#1 | Phone mount using old nav mount datum

Thu Mar 04, 2021 2:30 pm

On my previous bike (KTM 1190R) I used my phone for nav/music while riding utilizing a Touratech iBracket. When I got my current bike (R1200RS) it had nav but I didn't have a place for my phone. I relocated my nav with the Moto-Mate bracket (thanks Fugly) and then made a bracket using the old mount on the forks. It isn't the prettiest but, I think it will work well. I had two or 3 phone mounts and a couple brackets that I went through during my trial and error. I settled on the Ram Quick Grip mount which has a built in wireless charger.

I was lucky to have the bmw gps mount and was easy to get the phone attachment for peanuts. Great alternative for your bike tho.

Does this attachment fit into the standard BMW cradle?
I�d like to try using the phone instead of the gps but I�d like to keep the option to switch back. I also would like to power the phone while mounted.
But I still haven�t found what I�m looking for�

Can anyone verify that these hold the phone securely?

Securely as in not going to part company while riding, yes. Securely as in locked in some way to prevent theft, no.

Yep this is the one I have. Paid about 13 euros for it delivered.

Charges and holds the phone very tightly. You would need to remove it when leaving the bike obviously but other than that, it´s the perfect option for a phone since you don´t need to faff around with cables etc.
