I am looking at getting a Tackform phone holder for my 2021 Sport Glide,does anyone know what size I would need? The Tackform site has a black one and it says it fits 7/8-1 1/4 would that fit my handle bars?
Thanks

If using a new iPhone be careful,. I toasted mine on my sport glide after 10 miles. They don't like vibration.

I second this. Handlebar mount broke the optical image stabilization in my new phone the first day of a ten day trip out west. No camera for the rest of the trip. Never again will I mount a phone to handlebars.

I've been using a Quad Lock handlebar mount with virbation dampener on my last 2 iPhones (XR and 13) with no issues.

Ditto. I toasted two phones. Whenever I tried to use the camera, the photo would be all distorted and when the phone app was up it buzzed. Luckly, I pay for the insurance so free replacements.

Keep your phone in your pocket.

Isn't it enough we have to dodge cages driving with their phones distracting them?

Also, if you get separated from your motorcycle, you'll have your phone with you.

This. When I had my accident in ‘19, I ended up on the opposite side of the road from the bike. At least I had my phone in my pocket so I could call 911 for an ambulance.

I you HAVE to have something to play with, get a dedicated GPS unit.
