Default Apes and accessories

Gang,

For all with apes, do you keep your accessories on top of the bar?

Previously, I would keep my phone or GPS mounted on my handle bar with a RAM mount.

Now, I'm thinking that it looks to cluttered to have a RAM mount with my phone on one side and either a GPS or my Power Vision on the opposite end.

Are there any mounts that you use to attach accessories to the lower part of the handle bar, instead of the top of the apes?

Thanks all

I have a semi new IPHONE6plus riders claw mount that I had on my old SG and its just sitting away because I put apes on my 15 RK and don't want it to look cluttered.

I'm not putting anything on my bars but my hands.

I know guys. I put my old Ram mount on my new PY bar. It looked like cluttered junk up there. I always ride with my phone mounted (music, GPS). And now, I have a Power Vision, I'd like to keep the console up so I can run my auto-tune and keep an eye on the gauges. Gotta figure out something.
Thanks!
