Use a tether!: Ball joints

I like the compact dimensions. I've been using them for years and two of them broke while holding a small GPS in my hands. My buddy had the same ball mount on his bike during a recent ride. We had just covered a long rocky stretch when he looked down and found his GPS, tire levers and arm gone. This product broke and had no leash so all was lost. All three had broken legs, near the bolt that attached them to the bike.

Pros
  • Ease of installation
Cons
  • Some cons

Such a simple thing that meant a lot to me.

Used this to move the GPS mount on my Dual Sport (701) motorcycle. I first used the RAM handlebar mount which worked but wasn't particularly secure and was too close to my body when standing. I've found my body gets stuck in the GPS far too often on rough terrain. This allowed me to anchor the aluminum shaft of my forearm, which moved it about 4-5 inches forward and a few inches higher, making it easier to look down when standing and better in sight when seated.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Small

Just didn't work for my application

RAM mounts are the gold standard and they have many extras that help tie the base mount to your hardware. screw on the back. I was left to my own ingenuity to figure out how to attach the radio to the bracket. After trying two other attachments offered by RAM, I finally found one that worked. This nozzle is probably a good product. It just didn't suit me. Problem? The hole in the bracket was too big for the head of the screw that matched the radio and washers to get it working, not an optionโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Some difficulty

The coating falls off. But it looks like a good mount.

First review: I haven't installed/used it yet, so I can't comment on its physical application yet. I was a bit disappointed when I opened the package to find that the black protective film on it was badly damaged and "peeling". For the price you really don't expect to get something in this condition. So keep in mind that you may need to put some kind of protective coating on it. Otherwise it would be a very secure ball mount in my first opinion. And I am very glad that a corner ball mount wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • So far so good

Can-Am Outlander ATV

I like this bracket best, but it doesn't always fit. Not knowing how well this component would fit I also bought a RAM Brake/Clutch Reservoir Base Ram Mount Motorcycle Brake/Clutch Reservoir Base with a 1" ball and I'm glad that i did it This bracket did not fit my mirror next to the brake reservoir. Well, it technically fit, but there wasn't enough play to put the wrench on the nut to properly tighten it. On the non-reservoir side, the mount fits my transom mount perfectly. Now I have mountsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, it's ok

If I wanted used parts I would buy them on Instagram.

I don't know why I was only able to post a photo but it looks like it. Worn and used Check out the video I posted... I don't know what happened to the quality control piston mounts but this one came from the factory totally dented - paint chips, scratches and it's clearly someone's return. Well the product will work I will go ahead and make it beautiful as it goes on a beautiful Harley Davidson and I need it now! I have ramrods on everything from my Nab Station sailboat to all myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

As you can see in the photo this is brand new unopened packaging but it looks like there are nicks from the coating to attach it. It's not aesthetically pleasing, especially when I install it on a bike that's in perfect condition. It looks like the problem is with the RAM manufacturing and not with the seller's repackaging of used devices. Below is RAM Mount's response about the seller. "Thanks for photos. I'm sorry if the appearance of the sphere base didn't meet your expectations, but I would

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • expandable

The best way to install a RAM mount on a sport bike!

In my opinion this is the best way to mount your phone on a sport bike with a RAM mount. I've used a RAM plug stem mount before and it works well enough, but this one is better! Here's a nifty little comparison chart: This mount: $11.50 (current Revain price) Fully secure RAM phone mount base Mounts to top triple tree, clamps, or other locations on handlebars if available (should be 9mm or smaller be a screw). be at least 6 mm thick). Due to the mounting options, your phone can be easily setโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Clear
