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. 😘
My gawd youre absolutely right. I never thought of that. How did we ever manage without it? Youve completely changed my opinion about this.
Thanks
My phone sits up there on my handlebars as a GPS. Since its a phone, and I can install apps on it, I use three different GPSs for different things. Google Maps, Organic Maps, and Towards being my favorites.
It also serves duty as a riding camera, facing forward. Though I still may someday buy a helmet camera.
And since I have helmet speaker system, I use one of the streaming apps to play music and such.
I guess that's why I buy cheap android phones, if it breaks oh well I'm out $50.00 bucks, but I've never had one of my cheap phones break on the bike, I guess I'm not going to attach a $1500 dollar phone to my bike, and I do have a Tackform mount
Thanks to this thread Im making a switch from Rokform to Takform . Good thing they had 60 days return.
Rokform was $200+ and only has a height of 5from handlebars. Takform is half the cost and has tons of options for extension arm. Im thinking of getting 8 arm. It should be high enough to bring my phone at eye sight.

“My phone at eye sight” that’s great! So not only do I fear distracted cagers, I add distracted Harley riders to my list….WTF is happening ??? I’m so old school. I can’t be alone here…lol (but not really)
Having the GPS (phone) at eye level is much safer than looking down at a screen imho as I do not have to look down at a GPS, I keep my eyes in the same direction of travel, not looking up and down.
and it is MUCH safer than reading a map like the “old school” folks used to (maybe still?) do.

The old school folks werent in motion when they were looking at their maps! Eye level, *** level, who cares . They arent looking where they need to consequences are tragic!
