Hey folks! Just joined and almost at 1,000 miles on my new 2014 Spyder RT-S SE6. Needless to say I am loving the experience so far. I am doing some internet research for a good iPhone mount and found a few, but I wanted to see what others are using and if they like/dislike their set up. Any recommendations?

Thanks and cheers!

This would work with a 5s cradle.

I use a RAM mount with a ball (cost about $15) then have a 1" RAM arm attached to that (cost about $10) and then use the RAM X mount attached to that (costs about $30 I think). This allows me to use different size devices in the X mount and it holds them really secure. My 5s fits perfect in the mount.

I HIGHLY recommend The RAM 'X' mount. It is universal and farily future proof....

Here it is on my ryde---

I used the Ram X-mount on my last Spyder, and loved it. It held my iPhone as well as GPS. I'll be ordering one for my 2014 LTD.

Along with the RAM X mount, you may want to consider one of these:

Fot the RT I've seen this mount posted a few times.

I use a Rivco drink holder bracket only (w/o the mug ) and RAM parts to hold my phone on the one side of the handlebars. I use a USB cig light adapter connected to the jump terminals to provide power. All cables come up through the center plugged hole to keep things clean.

Well, ordered the Ram X mount. Lifecase is a definite purchase also. Thanks for the advice. Not even at 1,000 miles yet so I'm still figuring out all the fun tweaks I can do with the :spyder2:! Loving it so far. Thanks for the tips folks!

Cheers
