Looking to get a IPhone 14 Pro. Plan to mount ot as my GPS.

Apple support warns Against this

for those doing this - your thoughts

 

Hard to say but I have a buddy whose iPhone got all jacked up….we think due to using it on his handlebars. I’d search for a mount that protects it from vibration if I were you.

 

I’d get a cheap big screen Garmin with lifetime maps

 

If you ride one of them high powered assault motorsickles, a lot of phone mount companies will sell you a "vibration dampener" supposed to protect your phone from the cyclic rate of vibration

 

I dunno, I only have an 11, but it sits on the handlebars in a cheap mount that certainly doesn't have vibration dampening. I have meathooks, so they shake like crazy. No issues at all. Wife has the same phone and mount on her Shadow, admittedly it doesn't shake as much but no issues either.

My suspicion is that they are more concerned about the high RPM vibrations from sportbikes. My GSXR used to buzz like heck ar higher RPMs.

 

There are numerous mount manufacturers that have vibration dampeners, no idea how good they are working. I have perch mounted rockform with dampener but I only used it few times to look at FP4 gauges.

 

Must not be a 2019+ bike with GTS? I put my phone in the right hand road glide glove compartment, and display via Carplay, no issues

 

I use this mount. No problems.

 

I have used my iPhone 13 Pro Max on 2 Harleys using a Rokform and Quad Lock anti-vibration mount with no issues.

 

I use the quadlock with the anti-vibration attachment. I’ve never had a problem. I have a 13 pro max
