Default Iphone Tank panel

Anyone know of a place that has tank panels made for iphones? I have been searching and cannot find anything even close. What I am looking for is the tank panel for an 07 FXDC, I want one with a pouch designed to hold an Iphone, preferably with a slit in the bottom of the pouch for the charging port.

Here ya go... It even says Harley-Davidson on it!!! I don't know for sure but I suspect the iPhone has a hard drive in it. Many have had problems from vibration with hard drive MP3 players breaking from being mounted to Harleys.

As for me... I'll be bringing my FREAKING PHONE with me incase an emergency arises and I actually want to call for help or I need to get ahold of someone without the hassle of smoke signals. Have fun with the whole "stranded with no way to call for help thing"... hope ya make it.

Thanks! That is close to what I am looking for, so it may just have to work...I was hoping to replace my existing leather tank panel with one that has something like that sewn on it...The Iphone have flash drives, not disk drives, this only Apple product that still uses a drive is the "classic" which is why they have such large capacity.

I may end up buying one of the armband cases and just add a magnet to it....that's pretty much what HD did on the one you listed

Pretty sure you could take the tank leather off and a case you find for it and take it to a taylor or bike leather shop and have them sew it on for you.

you may want to look up captitch... He is a site sponsor and does leather work, this may be something he can custom make for you. You should be able to find him at the "vendor directory" in the blue bar which also contains the search button.

or you can go with a fork bag if your just looking to store you phone, but if you looking to use it while on the dash (nav, mps, pinball) then you may want to go tank mounted route.

It doesn't look like it's big enough for the Iphone, but this would be pretty slick.

Ok, I'm a geek in my professional life, but your Iphone and IPod do not have hard drives, they use "flash" memory. That said, I always carry a phone when I ride, turned off to conserve battery and route all calls to voice mail, then buried in the saddlebag until I need it or get home, whichever comes first. Been ridin' 35 years, can't see myself riding down the road and scrolling through my playlist at the same time, but hey, to each his own.

Just wonderin', if cage drivers are azzholes for texting, talking and scrolling through a play list while driving, what are we called if we do it on a motorcyle?
