Default Cell Phone Mount

In the market for a cell phone mount, I like the set up RAM had utilizing the mirrior stud hole. What's everybody out there using? I'm a little weary of the phone flying out of the bracket from vibration or a bump in the road. I want to use it for my phone and perhaps a gps, same mount would be good as to save money.

Can't go wrong with the RAM mount. I've been using their mounts for years. Not only on my cycle but my boat also.

got the Ram mount X Grip & use the u-bolt connection to the handle bars. Its great, we put over 300 miles on yesterday, never budged. I hit bumps at highway speeds that bounced me off the seat and it stayed put. Also hit speeds of 90+ mph... I would definitely buy it again.

I use a $1 clear front holster, it clips to the fairing pocket. used this for about the last 4 phones

the phone screen ( maps/directions) is in line of sight while watching the road...I don't have to look down when navigating and miss the deer running out in front.

when I stop for gas, I unplug the wire and put my phone in my pocket


you don't have to get too high tech

Thanks guys good input. IHC67 that was just the answer I was looking for. I live in Mass and these roads, especially the bridges, are notorious for bucking you out of the saddle.

Yes but the gov just raised the fuel tax and I am "sure" that will go to road repairs. LOL

I spend most of the short day rides in NH and avoid Mass roads.

ridersclaw.com has some nice mounts, pricey and customized to the phone. I have been thinking about one of them.

Ridersclaw looks great but it is pricey and with all the cell phones always changing not sure if I would want to buy a new setup if I changed phones with them being model specific
