• 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.

Phone mount options

I have a Lamonster Phone Phang now and it must be losing it's springiness. I almost lost my brand new $1400 phone today going around a curve. Had it not been plugged in, it would have been shattered along the road somewhere. I'm less than happy. Don't get me wrong, I love Lamonster Garage and maybe I got a bad unit or maybe it just wore out.

I use my phone for music (downloaded and Sirius app) and Google Maps so it has to be visible. I have it mounted in the middle of the bars.

I'm not sure if I should buy a new Lamonster Phone Phang or get something else like a Tackform. Might be something else out there I'm not aware of. I'm not interested in one of those generic $20 Amazon overseas built POS. I need to KNOW whatever I have my phone in will keep it secure. (Not that there's not a place for generic Amazon overseas built crap.)

Recommendations, please?
 
Lamonster top cuff with a Ram x-grip phone holder works excellent for my oversized Iphone XR. I've used them forever and can vouch they really hold. Even comes with a rubber stretch safety holder, which I think is a bit overkill. But if I had your experience, I'd probably use it. X -mounts come in different sizes also. :thumbup:

This makes me nervous as I just got my Phone Phang installed yesterday. I would contact Lamonster and see what they have to say about it. It’s his top rated phone holder.
 
I have the Tackform from motorcycle Dave and love it, your phone will not fall out of it. It is expensive but so is another phone.

I second the Tackform from Motorcycle Dave. Although it is expensive, it is real quality and Dave is great to deal with and has the best price for it.
 
If i could attach a strong cable to my phone I think it could be used to tow the Spyder while it was in the Tackform mount.
 
Guess I should have mentioned it has to mount to a 1" RAM ball. I guess I'll see if I can reach Lamont/Jeremy and if they can't resolve this, I might call Dave. The Quad Lock in post 5 looks interesting but that involves a new case. I like the case I've got now.

I use the Quad Lock. Holds my phone rock steady no matter how rough the road may be.
 
I keep looking @ the Quad Lock but the case is pretty much a deal breaker. I leave the phone next to me on my desk during the day and wouldn't be able to use that case as it would rock. Also, with that hump, I think I'd lose my wireless charging. I looked at the Rokmount (?) but that's closer to $150. Probably not gonna happen.
 
I love me Ram Quick Grip Wireless Charging Holder. easy to put phone in or take out. and being wireless reduces the times I have to plug into the phone power port. You just need to have the proper Ram ball mount for your situation.
