Step One.

1 1/4" Cable Clamp from E-Bay 6.99 + $1.89 shipping. Yes my handlebars are 1.25 inches.



Aluminum plate that I had laying around (couple of bucks) with a bracket bent in the middle to form a bracket and a little Velcro.



Just a little clean up of the aluminum plate and Ready to ride with near unlimited tunes.

 

Nice job!!

 

Pretty good idea.

 

Great idea.

 

Not too bad!Good idea.

 

Looks good...what ipod is that? If it's an older one with an actual hard drive it'll be toast soon. I only say that because it looks like my 80 gb unit....the nano's and newer itouch's would be fine but the older units with hard drive cant handle the vibration.

 

I put my ipod on shuffle and put it in my chest pocket. Bose earbuds and I am all good. I loaded all the music and if I want to skip a tune I just tap my jacket. Not perfect but works for me.

 

The I-pod pictured is one of the hard drive models, but it is not the one I use while riding.

I actually you a Sansa while ride but the battery was dead and my chargers at work. So I used the I pod for testing and pictures.

I also have some rubber grommets at work I'm going to use to insulate the bolt mount to give it some shock mounting.

 

suggest you turn it 90º so as to be able to hit pause with thumb with hand on grip.

on my ipods, pause/play is the most used control ( tolls etc. ,anytime I need to mute quickly for a moment).

I have my old XM on my other bike so I could thumb all the controls without taking eyes from the road.
