Default IPOD Mounting Position

For those of you who utilize an IPOD while riding where do you mount it? I've seen the various RAM mounts for the handlebars, tank pouch etc…

I refuse to spend $400 for the Harley IPOD interface. I can buy way too much "safety chrome" for that $400…

I put some industrial velcro on the plastic housing around the bar mounts and it holds just fine. Cheap and simple.

i went with the riders claw chrome ipod holder. i didnt have it yet in my pic but it installs on the two screws on the housing by the hi/lo beam switch on your left hand. very handy to ff or switch playlists and still maintain throttle. www.ridersclaw.com

I use the clip on the case and hook it to my idle cable. Haven't had any problems.

I have my ipod touch in a cheapo clear front holster clipped to my fairing pouch. That way if i am using the map or directions, the screen is in my line of sight with out taking eyes off the road.

I tried more expensive mounts first, and I test rode a cvo with the ipod in saddlebag.
Had to take eyes off of road too much to operate the darn thing.

I also use the Rider's Claw, but I mounted it on the right hand side. Works great!

This is what I'm using...

I actually have the new Ipod Nano Gen 6 that I just have industrial strengh vel-cro on the back of my Ipod and on the mounting surface of the arm... never had a problem with it and it is in the perfect location to change the song or whatever... here is a pic of it mounted on my bike. The only reason I have it on the throttle side is because my GPS is mounted on the clutch side.
