I've been using the Roam mount which is similar to the Ram. So far, so good. I like it.

Sold on Amazon and even cheaper on eBay in different colors.

That looks amazing. Can you share any details on how your went about doing the custom mount? I'd love to do something like that on my bobber softail project.

Dave at DD Custom Cycles in Illinois made it. I searched all over the internet for a mount solution for my phone, to be able to see navigation and music playing on my phone. When I went from a street glide to a RK I didn’t want to give up some of the fairing features. I called Dave explained what I wanted and he came up with the design and fully manufactured it. Made the mount into the handlebar riser cap.

Here are are a few pictures he sent me as he was working on it

I'll add my vote for the ram mount. I have clutch and break mounts on both my HD bikes. one for the phone and the other for drinks. Wish the cup holder was a better design.
I'm thinking of getting a couple of the ball mounts that bolt/screw down and bolting them between the spedo and tach on top. I think this would b\give a better center presentation when using the GPS function on the phone.

Ram Mount for me when on a long ride and feeling some music on the Road King......otherwise when I'm on the old FatBoy the phone is in the pocket. With that said.....if I ever wanted to put it on the Fatboy it would literally take less than 30 seconds to do so the flexibility is nice.

Save your money and put it in a pocket. There is no purpose of having a handlebar mount cell phone holder. They are a safety hazard for bikers. My bike has bluetooth so i don't need a cell phone mount or do i need to even see my GPS on my 6.5 Boombox to navigate efficiently . Audio is awesome and your cell phone won't even be able to be heard at speed without some sort of bluetooth set up. Just saying.

(Not looking to start a war...)

I did what Wildon suggested on a trip from Texas back home and just used the voice prompts from the nav, with my headset (wired) and it worked great, until the phone died. Apparently, running the GPS/Nav options sucks the battery down! After that, I opted for the RAM, so I could do a quick look at the directions and still have it plugged into the bike. Whatever works for you! Good points though on the 'distracted riding' thing.
