Coupling nut, std nut and threaded rod were from local Ace hardware. Wish I could find a black coupling nut

Re: Handlebar ram ball mount
Are the bolt lengths the same for the RT?

Don't know. The ST has a deep recess in the handlebar and a long threaded bolt. I cut the threaded rod length to match the bolt length I needed. I also needed the coupling nut to mate the male threaded ram ball and threaded rod. The coupling nut gave me enough height to raise the ball up above the handlebar

I tried to do this, but the coupling nut and jam nut felt like they are too wide to fit flush with the handlebar. It seemed to lack about 1/8 of an inch of meeting. I was worried that forcing it down in there might damage the handlebars. In short I gave up and ordered theses: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/moun...-spyder-black/. I'll let you know how good a product they are when I get them installed.

Grind down the coupler nut or sleeve at the bottom into a conical shape. That's what I did. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...unt-for-the-RT

The coupling nut from Ace Hardware fit no problem

Well the actual mount is a very quality piece. Unfortunately, it does not fit the ST like their webpage says. I'm waiting on a return phone call from them to see if they will do anything. They called me back and said they had just realized that their mount would not work with the 2013 ST handlebars. They said they are waiting on the local BRP dealer in Minnesota to uncrate the 2013 models so they can measure it to supply spacers and longer bolts to anyone that had bought the mount already. Sounds like they are going to take care of everybody.
