Which phone mount?
Hello people.I had a RAM mount on my previous bikes(fork stem mount) and o have a handlebar mount for the fat bob.Thing is the handlebar is tapered I out it on anyway and lo and behold it rattled itself loose.Luckily I didn't have the phone on the mount at the time.
Is there a decent mount for Harley bars(specifically the fat bob) as these bars are THICK?

Little bag for small bits and a phone holder with a charging slot cut out.
Cheap option will do
me for a while.The money being spent lately is mental.

In my jacket pocket.
If I ever get hit, or go down, I want my phone on me, so if Im solo I can call 911.
If my phones on my bars... It goes with the bike, away from me.
When I need nav I just use earbuds.

When I hit a car that pulled out of a driveway in front of me, I was glad that my phone was in my pocket where I could call 911 and not 100 feet away across the road on the bike. Besides, I don't need the distraction when I'm riding.

After seeing my dash and sat nav part company with my bars when I T-boned a car at a reasonably slow speed I like to keep it where I can get to it.

I have a mount on my bars but only use it if I need to charge my phone. Usually my phone is charged before heading out, but there are times when I forget.

I got one of these and top it off and drop it in my backpack. I have an SAE to USB attachment as well that I keep in the swing arm bag. So If my phone is low I can just plug in to the battery bank, and if the batterybank isnt topped off and my phone is fine, I'll just plug the batterybank into the USB charger.
