I'm going to give a 30 pin BlueTooth adaptor a shot and am looking for some feedback from those who are using or have used a GPS/Smart phone mount. What type & brand did you go with? What was the cost? How did it work for you and would you recommend it? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
If you want solid, reliable, and versatile these are the way to go. I bought a ram ball mount, short arm, and a clamp for the handlebar. It can hold darn near anything and is a very sturdy mount
If the device you're using is important to you, definitely get the Ram mount; like the one ranger suggested. They are solid! A little ugly, but your phone/GPS won't go flying when you hit a bump.
I had one, on my old bike, and honestly; I don't know where it is! I couldn't see the phone in bright sunlight anyway, it always overheated; and at any rate, I can get along just fine with voice directions through the speakers or my headset anyway, so my phone stays in a pocket, saddlebag or glove box.
That Ram Mount X-Grip is outstanding. One size fits most. The rubber stretch material is like a safety if it did get loose (which it won't). I have the mount with Ram's "tough claw" mount.
The Ram Mount is about as good as it gets. With the 1700's 1 1/4" handlebars finding a clamp to fit can be a challenge. The smallest/cleanest/neatest I've found is using a P-clamp and a handlebar clamp base.
lots of different bases out there. from suction cups, to replacement bolts with the balls attached, and some made specifically to go at the brake/clutch.
Ram mount it is. I am leaning toward a mirror mount versus the handlebars. Any horror stories or suggestions with this type of setup?
