• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Help with a phone mount please - can I simply get a longer bolt?

So I bought this tackform phone mount for my F3L
https://www.tackform.com/products/phone-mount-for-can-am-spyder-tackform

The bolt that came with it is too short. And using the OEM bolt is also too short. But barely.

I attached two pics of my handlebars. So is it possible to go out and simply get a bolt that is slightly longer than will work with my handlebars?

I am totally at a loss here.

Call Motorcycle Dave at (209) 887-3283 or take your bolt to Ace Hardware and get a longer one.
 
Have you entertained contacting whoever you bought it from and asking them to send you the correct bolt? Might be easier than trying to find the correct one on your own.
 
As I recall, Lamonster offers a pair of longer bolts as an "accessory" for his handlebar riser. I installed the riser on my wife's Sea to Sky and added the longer bolts because she has a center-mount GPS bracket. It's one source at least if others fail.

I just took the original bolt to the hardware store and got one with the correct threads but longer. Mounted a RAM ball there for my GPS.
