Review: Excellent mount, buy from Semsons & Co., Inc. to ensure you get the tether-read my comments below. - Bought this for my 98 electra glide. Works great so far. A couple of things: After reading reviews about not getting tether, I wanted to make sure whoever I got mine from included this. I saw Semsons & Co., Inc. had 100% feedback, so I called their customer service number and the woman I spoke with confirmed that they only sell original RAM products packaged by RAM with everything that is included. So I went ahead and ordered from them. I received my package on time and everything (including the tether) was included. So those reading the reviews I highly recommend Semson's to buy from so you don't have to worry about not getting everything. Next thing is the rubber feet. Many stated they fell off or that the included glue didn't work. I had some crazy glue so I used that. The feet are on there nice and solid and after crazy gluing, I feel they will stay in place. I didn't bother using the included glue. Just my suggestion. Next thing are the nylon bolts. Many said they were junk, painted poorly, etc. I think they are fine for what you get. Just be sure to use the proper socket to install them and be careful when putting them on. Mine came new (not used), they installed fine, and none of the paint came off. If I had a con for this mount, it is that like many stated, I had to also move my phone down slightly in the mount so that the upper right foot did not rest on the side buttons. When I first put it in, it rested right on my power button and my phone turned off. After moving it slightly it is now fine and the foot is no longer resting on any of the side buttons (MOTO E 2nd gen). I know that this may concern you seeing the phone isn't centered in the mount, but with the tether it was held in secure. I only got to use it on one ride so far (3hr ride), but it stayed in place and didn't move at all. The only other minor con is that RAM doesn't include any mounting/installation instructions, only a brochure for other products and a one page picture brochure explaining how to use the tether. It isn't rocket science to install it and common sense should be all that you need to figure it out, but for those that rely on instructions, they might not be pleased. Overall I am satisfied with this mount and would not hesitate to buy one in the future. Now I just need to figure out which beverage mount I want to get for the other side of the handlebars.
Review: A solid mount - I use this thing at least 4 times a week and I love it. It mounted to my handlebars on my bike easily and it lets me adjust my phone in almost infinite angles to get it where I need to see it as it records my routes and displays my pace. This is essentially 3 pieces of RAM mount gear in one package. The U-Bolt clamp is great for handlebars or even rearview mirrors. It may be useful on other things also but I’ve only used it on those 2 things. Make sure to tighten equally and don’t over tighten or you could risk crushing something. It is very sturdy though. The arm here is a mid-length arm that’s great for bikes. I have other lengths for other uses in cars and such. It’s a pretty sturdy couple pieces of metal essentially with an easy to turn plastic capped nut. It works great and doesn’t move even on rough terrain. The holder itself is sturdy and keeps my phone even on moderate off-road courses. I have my phone in a rubberized case so that helps with keeping it in place. The only times its fallen out were when I had the phone wrapped in a zip-lock bag as a poor man’s waterproofing, and when I had a major wipeout and got launched off of my bike. I got a waterproof case for rainy days and I try to avoid anything that will make me launch off the bike and through the air, and my phone stays solidly in place. The mount allows the phone to rotate slightly so if you don’t get it quite right when you tighten the arm you can adjust the phone if needed but it is firm and won’t flop around. I’m so happy with this that I’m ordering another for my wife’s bike and a U-bolt so that I can mount this easily onto my other bike. Once you have the RAM mount brackets installed in your car, bikes, motorcycles, or whatever you can easily move the arms and device mounts in seconds. I have RAM mounts to mount my phone, GoPro, GTech, and other devices in my vehicles and they have all served me well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect
*by M***R on November 23, 2025*

This is hands down the most perfect phone mount I have ever purchased. Easy to install on any bike you ride and will hold securely at highway (and faster) speeds multiple hours and days at a time. Great even on crappy Oklahoma roads or windy Arizona highways.
