Will the u-bolt scratch my handle bar?

It's possible. The U bolt fit my bars tightly, the threads were snug against bar. I made sure it was where I wanted it before pushing it into place. My handle bars are painted black, I'm pretty sure if I remove the mount the paint will be scratched where the threads went past the bar. I thought about trying to spread the U bolt a little but didn't have an easy way to do it without messing up the black coating on it.

I would suggest you put a wrap or two or electrical tape then attach. "Rescue" tape is another option if you don't want sticky tape on your handle bar.

I use it on my bike (Cannondale T800) which has drop handlebars. It's a bit of a squeeze and it does bump the cables when I take it on and off, but it works for me.

Actually, I swapped out a set of mountain bike handlebars for this unit. To answer your question, if the stem of the gooseneck is fully inserted into the frame column, it probably won't be an issue. Because I wanted a higher profile, I raised my gooseneck an inch or two - which made the right brake cable a bit tight on right turns. To compensate, I made a quick fix by taking my finger and just looping the brake cable to the right side of the gooseneck. The other shift and left brake cables didn't require any compensation at all - worked just fine.

Hmm, what kind of bike and most importantly, handlebar, do you have? I have no problems at all mounting it on mine using one of the provided rubber rings. You should find images or videos about it using google.

No. You'll have put the handlebars, brakes, etc together. I ended up taking it to sports authority and the finished it for me, although I'm not that handy.

It also rubs on my Honda Rincon ' s bumper. I have been using it this way without issue and I am not overall concerned. Seem to be built pretty well. You can also call Warn. They are very helpful when I have called.

My RAM mnt u bolt came with a black anodized coating on it. I attached one to the handle bars on my ATV and one to my front utility rack. These work great and don't rust! I drive thru all weather conditions and this things still looks new. It holds super tight. Just torque down the u-bolt really snug and it won't budge. I use mine to hold my gopro, gps, or smart phone RAM case.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.

The attachment ring is quite flexile, should easily slip over the handlebars. Remove some of the rubber inserts if its too narrow.

At first no. But that was because the bolts were put in the correct way. I fixed that and then yes, it's smooth. This is not something for someone who is very active. This is more for those who can't get on a bike but want to strengthen their legs and arms.

I forgot to mention that I did purchase a separate handlebar mount called "QuickClick". This mount is a screw on system that allowed me to remove it

I noticed that too and that's the reason I don't use it. Everytime I pump a shell in it, the screw would scrape my bolt. I'd rather a have no mount then a messed up bolt

hm... I don't have that problem. It seems like you have a bigger handle bar? I'd bring a screw to a local hardware store and look for a same size but longer ones. Good luck.

Not at all. It fits tight around the trigger housing by compression, so it has no ability to scratch.

The mounting is accomplished with a plate on the bottom that is shaped to work well with square bars. It does not have a 'standard u-bolt' though you may be able to find a size that would kind of fit. I wouldn't suggest the mounting method used on this product for round cross bars.

Yes but I used my own bolts from harley.my harley is 2013 superlow this doesn't fit properly I have to flattened the lower part to be able to use the bolt.so I cracked the chrome but it's serving the purpose.not for decoration or show off though.it's probably not worth returning it co'z of the shipping charge.

yes, you can loosen the bolt to place the handle bars where you would like them
