Default Iphone holder suggestions
I am finally able to play my music thruogh my stereo and was wondering what those of you with an iphone use to mount it to the bike. I prefer a handlebar mount or something to keep the phone within site. I also want to keep vibration at the lowest. Anyone have any good suggestions???????

i have bought a couple of these holders and i really dig them! Make sure you look at the chart @ the middle/bottom of the ad to pick out which type of phone/device you want a holder for.

I bought the RAM mount set up, mount, arm and ball together costs about 35.00.... I feel it's a good looking, well made and works great..... Just my 2 cents.

Be Safe JIM

Default ++++1 On The Ram Mount
Plus, I purchased a cable that both charges and sends the aux signal that I plug into the bottom of my Iphone. I also modified my head unit to wire an additional aux jack in the rear. Only one cable to plug/unplug. It's a very neat set-up.

I second my man's suggestion here... i don't have an Iphone but i got the same mount for my Nano.... This guy makes his mounts for just about everything.... They are as slick and simple as i have ever seen. It mounts right to the existing bolt on the hand controlls... Some of the mounts that i've seen are SO out of controll..they look like a piece of bridge work.. i guess the manufacturers don't know that all these phones and MP3 players are less than 1 pound. I think my Nano is like 3 ounces.

p.s. It was under $30 and it shipped in less then a week

I replaced my Ram mount with this. Pricy but I like it better.

Did you do the mod or send it in to get it done?(if you added the AUX in could you elaborate on this?) I would like to do this to mine but do not really want to be without it for the time it would take to send it out and get it back.

Thanks a ton

I am very happy with the Ram Mount, and also posted this tip a while back for charging, connecting Aux and controlling basic function of Iphone Ipod with gloves on.

I have subsequently also posted an important tip about a setting called "shake to shuffle" - make sure you switch that off

+1 on riders claw, actually got comments on the looks of a phone holder. Chromed up and holds the phone snug as a bug.

Good call on this one! I was wondering for a week or two why my iphone would keep skipping songs @ stop lights and when i started it up, and finally stumbled across that option in the ipod settings menu. Made me laugh a for a bit
