Home made, works great
I don't like my Ipod out on the ends of the handlebars. I made this one for about $ 20.00 in parts from RadioShack. I can rotate it up or down for better viewing. Also the whole unit pulls off the bars quickly and will stash in one of the gloveboxes.

pm'ed you.
I don't like looking out at the ends of the handlebars (eyeballs off the road). Mine being black is kind of stealthy where I mount it. I'll toss my gloves on top of it to hide it If I run into a convienience store.

Home made Ipod mount
Here are a couple more pictures to those interested. The RadioShack part # for the project box is 270-1802 ($2.99). As the pictures show, I'm actually using just the cover from the box. I don't have a part # for the microphone stand clip, but it fits on my stock bars perfectly and won't scratch them. All the other parts came from coffee cans on my workbench. I used a short mount from the Microphone clip to the threaded collar on the back of the Ipod mount (1"), but different length extensions are available, inexpensively. Hope this helps. I knew there were other value conscious (cheap) tinkerers here.

that gauge package is so nice looking, sure seems like such a shame to mess it up with a coiled cable going up into the aux jack.....
