I'm using this on the controls

Here's a much clearer shot with the GoPro on the one side... I have an assortment of arm since I've started switching over to the Ram mounts for my cameras. I'm using the shortest arm with the X mount.

X-grip 1" ball with short arm shook like hell on my bike when I mounted it to the fairing. My phone would go from portrait to landscape and all over the place. I ended up getting a different style where the ball pops into the back of the X-grip and modifying the mount to it's permanent and doesn't move. Works perfect now. I can't speak as to how they work attached to the bars.

Who makes an inexpensive mount the would go to the middle windshield bolt and mount in the center of the dash? Ie between tach and speedo.

I don't have any pics at the moment, but I use a Rokform case and I applied the Rokform adhesive click-in mount on my tank. I had also purchased the Rokform magnetic mount, but it seemed like the locking mount would be more secure. Used the magnetic one on the dash of my VW, if it falls off there it's just landing on the floor! So far, so good with the bike mount. Rokform is also a forum sponsor, I think you get 10% off at checkout.

What setup are you using on the right? I know it's the ram . I mean how are you holding it to the bars. The other pics show a mount that connects to the brake system, but Like the way you have it connecting to the bars.
Have a part number on the setup?
Does it shake at all?

Thanks for any info

Best solution for me was the Boom audio magnetic pouch. Works well and if it starts raining, will keep my phone/iPod dry.

It will shake at idle obviously but running down the road it's fine. My last bike had the control mount but I like these mounts better more options. I have the cup holder I use on the left side.
