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.
Thanks Brian. Just finished RAM mount install on my 18 FJR. I went with the Shad 45 L top case. Think I might go with the Corbin seat as everyone says it gets you an inch closer to the ground. At 5' 10" I can flat foot it with my Vibrum sole boots and heels, with flat soles I'm on my toes.
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.
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.
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 🙂
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.
how do you run a power supply to your phone via usb?
Light Kits/Fog lights – have you done a video of how & where to mount on the FJR?
Tnx 🙂

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

Which anti seize did you use? There are so many to choose from?
It's RAM-B-345 part #?

Great
Thanks mate. I ride an FJR; after seeing your video I ordered the kit. $110 is Australian Pesos but still worth it!
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.
Did you do a video on the install of the USB adaptor (to power the phone)? I didn't see it on your channel.
