Victory motorcycles are not beginner bikes when it comes to mounting gear. The vibration level alone eliminates a huge portion of cheap mounts immediately. If you are riding a Victory, you need something built for motorcycles, not something meant for bicycles or casual car use.
The older version of this article broke mounts into pieces. That is not how most people actually buy them anymore. The better move is to recommend complete systems that are ready to install, proven to work, and currently available.
This updated guide focuses on real, in-stock mounts that work on Victory motorcycles, starting with complete RAM kits and then moving into modern alternatives.
Victory Motorcycle Mounting Analysis
Victory motorcycles are straightforward in one way: the handlebar is your primary mounting point. Most Victory handlebars fall into the 1 inch to 1.25 inch range, which works perfectly with clamp-style mounts.
The second key mounting point is the mirror mount. Many Victory models use an M10 1.25 threaded mirror hole. If that hole is available, it gives you a clean mounting position that does not take up handlebar space.
The real challenge is vibration. Victory bikes transmit more vibration than most cars and even many motorcycles. That means the mount must be rigid, metal where it counts, and properly secured.
Best mounting locations:
- Handlebar: Primary and most stable option
- Mirror mount (M10 1.25): Clean alternative on compatible models
What to avoid:
- Cheap plastic mounts: They crack or loosen quickly
- Bicycle mounts: Not designed for motorcycle vibration
- Weak clamp systems: Can rotate under load
Best Mounts for Victory Motorcycles
1. RAM Mounts RAM-B-149Z-UN7 Handlebar Mount Kit – Best Overall
This is the mount most Victory riders should start with. The RAM-B-149Z-UN7 is a complete kit, not a collection of parts. It includes the handlebar U-bolt base, double socket arm, and the X-Grip phone cradle.
That matters because everything is designed to work together. You do not have to guess which arm fits which ball or whether the cradle will hold your phone properly. It is all in one package.
The X-Grip cradle works with a wide range of phones and cases, and the included rubber tether adds an extra layer of security for highway riding. The metal construction and RAM design handle vibration far better than cheaper mounts.
2. RAM Mounts RAM-B-149Z-UN10 – Best for Larger Phones
If you are running a larger phone like a Pro Max or a device in a heavy case, the UN10 version is worth considering. It uses a larger X-Grip cradle designed for bigger devices.
The rest of the system is the same as the prior kit, so you still get the same handlebar base and arm.
3. RAM Mounts M10 Mirror Mount Adapter – Best Clean Install Option
If your Victory has an available mirror mount hole, this is one of the cleanest setups you can build. The RAM M10 ball threads directly into the mirror hole and gives you the same ball-and-arm system without using the handlebar. Just add this part to the RAM-X-Grip with arm kit.
This setup keeps the cockpit cleaner and can position the phone slightly higher depending on the bike.
4. Quad Lock Motorcycle Handlebar Mount – Best Modern Alternative
Quad Lock is the main alternative to RAM for motorcycle phone mounting. Instead of a cradle, it uses a locking system with a compatible phone case.
The advantage is speed and simplicity. The phone locks in place quickly and does not require clamps or arms. The downside is that you need the correct case or adapter.
This is a strong option if you prefer a cleaner look and already use Quad Lock on other bikes.
Keep in mind that a custom case is used with Quad Lock but these are great mounts. Read our Quad Lock overview for more information.
5. BRCOVAN Aluminum Motorcycle Phone Mount – Best Non-RAM Budget Option
If you want something less expensive but still built for motorcycles, BRCOVAN is one of the few brands doing it right. This mount uses an aluminum body instead of cheap plastic and includes a vibration-resistant clamp.
It is not as flexible as RAM or as clean as Quad Lock, but it is a solid budget option that actually holds up under riding conditions.
Common Mounting Problems on Victory Motorcycles
- Using cheap mounts: They fail quickly under vibration
- No secondary retention: Always use a tether or locking system
- Poor positioning: Avoid blocking gauges
- Loose hardware: Always tighten properly and check regularly
Installation Tips
- Use thread locker on bolts for long-term stability
- Check handlebar diameter before installing
- Position mount for visibility without blocking instruments
- Re-check mount tightness after the first few rides

Bottom Line
If you want the most reliable setup for a Victory motorcycle, go with avRAM X-Grip kit. It is the easiest way to get a complete, proven system that handles vibration.
If you want something more modern, Quad Lock is the best alternative.
Either way, skip the cheap mounts. They are not built for this kind of bike.
