i got this http://www.tandtfabrications.com/ and really like it because of its placement. i had a handlebar mount but i found it did take my eyes off the road a little too much. this way, its in my line of sight. pouches aren't quite as good as the harley 3 bagger but they serve their purpose.

Not an option. I have 10" bagger bars. Plus I have the split vision mirrors which are great cause they widen your field of view greatly. Wouldn't give them up.

Quick question, Why not use your phone? I have my Droid on a Ram mount, and It serves the purpose of all your gadgets. Just curious. I recorded a run 3 wks ago almost 6 gigs of recording it did a great job, except for bumps.

You may think it is fugly, but if you are hellbent on having three devices docked on your bike then I would think the eglide goodies gadget bar would do the trick- that way they are all in line of sight.
I use the Ram mount system with an X claw to hold my iPhone- for iTunes and GPS.

Monty, I double checked the name - the Ram mount X Grip.
I have used this same set up for several years both on my RK and now on my Limited. I have my iPhone in an Otter case and when it is in the X it does not budge! It has held my iPod with no case and it too held firmly. The ram mount setup allows for limitless positioning of your device.
It looks like it will securely hold a device that is 3/4" in thickness.

Very unusual post by a LEO, either active, retired, or former motor officer--he has a POSE. My constructive suggestion is to ditch the HT Hogpod. There are better fairing speakers that negate the need for the Hogpod.
Running three visual devices at the same time confuses me. If you are doing a tuning run, do that. If you are doing a video, still, etc. photo run, do that. If you don't know where you are going, rely on the GPS.
Motor officers are among the top tier of riders and I respect their skills. But, I would not want the OP near me while riding if he's trying to pay attention to that much stuff on his bike. If you aren't going to use it, take it off the bike.

Of all the people who should know better... I assume YOU will also be mounting a large cup holder/radio-scanner/EFI monitor/etc... FYI, COULD also affect your steering... Anyway, YOU should carefully check your 'fall-away' before and again after you get all those distractions mounted... Geeze man...
