That looks great! Is there any screen vibration or shake that you notice when you're riding. Just wondering how rigid it is. I have 1.5" handlebars and looking at the website it doesn't look like they offer a clamp for that size. I currently have a Ram mount that works well and is pretty stable as far as I can tell, but is pretty bulky compared to this. If it's worth it, I may buy the setup and make my own clamp to fit.
I think the secret is the clamp and arm.There's no rubber ball or anything that can conform and shake. the arm and the spacers are some kind of hard plastic/compound. all fits nice and snug.
So adapt this system you may loose this.

I didn't catch that about the thread! I'm still new to the forums. Thank you for letting me know and the nice comment about my service and bike. I'll let you know if I do decide to let the badges go. I'm off to find the correct thread. Y'all have some great looking bikes and have given me some great ideas. Stay safe everyone!

And obviously for convenient power taps for USB chargers lol. Good job.
Lol. Thanks man. I figured that the left one is for the lights cause the right one don't get power to it so it must be just a control. It was easier to wire up to the connector and not to the battery plus it cuts the power off when ignition is off and no draw from the battery.

Anyway, thanks for the idea/
Yep, good choice. I went from a Road Glide to my Road King because I never really found the need for the stereo, as every helmet I own has bluetooth, and voice control from my iphone is less distracting then fumbling around the HD Boom interface. Plus I like the much more open front view. The big fairing was somewhat better at wind control, but with my new 21" vented Clearview shield, I no longer have buffeting issues. All that said, GPS is something that may come in handy once in a while. I have a removable RAM handlebar clamp I am considering getting a solid iPhone mount for and may follow your lead and tap into the power lead. I do have the switch in place for my Aux lights, but I don't think the draw from a USB would make any difference. I'll probably pick up a couple of Posi-Tap connectors and tap into the switch wires (as opposed to those on the bike side of the molex). Interestingly, my Low Rider has a built in Gen-U-Wine USB port on the left side of the frame by the steering head. Seems silly they didn't include one on the Road Kings... Oh well. There's probably some HD logic there ;-) With the removable mount I could just toss it in my bags and only put it on when needed.
Anyway, thanks for the idea/
