Just a shout-out "thank you" to those whom contributed to the thread. The first casualty to my wallet has been the Radio Shack alarm beacon and connect for my silent security system! Now I'm working on the best phone attachment for the bike. I've used RAM gear on my BMWs in the past but am having a hard time configuring my pieces/parts to make something work. I may try to make a HondoGarage PerfectSqueeze work but still undecided.

I run a Slipgrip mount with RAM ball attachment. I mounted on a

. The phone will not pop-out of the holder.

I like the Ram mount I found on eBay with USB charging port built in (https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Grip-RAM-...72.m2749.l2649). The price was right, and it holds my Pixel XL just great, and I can still access the fingerprint reader on the back with ease. I ran mine this last weekend for about 1000 miles total without any concerns. It held great, and I even used it to capture some video from my phone of some of the rides we went on. Everyone who saw it thought it was from a GoPro, because it wasn't as shaky as others, though there was a little. The only downside is that the waterproof phone case I got for my phone is so big it won't stay in it, though that could be due to the big plastic piece on the back for it's normal mount, but with the phone by itself, it holds it great.

You can add bluetooth to your bike so you can stream music from your phone, ipod or gps to your bike!

I bought a simple device that plugs in to my cig lighter port. I set it on an unused channel like 88.3, then set the bikes radio to 88.3. Boom, Bluetooth connection. No wires, no soldering, no fuss. Cost about $20.

Awesome! now you tell me... I don't think that is a bluetooth connection to your stereo, your device is broadcasting a FM signal that your radio is picking up. To each his own. My goal was to not have any thing added to the inter-fairing, nothing in the cig lighter, no wires from the stereo or from the cig lighter to the phone. Did a long ride today and my bluetooth worked great!

problem with those transmitters is if you’re riding through an area using that station you’ll lose your streaming.
