STEEL U-BOLT MOTORCYCLE MOUNT BASE RAM-B-231U PRODUCT DETAILS

 Back to Top
 
The RAM-B-231 RAM Mount Powder Coated Marine Grade Aluminum Rail Base has a 1.0 inch diameter Rubber Ball designed to sit at right angles to the motorcycle handle bar or the mounting pole. The Stainless Steel U-Bolt and nuts included will fit a circular post or handlebar with diameter from 3/4 to 7/8 inches.

To mount the u-bolt base, place the top of the base on the handlebar or pole and then slide the u-bolt around the underside of the pole, threading the ends into the holes in the base top. Now tighten the screws onto the u-bolt until the base is clamped firmly. If you desire, you can now slot the included black plastic covers over the exposed ends of the u-bolt.

For a larger rail, you can purchase the RAM-B-231LSS Large Rail Base for circular rails with diameter from 3/4 to 1 1/8 inches.

Note: This base is completely rust proof.

RAM MOUNT STEEL U-BOLT MOTORCYCLE MOUNT BASE RAM-B

Pros: simple, strong, inexpensive
Cons: can't think of anything to improve it.
Excellent compliment to RAM mount. Using this one on my quad & thought I'd move it to my mountain bike, but for the low price I think I'll just get another one. Very easy to attach and remove mount to the ball. Excellent system.

SEEMS SOLID

Pros: thread caps are a good idea
Cons: needs more thread or spacers
I mounted this on my snowmobile. The machine handlebar was too small for the mount so I had to cut off about 8mm of thread so that the attachment would swivel properly. Not Ram's fault but it would be nice it they threaded the steel a bit further. Due to lack of snow haven't had many opportunities to try it's ruggedness. Time will tell if it stands up to our Canadian prairie winters. Other products are interchangeable with each other so you can mix and match like I did.

WAS MISSING THE RUBBER SCREW CAPS

Cons: missing rubber bolt end caps as pictured
all it is, is a ubolt and a ball mounted to a formed piece of metal.. not much to it.. it works just as it should.. however mine was missing the covers that go over the sharp ends of the screws.. I emailed RAM and they were supposed to be sending them.. but almost a month later I still have not seen them.. It still functions fine.. but looks unfinished and the edges are sharp. plus the elements have more exposure to the end of the metal.

STAINLESS STEEL MOTORCYCLE U-BOLT BASE WITH 1INCH

Pros: solid, little to no vibration on the gps
Cons: rubber caps for screw ends could be tighter
Very solid on the bike, GPS reads easily as there is minimal vibration. Easy to mount and adjust to ideal location. One minor issue is that rubber caps for screw ends could be tighter, used silicone to make sure they stayed on.

STAINLESS STEEL MOTORCYCLE U-BOLT BASE WITH 1INCH

Pros: holds well
Cons: neck between base and ball could be ¼ to ½" longer
I used the U-Bolt Base with out the "U" bolt,the holes lined up with two screws holding the front of my tank on (VFR 08).It fits well to the tank and allows the system to hold to the ball. I got some longer screws Also it was nervously close to the tank so I ground some metal off the clamp that was attached to the ball. I think adding a ¼" to the neck of the ball base would be a better choice.

WORKS WELL

Added a piece of old tire to the curved part of the u bolt to take up space and for extra grip. Had on a DR650 with 5" arm to hold my Rino 130 and it never moved.
