I have had two iPhones replaced due to the cameras losing there stabilization, I used a ram mount. I don't believe the phones were damaged on my FLHTCU or the 1948 FL, I believe one or all of my vintage British twins killed them. At highway speeds my 48 Pan is smooth as a Rolls Royce when compared to my 66 BSA Lighting or 67 Bonneville .

RAM X-grip with ram snap link tough claw mount. Too be fair I was replacing the X-grip rubber caps at least monthly due to wear from the paint shaker like motion the brit-bikes were producing on the phone.


Now I just keep the phone in my pocket.

Mike

It's among the reasons I love Carplay. Phone stays in glove compartment, zero issues

Freakin cell phones are a social scourge! Put the silly *** thing in your pocket, ride your bike and enjoy the world passing you by!

Me too.. I had my phone mounted on fairing, left side. The weight of the mount and phone destroyed the plastic bolt mount in the inner fairing. I wanted to get Ciro mount that goes in center bolt of the fairing but after this I'm reluctant.

This place is so real, it's like one huge dysfunctional family. Love you all. Well, except for that one rubberhead that likes to hear himself talk.

Don't read this, I'd hate to be responsible for your head exploding. I have a heated jacket liner for riding when it's cold out. I have an app on my phone to adjust the temperature for it, so I like my phone on my bars this time of year. Sometimes I put my phone in my saddle bag, and I have a wireless CarPlay adapter for those times. I also have about $3k invested in my stereo, and enjoy rollin' with tunes that are in my iPhone. I also like the iPhone GPS, the ability to send and receive text messages, and I even talk on the phone while riding. It does not suck to be me, in fact it's good to be me. 😘
