I switched from the stock bars to wild one cubbies on my 2015 street glide. My ram phone mount will not fit on the new bars due to the thickness of the wild one cubbies. Ive been searching for a larger u-bolt that will fit the cubbies. Any suggestions and starting point?
The Ram mounts come with u-bolts for both 1" and 1-1/4" bars. I have a few extra u-bolts for 1-1/4" laying around. PM me your address and I will mail one out to you...
I usually mount my camera to my helmet, but there are times when I want to get different shots, especially when riding in the mountains. I've used this Pedco camera mount on all three of my bikes in various locations from the handlebars, crash bars and passenger foot pegs. It'll clamp to anything and they're rubber coated so they wont mark or scratch any surface that its mounted to. Its all metal (aircraft aluminum), so once clamped in place, it doesn't flex or bend, it stays put. I use the taller one, but they also make it in a lower profile (pic below). It uses a standard 1/4 x 20 camera thread, which fits my JVC action cam. I think the GoPro has its own proprietary mount system which eliminates the use of a lot of good mount systems out there, unless you use an available adapter.
I use one that bolts to the mirror mount, like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bike-Motorc...item3410e8a593
It holds my phone so steady I can take video with the phone and it looks as good or better than a GoPro, with a slight bit of shaking!! Plus, it has a USB port to keep the phone charged while riding.
