem with my X. I went to quad lock and live it
Great videos - is there a reason that you did not want to use the Ram stem mount for the FJR ? I am trying to decide which way to go
+chavezvive because that's not where I wanted it in my line of sight
TwoWheelObsession got it - thanks - helpful

Which anti seize did you use? There are so many to choose from?
Light Kits/Fog lights - have you done a video of how & where to mount on the FJR?
Tnx :-)
Sorry, never wanted or needed them, to do a vid
@@TwoWheelObsession OK, as i want the better bee seen on the road, i will mount 2 small LED lights. I may need a bracket to mount them i guess.
TnX :-)
Did you do a video on the install of the USB adaptor (to power the phone)? I didn't see it on your channel.

Thanks.
Don't for get to Super Glue the the rubber pieces before you get too far. The electrical connection doesn't stay connected using the standard cords. I would like to have the magnet connection but I have an S5 and there isn't a good one for it.
They have been glued from the factory for almost 2 years, and my cable has never even started to come loose.
Hi, but the windshield will hit the gopro or the phone , if you turn the handel bar. cheers
Uh, no.
Could have ordered a ram ball M10X 1.25 to screw into the mirror mount on the clutch master cylinder for about 8 bucks like I did.
I didn't want it that far left by the controls
That's where I put it. Works well. Does feel a little crowded as far as sight lines with the controls, but doesn't interfere with function.
you know there is a 10mm threaded hole, right next to that container, the hole is designed for RAM mount or any other mounts. But good video.
just subedyou and watched the vid of the walkaround on the fjr and this vid great vids by the way
Thanks for another nice video.
So you shot that all using just a iphone?
banditxyz100 Yeah I've done hundreds of vids with my iPhone.
It's RAM-B-345 part #?
Great stuff
how do you run a power supply to your phone via usb?
With an adapter in the glovebox socket
@@TwoWheelObsession can you possibly do a video on how it fits? Does the door shut with the wire protruding? Thank you
It doesn’t need a video. Yes it shuts fine you just do it
I lost my phone using the X grip mount Phone blew off I think the spring load has 2 year shelf life
