Default Handlebar phone mount
I am going to purchase the V&H FP3 tuner in a couple months and want to be able to view the auto tune runs and other diagnostics on my phones screen. I have the Samsung Galaxy S5. What is a good mount for the bars that will hold my phone?

Get an otter with the snap in belt holster, drill holes in the back, monut to a RAM mount. Works great. I'll post photos tomorrow.

Here is just the holster/clip. I cut off the belt fastener and used pop rivets to a RAM ball mount.

Works like a charm.

See if RAM makes a mount for your phone. I have the mount and iPhone holder, both from RAM. I have tried 2 other brands and they are sitting on the shelf.

Get the ram mount. I mounted it to the clutch clamp. Had to do a little modifying to get it to work. Over 20 and have never lost the phone. Get a waterproof case for the phone because if it starts to rain you almost need to hand to get the phone out of the mount.

I'm using Techmount (similar to Motomount) in chrome with the Ram mount. Works great! These guys are a distributor in Canada but I'm sure there's many in the US as well.

I have the RAM-X mount, works for everything I need it for... Will probably buy another base and get the can-holder attachment for it

Here are a couple of photos. The S5 is water resistant. The otter box is pretty tough and more water resistant. With the belt clip, never any problems.
