Hey guys,
Looking for a good quality handlebar mount for a phone. I see quite a few on Amazon but would appreciate if anyone has any recommendations. This will be mounted on a newer bike. Thanks!

i use a ram mount on the CB and the concours. get the rubber corner holder thing as well.  :twocents:

Hands down the best phone mount available is the "Perfect Squeeze" made by Hondo Garage.

Read the reviews on ADVRIDER.  Made in USA.

I did 1000+ miles off-road  on a Kawi F11 with clapped suspension and had zero issues.
Phone stayed in place and the mount stayed tight. 

There's so many different mounting options, but I suggest if mounting on a thumper or a bike with high vibration like an RD that you get the "Buzz Kill" vibration isolator as well.

He's currently redesigning the mount for inductive charging last I checked.

It fits everything from a narrow cross bar to fat bars with the dove tail clamp, but can also be ram mounted, etc.

I can switch between bikes in seconds. Just one Allen screw to remove/install.

I just got from a trip and used the RAM X grip. Didn't have any issues and the phone stayed put. That was on the FJ-09, the real test would be to stick it to my RD350 which vibrates way more than the FJ.

That is a pretty trick set up. Good reviews also.

I have the RAM X-grip mount with the rubber tether on my FZ. :thumbs: Works great and it's been a huge benefit on 900mi weekend trips

I also installed a Battery Tender cable to the battery terminals and a USB Quick disconnect. Allows for battery maintenance with a trickle charger and you can plug in the USB adapter for charging your phone while riding.

And of those cheap ones with the rubber X holders will work fine. I've used one and the thing stays put.
Do not underestimate the power of a two-stroke.

Ehhh...no.
I mean Velcro would probably work fine but I'm trying to keep it classy.

So it looks like Hondo Garage just released it's "Juiced" wireless charging mount, and an adapter kit for the original..



That's pretty damn cool.

Yeah but my phone isn't

I ended up purchasing the Honda Garage model. It's legit. Thanks for the recommendations. Now I need to get the upgrade for charging. I ran a length of wire from a battery charger cable into my battery charging cable and wired in a USB charger. It worked well but not the way I really want to do it.
Thanks again.
