Mounting A Phone To Your Motorcycle With RAM Mounts

Installation video of a RAM Mounts phone mount on a Yamaha MT-07.
Parts used:
RAM-B-231ZU (www.hurtlegear....)
RAM-B-201U-A (www.hurtlegear....)
RAM-HOL-UN7BU (www.hurtlegear....)
Also you can get a kit with all three parts (RAM-B-149Z-UN7U - www.hurtlegear....) but it has a medium socket arm instead of a short one.

I'm finding that folks that mount horizontally that the tether is especially helpful in more securely holding the phone as it wraps around the corners of the device. Something that was brought up was, that when you hit a bump, there's a chance of the spring jaws opening up just enough to make it easier for the phone to slip out. I suggest the use of the tether no matter what position.

Thanks for the feedback! We've sold hundreds (thousands maybe?) of the X-Grips and never heard of a phone coming out but we agree with you, better to be safe than sorry and use the tether if in any doubt

I use mine to hold my spare hand

once the phone is installed, what makes the phone not pivot back and forth?

[@hurtlegearau]

Hey Mike, although you can pivot the holder left and right a little with your hand, it doesn't move at all when riding, the spring mechanism and tension keeps it in place. Cheers

How do you keep the phone from rotating a few degrees while on the x grip mount?
I've installed the mount, and when the phone is in there is a good half inch of play where the phone will go from vertical to slightly askew in one direction.
Is there a lock that I'm missing?

[@hurtlegearau]

Hey Bryan, due to the design of the X-Grip, there may be some play/movement left over if you have a thinner phone. But it shouldn't move on it's own, only if you force it. If you're finding the phone is moving on it's own then that isn't right, and you should contact the retailer you bought it off for further assistance.

Mine does too. It'll swivel 45 degrees on its own. Makes it almost unusable. The other one in the shop does too, so it's a design fault.
