What is the best mount for an Iphone on the RT? Is the Ram Mount pretty decent, or should I go with the type that bolts into 2 of the 4 bolts in the handlebar?
I really don't want to drill any holes anywhere.
Just curious what you guys have found to work the best.
Do you use the Ram Mount on the handle near the throttle?
ram mount is (as I sit on seat) in/on the top left bolt of handlebars. For my iPhone.
I have a second ram mount on the bottom right bolt for my SPOT tracker device?

I mounted my GPS up on the top of the dash so the center area of the bars is where I mounted my iPhone. I used a Ram mount X-Grip and mounted it through the hole in the center of the bars with a toggle bolt. I can not tell a lie, it was Teddy's idea !
If there was an easy way to use a ram mount ball on top of the dash would there be in interest in mounting your GPS/Phone up there so you don't have to look down as far and take your eyes off the road?
Get a cheap older iPod and dedicate it to the job! Trust me you will be happier

I just bought the cheapest BRP accessory they have, the iPod mount and used it for my tunes... won't work too well when I'm trying to navigate with the eye phone...

I would like phone and GPS mounted just below eye level...
I've got no dog in this fight...
But it seems to me that the handlebars of some of these rigs are getting stretched to the limit...
Can you actually drill nto the dash top, and have a solid mount up there?
Dave,
Your dash looks like something out of the Apollo moon landing missions!

My set-up is similar to MB's. I like not having to look down to see my map!

JT, are you being modest?? There IS an easy way to mount a phone/GPS up on the dash (and more) without drilling any holes.....
JT's dash mount kit can even be ordered with a RAM X-mount for your phone/GPS. Works great!
Here's mine.... (So far, I'm only using it for my phone and a 12V USB power source.)
