Where/how to mount a cel phone?

Post by Bobf »

Hello all; Any suggestions on where, and how to mount a cel phone?
The style of handle bars leaves me with a question mark for a mount.
I want to use my phone mostly for the mapping features.

I have a 2011 RT.  I replaced one of the screws that holds the handlebars on with a Ram Ball.  I use the large Ram mount.  To hold the phone I use the Perfect Squeeze from Hondo Garage.  I still use a leash 'just in case,' but so far the phone hasn't moved.  I'm very happy with this setup.

I just picked up a new 2017 and need a mount for my phone... i like the idea of replacing one of the screws that holds the handlebars... do you have a link or know what size Ram ball screw you used?

This is what I finally bought. Not installed yet, but I'm very sure it will do the job.

I find the mount Migsel has for the RT"s.
Looks cool, yet may be a bit pricey!
Just a suggestion!

I spoke too soon, the screws for this mount don't fit my LC,  stock screws are too short too.
