3 Devices, 3 mounts, where to put them?? Ideas please
Quick survey for all. Need your input. I (will) have 3 devices to mount on my Ultra. I already have my Garmin 665 Zumo, and my iPhone. I will be adding a Powervision in the short term. Problem is I don't know where to mount the PV... Right now I have the Garmin on the HD fairing mount, but will be moving it to the handlebars via the HD mount off the clutch perch. On the other side I have the Riders Claw for my iPhone. I previously wasn't going to even put my phone on the handlebars, but because I use the Go Pro App, I want it there for ease of use. (that is the only thing I use the phone for. I don't answer the phone or text while riding) with the addition of the PV I'm at a quandary on where to put it. I know I don't need to keep the powervision connected but I want to have it mounted and in view for a variety of reasons). I cant use a fairing mount for any of the above because I will be adding the Hog Tunes Hog Pod and windshield bags next week.
No need to recommend the fuel door mount because I don't like it at all, and I think that as a mounting location for something you want to look at occasionally is just dumb from a safety standpoint.
If it helps the phone is the least used, but I need it close and easily accessible to the hand for a quick screen tap for on/off/mode selection when I need to fire up the go pro.
I also prefer a clean mount. Like the HD Garmin mount, or the riders claw. Not really a fan of cheesy handle bar clamps and the like.
A friend mentioned the Iron Aces mount, but I don't think I can make it work with the Hog Pod...
So gimme some Idea's folks....

If you have a smart phone (iPhone or Droid) theres an app you run on the phone which lets you control all of your Go Pro's functions via bluetooth connection with a quick tap on the screen. Easy to stop/start and change between video, photo etc.
Won't work with the Hog Pod...
Check out this pouch and mount for your Zumo. Would free up a handlebar.

For Me (& most others)
Gadget distractions are a big safety issue
Head down looking at them & DEATH may occur
your results may vary ...
Mount things closer to your DRIVING line of sight
jus sayin

I honestly appreciate the concern fellas, but enough with the flaming…I'm not going to feed trolls. I DID NOT ASK for recommendations on weather or not you think I should be using them. I ASKED for recommendations on where to mount on my handlebars or fairing. Let us continue on that path...

If you can't post a civil and helpful comment, then keep it to yourself. Flaming is not allowed on HD Forums

problem is the most options utilize the handle bar or the specific area the hogtunes tweeters mount to.
this would have been another option
