    Default $1000 phone

    Hi Everyone
    Are you still riding around on your Spyder trusting your

    $1000 iPhone or other big bucks phone held on by a plastic
    X mount thingy ?

    The mount is OK but the holder is not so great, I have the cure
    Get rid of the X mount and get this, 1 in ball.jpg

    don't worry about your phone bouncing down the road.

    Default Nice....

    Look like some solid mounts. My phone rydes in my pocket but if I were to have it out this would do the trick. Great for those that do use their phones...

    I have one and it is good and solid. Right in the middle of my handlebars and easy to see for directions.

    I have no problems using the X-grip with the rubber posts to hold and not scratch or mar the side of my $1500+ phone. Thanks

    I have to agree Gene, my phone is in my pocket! GPS gets me where I need to go, and I don't need to take any phone calls when ryding.

    I still use the old X Grip. But I am also one of those people who have an android Motorola phone which cost me about $99-$129 to get the latest one. Does everything that I have ever imagined, and more. My kids and grandkids have to have the latest and greatest, but not me. I'm good.

    I’ve got you all beat! No cell coverage anywhere close to my house. Verizon was 1 bar. I guess I’d better start looking to update. My old $5.99 Brick tracphone with 3G was shut down in August. 3G don’t exist anymore. Yep I’m a bit behind times. My plan really broke the bank. 90 minutes a month for $4.99 and I have over 2000 minutes when they shut it down. FORGET THE PHONES!

    My phone is my GPS. The Tackform with a Ram Mount holds it in the perfect position.

    Phone in the pocket and turned off. Anybody that wants one on the handlebars can have it, long as they ain't texting while they riding.

    Default Phone Mount

    A phone is not just a phone anymore and not every one rides a RT. I've never owned a standalone GPS. I use google MAPS on my phone even when i know where im going because it saved me countless hours with accidents and road closures and never been to a place where my phone couldnt acquire a gps signal having said that never been to remote areas like Antarctic, Alaska etc. So my $1000 phone gets mounted on the handlebar and 1 has to be secured to 2. Docked/undocked easily.
