Works like a charm!
My Audace has Bluetooth which interfaces with the Moto Guzzi iPhone app to display various pieces of information about my bike. The Audace, like most cruisers, doesn't come from the factory with a phone mount. I went to a local motorcycle accessory store (sorry Revzilla, I needed it immediately...or so I thought) and they had a kit that included a Ram Mount X-Grip to hold the phone and a fork stem mount. The fork stem mount seems to work but I'm not 100% certain that it won't start moving around a little. Worse, the drag bars on my bike limit the adjustment so when the sun starts glaring off the screen it is difficult to quickly move the phone without stopping the bike.

Revzilla to the rescue! I ordered the U-Bolt base and installed it on my handlebars near the left grip. It mounts securely without any wiggling or wobbling. Even better, it allows the X-Grip to be clear of the bike so I can adjust the position of my phone all I want.

I subtracted a star because I consider it a bit pricey for a u-bolt, 2 screws, and 2 nuts. However, that is typical for Ram Mount items in general and at least the quality is there. It does come with a couple of black rubber caps to put over the end of the bolts/nuts but I'm pretty sure it won't be long until they fly off (which is no big deal, I don't think it looks bad without them). My only suggestion for potential owners is that you'd do well to invest in some Plasti Dip and rubberize the u-bolt where it makes contact with the handlebars. I haven't gotten around to it yet and my bars haven't been scratched but it's not worth the risk of marring the finish.

If this is a solution for your mounting problem then you can't go wrong with the Ram Mount U-Bolt Base.

If you ride and have a cell phone, you need this product. I have this in combination with the short arm and x-holder. It's secure and never moves. It's a must have. Now for a Bluetooth lol

This item mounts to handle bars easily and when properly tightened provides a stable platform for all RAM mount items.

Works as intended
This RAM mount does exactly what I want it to do (attach my phone to my handle bars) but I wish the U part was rubber coated as opposed to painted metal. It will scratch your handle bars if you don't put tape on them first. Minor gripe.

Great concept and system, quality not perfect
I purchased the u-bolt base, short arm, and large phone X-Grip to mount my iPhone 6S plus in a Mophie battery case to the handlebars of my BMW R Nine T Pure. My chief complaint is about the quality of the u-bolt base. The base comes with two sizes of u-bolt. I used the larger one to mount the RAM system to the 1-1/8 section of the handlebars next to the riser. The base really should come with a thin rubber sheet to allow for better grip. I had a thin neoprene sheet that I cut to surround the handlebar. Worse yet was the fact that the slots in the base were too narrow to allow the base to skip over the u-bolt. I had to get out a narrow file to enlarge the slots. After all was said and done, the system is fine and secure but I think RAM could pay attention to their quality a bit better.

RAM Mount should be the only brand you use!
I have seen too many falling phones with non Ram Mount phone and GPS mounts and will never use anything other than RAM on my bikes. Easy to install and multiple options for swing arms allowing you to customize where you put your phone. Simple system but strong and when installed correctly, won't budge!

Will this mount work on a 2000 Electra glide?

BEST ANSWER: measure your handlebar diameter with a soft tape measure and check the clamp diameter with Ram Mounts.
Will this fit the Garmin Nuvi 200 mount?

What motorcycle mount is best for 1.25 bars with a garmin 2699 6" screen?

BEST ANSWER: I use the U bolt for all my bikes (even for my microlight airplane). You can always bend the U bolt open if the bar is slightly too big.
