2 low buck solutions;
1.) the boom audio magnetic tank holder.
B.) my fave, I have a left over clear front leather cell phone holster that clips to my fairing pouch.
holds the ipod right at eye level for maps or directions
cost was zero.
the advantage of these is that when you stop for gas, you just grab and throw in your pocket
and the same "mount" fits my ipod touch or iphone- and anything in between

I'll confess right now I'm biased... Riders Claw is a good product... both are made in the USA... but if you change iPod models (or even change to an iPhone) which I did at Christmas with a new Touch... with theirs you'll have to buy a whole new kit. Leader's you just need a different ($15) cradle: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/motorcycle-ipod-mounts/

I use self adhesive Velcro on the tank at the seat and the mating Velcro on the back of the IPOD. Hair dryer will heat adhesive to remove if you don't like it and only costs pennies when the models change.

I have the Arkon Mega-Grip mounted on the left side of my bars for my iPhone.

Cheap and easy. Just like my women.

Love the rider's Claw, but I too have the model problem with the setup. Changed phones twice and had to buy the claw part twice...not fun. If you need one, I've got one I can sell to ya for the touches and will fit iphone 4 with case they told me. I'm using the Road Glide iPhone/GPS Mount from http://www.ironacesspeedshop.com/

I just slapped some Velcro on the back of it and on the windshield bag flap, then ran the audio plug through the fairing and out at the windscreen...easy peasy. Easily detachable, no dangling cords, cost me $2!
