Finally got around to wiring and mounting of Gadgets, Radar Detector, Tender & iPhone
I been wanting to get this done since I got the ST-S and could not find a proper solution for Detector mounting until now. I will share what I have done all simple just had to find the right mount for the STS.
Im focusing on the Detector mount, took the longest to figure out what I wanted. I went with a handle bar mount method because I was looking for a easy quick way to get it on without making holes yet on the bike, at some point I may change it when the new wears off and I don't care about a couple of holes.
Here are the parts used and Pics with one added change, All parts ordered from amazon for ease.

Ram Mounting Systems Short Double Socket Arm W/2.5" Round Base Ram-b-103u-a
RAM Radar Detector Mounting Plate
RAM Mount V-Base Rail Yoke Clamp Mount ( NOTE: Hose clamps supplied will not fit on STS get a size 44 from Home Depot or Lowes which will fit around STS bar, add a bit more black tape to protect bike from scratches)
Basically that's it below is how it looks installed:

For some reason wont let me upload other photo, anyway this should give you idea what was done.
What I'm using is a Escort PassportIX Detector also using Escort Live with iPhone with direct wire smart cord. I also wired iPhone Charging cable to reach phone at handlebar and Battery tender wired direct to battery under the frunk.

Detector is for my car mostly I ted to go a tad over at times and I like to be aware of traps. I honestly find it more of a tool to control my lead foot rather than a tool to allow me to abuse with my lead foot.
I will move it to the STS when I need to I don't nearly have any speed issue with the bike I'm more mellow, but now I just don't like being without it.

Here is the Items used for Iphone Mounting, I use a iPhone 4s but should work with any smartphone.
Again all Items from Amazon except KewlMetal is from a Sponsor here on home page.

RAM Mount Universal X-Grip Cell Phone Holder with 1-Inch Ball
RAM Mounts RAM DBL SOCKET ARM A-LENGTH Body Other Bases BLK- RAM-B-201U-A
RAM Mount Square 2-Inch x 1.7-Inch Base with 1-Inch Ball
KewlMetal GPS/Gizmo Mount Bracket Cam-Am Spyder RT # KD-257
You will need to add 4 bolts and nuts of your choice to attach the kewlmetal to the ram mount. I had my local store here hook me up the second time with a set that wont surface rust, first set started to rust after a while they where black
I got non coated and no rust so far just FYI.
Iphone Case is from LifeProof.com I love this case water and shock proof but slim does not add much to size of phone unlike other cases.
I Love the iPhone just a great All-In-One device GPS, Music & Phone pair it up with a Sena SMH10 Bluetooth Comm System and good to go!
Cheers

I found some Rivco drink holder mounts (w/o the drink cup) and with some RAM balls I was able to mount my iPhone and (eventually) my Satallite Radio. Kinda pricy though.
