+1 on this phone holder. I've got it mounted in the center on a ram mount. Works great.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Advice on mobile phone placement, what would work?

On the F3S
The bottom picture looks like it would block the view of the instrument cluster, but when you're on the Spyder, you have a clear view of the gauge cluster.

I just put in glove box and Ryde. If someone text or calls, I get it on my Apple Watch and stop to reply. My phone is too expensive to go flying down the road when some idiot cuts me off!

The OP has an F3S, so no glove box.

This scares me. I let myself believe that if I center mount it, if it falls off I will catch it with my body. lol

Is it a ball mount or does it mount flat on the bracket with the USB and power outlet?

It has a ball mount.

Depending on your phone size, for large screens like my Samsung Fold 5 when it is opened up, I had to buy a RAM Mount X-Grip (with a tether) on a handlebar ball mount.
Works great. No issues at high speeds.

After Apple Carplay was released, I ended up ditching the Garmin GPS and am using my iPhone for navigation.
It's mounted to the handlebars using an Arkon RoadVise Phone Holder with Aluminum Handlebar Mount

It takes both hands to spread it enough to get my iPhone into the mount.

It looks like it blocks the instrument cluster. Does it?

No, it doesn't block the cluster. I'll try to get a picture from head height of the phone in the mount.
Gotta see if the batteries in my digital camera works, first. ;D
The camera batteries were good, so I went out to the garage and climbed onto my Spyder, mounted the iPhone in the Arkon mount, and took this picture while looking through the viewfinder of my Canon PowerShot A710IS:
Edit: the phone is an Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen in an Otterbox Defender case

I use the Tackform mount on my F3L. Works great for me mounted in the center.
