cell phone holders for bikes
#21
I'm using the kuryakyn fuel door and the HD universal pinch mount (although I found it somewhere else for cheaper). Combine the two and I've used it for long distance trips (gps, bluetooth, etc) as well as just small rides around town.

I went with the Ram mount also. My bike is older, so it was hard to find what other people had done...but I took a shot and it seemed to work out!
To mount the mount (lol), I went with:
and
I bolted the ball on the mirror stud from the bottom.
For what it's worth, again, my bike being older, I don't have all the extras of modern stereos. .I tried several bluetooth adapters and didn't have a lot of luck. I finally bought this item, a bluetooth/FM transmitter. I am thrilled with how well it works and has excellent sound quality. I like that you can skip through tracks by pressing left or right on the face, almost as good as a handlebar mounted remote. It does accept micro SD and USB drives also. Plus, it shows voltage output
So, for about $60, my Evo Ultra has bluetooth

I have used many RAM mounts over the years and like their products, but I have to vote strongly for the Klok Werks IO. It looks good when the phone is on it, and even better when the phone is off of it. No big plastic “X” or clamp, or anything. Easy to swivel to the exact position wanted, holds no matter what, looks like it is part of the bike, not an add-on. Warning, if you use an iPhone X or other wireless charging phone, do what I do and use a plastic case for the phone to attach the stainless steel disc, and use it on trips. Use no case or a different case for normal day to day, as the disc will interfere with charging wirelessly. No problem whatsoever on normal cord charging.

On the Ram X mount, make sure you glue the rubber pads onto the mount with the included super glue. Otherwise those rubber pads can slip off which is probably how phones come off the mount. Also the "tether" (basically a big square rubber band) should always be attached to the phone when mounted. Only takes a few seconds to loop it over each corner and the phone is rock solid after that. The mirror stalk mounted ball is what I use (can also be mounted with a bolt and nut through the mirror hole) along with a coiled power cord wrapped once around the bars.
