I've used a universal mount for a GPS about a year ago. Worked great. Get it set where you want and put a dab of super glue on the joints if you want to keep it on your bike.
Thanks for the tip

Ram are great products, use locktite on the bolts and you are good to go!

I did this. It is cleaner. Part of the appeal of the ram mount is that the ball system gives you to opportunity to move them around and take it completely off when you want to. So unless you are sure you want to make it permanent, I would stay away from super glue. I have been using ram mounts for about 20 years on several different motorcycles for several different devices with no issues. Take a look at the waterproof cases also.

I have two, one for a Garmin Summit gps and one for my iphone4. The iphone4 mount has a water proof hard case with a soft touch membrane over the phone. Problems are you have to remove protective film off your screen if you have one and the touch screen doesn't work well with gloves lmao. It does offer the options to run headphones and charger cable plus other options.
I may sell my iphone (any touch screen phone) case and get the case for my other, touch screen, gps. Can't get one unless other is sold though. They are pricy. Just case and assembly ran me $90 shipped.

Anyone else have one of these Ram mounts?
:zombie: Thread revival from 5 years ago deserves the zombie, LOL.
I have the ram mount mounted via the yoke nut (I have clipons). The yoke nut is removed and the yoke nut mount screws on in it's place. I have the x-grip (ram mount) holder for my phone.
Thanks for the reply!
I've given this some thought this afternoon and decided to go with the handlebar clamp base mount https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005J43I56/ref=ya_st_dp_summary
I also went with the oversized x grip mount (iPhone 6+), with the textel webbing restraint (I think all the new x grips come with it).
I really like the discreteness of the mount when it's not being used, and the versatility.
Thanks again for the reply, they seem a bit hard to come by recently.
No problem. I had a handlebar mount a few years ago until I went with the woodcraft clipons. Love the X grip. Used it for my Note 3, S4 and now S7.

io have the handlebar ball mount
only neg is depending on what angle you keep your phone low speed turning like in a gas station turning to a different pump it sometimes bumps the windscreen if I have it up I will get some pics in the next couple of days to show you what I mean.
