Default Phone mount on softails

Has anyone mounted a phone mount to their softail? What kind did you use and where did you mount it. If you have pictures please post them.

There is a long thread about phone mounts not too long ago. I use a Riders Claw and very happy with it. https://ridersclaw.com/

I have several RAM mounts on everything. They are solid. I have the X mount bolted to my pullback drag bars on my Lo.

I use RAM mounts al so ( made "the *****" myself ) on all my bikes and quad but I find the linkage between the 2 ***** in most cases to "grotesque"
and willing to try another system but as said, I use it on 7 bikes and the ***** are easy to make for me. No other system will let me make it myself so
will be more expensive.

Here are some examples, I made:


On the Fat Bob with carrycase mounted



On my Iron



On my Forty Eight with rubber o-ring

I would be concerned about unscrewing the fastener using the mount.

I am not sure what you consider grotesque...appearences, function?

They are installed with blue loctite, they wont come loose, they first one I made is on the bike for more almost 3 years and plenty of miles.

Appearences, .. the other systems are lower, flatter in most cases but then again not as adjustable. On the first photo is the shortest connection that I have,
the others are 1" longer.

I have the quadlock case and mount. It quite a bit cheaper than the rokform and it has worked great thus far. Plus the audible click of the tab is very reassuring when you click your phone into place.

I use a Ram Mount on my softail. I do like the way they mount and that I can move it to my other bike. This is my Ram Mount on my Sporty, but it is the same set up, except higher as the Speedo is on the tank. I also ran a SAE cord from the battery to the Mount and can charge my phone while riding.
