Default Mounting Phone on FXLRS

What method does everyone use to mount their phone on their FXLRS or other softail?

I have looked into Rokform and Quad Lock but I know their is a ton of issues with it destroying phones, specifically the camera. So I looked into tank bags with a clear pouch on front but that doesn’t seem to really work because of the gauges.

I attempted to find a bar bag with a clear pouch on top but no luck really. What is everyone using to mount their phone?

Also I’m not interested in a dedicated GPS device. I don’t want to have another device since my phone has GPS.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to the responses.

I have been using the quadlock with the vibration damper for a year now. I have had no issues with my phone and I ride to and from work almost daily. I have smaller phone (galaxy s10e) if that maybe makes a difference though.

Quad lock with vibration damper works great.

I used a Hondo garage set up. They were first to the game with a vibration isolator. Been 2 years and thousands of miles with no issues.

highly suggest not going with Rokform. Their product is solid metal and has the most vibration

I’ve tried both Techmount and Ciro and both have destroyed a camera on an iPhone (one 7 and one 11). I bough a QMount that has a dampener and am going to install that at some point, but will need to remove tank because it has a different system to connect to battery than the Ciro. I’m hoping that Ciro announces they are going to offer a dampener, because other than that, I really like their mount

Thanks for the replies. I have an iPhone 13 pro max. Not sure if that will make the quad lock dampener less effective. That’s what I’m leaning towards though.

If anyone has a larger phone with the dampener, please give your feedback.

I've had this for around 14000 miles with no issues. Use it on a Galaxy FE S20 and no camera issues either.

I have the same phone as you with the plain quad lock mounted close too the clamp, no problems. The M8 doesn’t wiggle and jiggle like a T/C or Evo does.

Thanks! I might give the quad lock mount a try. Gonna go ahead and get the vibration dampener just to be safe. Should be good for sure then!
