As many of you know, the analog gas gauge isn't as good as the electronic one.

My though is to put an X-Grip for my iPhone over the gauge area and run power for the iPhone from where the gauge currently is (that should be the easier part). Is there a good way to mount it there without drilling into the dash?

I'd prefer to keep my handlebars clear and keep the phone a bit more out of the way (I know most mount it there, and that's an easy location). My thought would also make it easier to power since the cord wouldn't be in motion when the handlebars turn.

There may be a good reason not to do this - I don't know, but I'm wondering if anybody else has tried anything similar and what advice I can get.

thanks,
Mark
