Al Z. Heimer Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 X-Grip works very well. Never had issues. Use it for iPhone and sattlite radio . I also have that stem mount on the Super Hawk. Some issues. The cone piece needs cut to fit the hole in stem which is not a problem. My issue was that it was more like plastic than rubber and does not want to stay tight. The little screw is not strong enough to compress it as it should. One day I'll find a softer rubber plug and repair that issue. Maybe they have changed that or I just got a bad one. I would buy it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Hit your link, only one left. I bought it, cuz. I have used one on two bikes. So 85k miles...its been flawless. Easy to use and rock solid. But as I said, I just bought the last one so the point is moot. Edit. Mine is a clamp mount. Cant speak to the stem mount. Yet.

alansz400 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Don't use its on rough roads and grip glue the rubber tips on. Kyle had his phone fall out on the highway but was lucky enough to catch it after it hit the gas tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Picked up one before gap trip (large X-Grip), held my big ass phone no problemo. I don't have the stem mount though, I got the adjustable wing nut clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Stem mounts are the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Been using x grip for a long time, even had the bigger one once to mount small tablet, never had any issue. Stem mount like jerry said kinda feels less solid, not like it will come off or anything, just might nag you with it rotating a bit over time etc. moved mine to fixed ram mount and it's perfect.

mango_sv Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Get a X-Grip Tether. Makes everything better and more secure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 The tethers come with the x-grip now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I've had my xgrip on my last two bikes. Never had a phone move. Worth every penny IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I went ahead and ordered it. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_sv Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 The tethers come with the x-grip now. Hmm... didn't get one with the one I ordered last month. But they are a great investment. I've had my phone jump out twice - once in the rain when I hit a large bump on the interstate, and once landing a wheelie a little hard.

2talltim Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yup going on 20k miles with mine and its never slipped a bit. But 1+ on gluing the rubber feet on just a dot will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I know @Connie14 has one and loves it... I just ordered this one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggAudi Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Have one with a small clamp. Holds solid. I don't use the tether and it does not appear to move at all. Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphy Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Never had a problem with LifeActive. Some may not like adding pad to their case, but I don't mind. Have one for both my bike and the wifes bike, as well as my Jeep. I like how discreet it is when not in use. https://www.amazon.com/Lifeproof-LifeActiv-Bike-Mount-Quickmount/dp/B00UIF2GW2/ref=pd_sim_107_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=318KNtTv9sL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=NXP5XJSVDD3HHZD3ZVMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 That tether looks like a pain in the ass. I don't have one and never seen a need for one. Mine is a GS5 in a otterbox defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I watched a video of a guy go through a motorcross track on a dirtbike and the phone never moved. I bought one after that. No complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm using the X-Grip with Handlebar mount - Works great, comes with the tether, but I rarely use it. I did very slightly bend the prongs to it so the ends would be more on my phone with the case on it. Never had an issue, don't really offroad with it, but I definitely took it up well into the 140+ mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I really should learn to READ - I don't have a hole in my stem on my new bike. So - Had to cancel... I will need to pick up the handlebar mounted one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) This is the mount I have, I have one on both sides. one for my phone and the other side is a cup holder for long trips. https://www.amazon.com/Ram-Mount-Motorcycle-Clutch-Reservoir/dp/B0012TT8BK/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1466188791&sr=1-1&keywords=ram+mount+clutch Edited June 17, 2016 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
