Default I bet no one has thought of this phone holder

So I've got a cradle for a Galaxy S3 that was mounted to my Super Glide but I'm getting rid of the bike and the cradle won't fit on my Street Glide because of the angles. I decided to take that cradle and mount it to the middle windshield T-Bag with black pop rivets that I had laying around. The view angle is perfect and the phone doesn't move because the T-bag closure is velcro. You can get these handlebar mount cradles off eBay for just a few buck that are specific to your phone. Now I just have to route my audio cord and micro usb charger cord through the fairing and behind the bags. I can tuck them away in the bags when not in use. Didn't cost me a dime because I had everything I needed.

mine is in a clear front holster- in same position, clipped to the tbag

I can see it and the road at the same time.

It can't fall out since it's clipped in. You have to push back the top tab pretty hard to release it. Trust me, it isn't going anywhere.

Looks like an in flight movie screen. Good idea since i doubt that fits in the compartment.

I get a good chuckle when someone actually thinks they have a genuinely unique idea, then someone else posts with the same exact thing LOL!!!

I would imagine you get some vibration from this setup though?
