Default RAM mount with 9mm hole and 1" ball

Got me one of those RAM mounts for my iPhone 6 Plus bc my phone was taking a beating in the saddle bags. I was going to mount it on my bars initially but right away noticed it was going to mark the bars up so ordered this little ball mount RAM-B-272U that I placed under my mirror and really liked the end result. Thought I'd share.



Where the mount ended up after install

What is that ball mounted to? I have the one that mounts to your grip/controls and replaces your torques head screws with their hex head ones.

Any bolt you want I suppose but bc I have mirrors I used the bolt that holds my mirror and ran the bolt through that hole.

How secure is the iPhone 6Plus in that? I have the same model phone and am looking for a mount for it but want to be sure it will be snug and not fall out. Do you have the part number for the phone mount as well? Thanks in advance.

i have 12" bars and the RAM mount tether which keeps it pretty darn snug and with the bars I have no issues turning my bars full turn. I haven't had any issues in the past couple days riding with it and I live in an area where the roads are pretty crappy.

If you have stock bars you need to use something like this. I have a short one section clamp coming to try to eliminate the joint, but it still works pretty good!
