Phone Holder Recommendations
 
After a tried, tested & approved (by you guys) SV compatible phone holder for my 2001 curvy.

What do you guys recommend?

I pop mine in the pocket of my Givi tank bag.

Hi, thanks.

It's so I can use my phone as a sat nav

Cheers

Earphones? Helps keep your eyes on the road too.

Yes and that too. Don't want to get tempted to blast the tunes though!

Still no ideas yet?

I blast the tunes and, like others, have the phone in my bag. I use a Bluetooth receiver to plug my earphones in and control volume. The Bluetooth receiver is attached to the yoke using the 3m lock tape (like velvro but stronger and more reusable).

It depends on your phone type. I have an IPhone and on 3 different bike have used a Tigra Phone case with a RAM 1" mount, they do them for different phones too. I usually have it central to my handle bars (to use as a satnav) but you can mount them almost anywhere.

I do have a spare fuel tank mount and one for mounting to somewhere like a mirror arm. if you're interested?

If you're phone is waterproof try Quad-lock, I know its designed for cycling, but it's strong, I can lift up 10kg of bicycle with it. I also use it as a mount on the Street.

It's not cheap but a brilliant little bit of kit...

Yeah, I have a pair of ultimate ears custom moulded earplugs that have lil' speakers in them I connect the jack to the phone and use google maps all the time. I can even use the touch screen through the clear pocket if needed (stopping to do that is recommended!). If its a long trip I turn the screen off as it is the screen that takes the big power on my phone.

HTH.

For long journeys I'd suggest getting something like the Ultimate Addons phone charger system. Hook up to the bikes battery, has an in line fuse, big on/off button and the ends are interchangeable so you can hook up micro USB, iPhone satnav etc. Easy to install too


Ride safe
