That’s what I’ve had for almost 20k miles. No issues.

What mount did you have?

Has anyone here actually wrecked their iPhone by having it bar mounted? I just bough a new 15Pro and would prefer not to wreck it. I have the tackform mount and never had a problem with my iPhone 13 Mini. <shrug>

You guys with the Ciro mount on the center of the dash - could you modify it to accept this ball mount?

Then get the Tackform arm and cradle?

I’d need to measure the ball on my Ciro dash mount. I seem to remember 5/8”. This is what the dash mount looks like. The ball is integrated.

What mount did you have?

This from Kuryakyn. Red highlighted part goes between inner faring and windshield left bolt. It was a perfect setup but it cracked the bolt housing. It’s similar to center bolt setup as Ciro you posted above.

Im guessing center bolt is long and it will be ok but still it’s plastic and not sure how strong it is.

Is that metal? If so, maybe you could have someone cut the ball off, then drill and tap the hole?

Yes it’s metal. There’s not enough meat to thread into.

Bummer. You guys make me want to buy one, then cut the ball off it and TIG weld a Tackform ball onto it just to see if it would work.
