My 22 Heritage has no radio or any of the bells and whistles the touring class bike have so my cellphone is all I have which is BT connected to the Sena 5S com system in my helmet so if I ever do get separated from my bike?
as long as my helmet is still on my head itll be like I still have my cell with me via touch of button voice controls.
Your helmet could fly off in a crash or more likely, your Bluetooth. If you drive around looking at your phone, it's even more likely you could be separated from your motorcycle.

My problem is I'm only really interested in a bar mount, but the ones I like (Quadlock, Rokform) apparently only fit up to an 1.25" bars. Mine are 1.5" and I don't need a phone mount bad enough to swap my bars out.

Well I didnt wear a helmet for a little bit while all I owned were full face helmets that were far too hot to wear behind a windshield that offered zero laminar airflow to facilitate ventilation but since starting this thread to extrapolate the thoughts, logic and reasoning of others I opted for the HJC i30 which is much like the Shoei J Cruise but for $50 less which also included a Sena 5S com system and the phone mount is just to take the occasional glance at Google maps to see if my next turn is a left or right to know ahead of time which lane I should be in but it is nice to be able to hear my morning sermons on SiriusXM on my way into (and going home from) work
rode in all 3 days so far this week oh and?

I prefer it in my pocket, no distraction and I'll have it on me if anything happens, you know in Florida (and many rural locations) there are places you may not be found for days if not weeks and months. You can do voice GPS over the Bluetooth. I listen to XM or the music on my iPhone, works fine in my pocket.
No one else in Florida is concerned about being in the proper lane, I see no need in being different, I probably need to remove my turn signals to fit in better (joke).

Tackform has 1.5" options. I use a Tackform (not 1.5") and couldn't be happier.

That would be the problem. If it was a necessity, I could probably "make" it work, but I'd rather start with the proper diameter clamp
