I bought this one from a website, sure I've seen them on Amazon too
Was about 20 bucks.
Ram mounts are very expensive where I am, I wanted the U shaped tank mount but neither fit the Rebel, so this suited me.
Has USB, on off switch, Bar & mirror mount included.
I have a spigen mount that I bought off of ebay for $9.
Works perfectly and hasn't budged while riding over bumpy roads and highway speeds at 70mph+.
Works well with the utility socket in the headlight.
I probably didn't state the right terminolgy for the acsessory plug, but this is it in the pic
It's the black plug left to the white one.
Unclip the blank already inserted. You will need to source 2 pins to fit into the blank one.
I got my pins from a shop that installs radios, ICE etc, they let me sift through some old looms for the pins.
There is a name for the plug/pins which I've forgotten.
If you use this socket to power your phone or Nav you won't drain the battery, as it should power off when the ignition is turned off.
If you use direct wiring to the battery using a USB without a switch it will drain the battery if the bikes laid up for several days. I'm sure many of you guys already know this.
There is a member who's already done this with some good pics to show and explains well but Alzheimer's kicking in,the names gone.
Ah, I was referring to the 12v auxiliary socket add on from Honda that plugs in by the headlight.
Wouldn't it be easier to just do that instead of wiring a plug directly for a phone/navigation?
I am curious to as why everyone has mounted it on the right side of the bar?
Sure, you shouldn't use it while driving, but surely somebody does anyway, and thus the left hand is the one awailable most of the time.
Just personal preference I think.
I like my camera on the left side so that's why my x-mount is on the right.
When I'm bored I'll switched them around.
True Lyoko' Sat Nat function would be easier with the left hand.
As it is just a straight post with an inch ball, I cannot tilt it to the side. The placement is ideal, although it blocks the gas gauge a bit and it is also flush on top of the speedometer.
I'm using a Quad Lock Moto Mount. I've used their bike mount on a few mountain bikes and they have been solid. I just put this one on and might move it to the left side. First pic is just the phone, second pic is with the rain poncho that still allows full touch screen use.
A few years late to the party, but do you use the QuadLock case as well or do you have the stick on adapter? I'm asking because I've got an Otterbox case and wasn't sure if I should buy the OL one... Thanks.
this one is awesome all metal design, and easy to use with gloves and holds phone super firm, also clamps to the bars really nicely. a little expensive but i feel good that this will be the only phone mount ill ever need.
Since I flipped my mirrors I used a ram mount that screws into where the mirrors use to go. Complete ram kit with the X-Grip mount cost me right around $37 and worked perfectly on my last trip.
And even at that price point I thought it was kind of high for just a phone mount
The invert mounts I got are cheap crap and the one broke... hooray. What ball mount did you get? I know that had two variants of M10, and I assume you had to remove the riser off after you popped the mirror off as well?
I've thought about the tank ring ball mount, but it is expensive and there is a lot of documented evidence of it breaking. My buddy has a ram mount plate for his brake fluid reservoir and that is my favorite. Mine is on a u clamp ram mount on the right handlebar. I only use it when stopped. My left hand is holding the clutch. Ram mounts are beyond solid.
I got this one for $10 off Amazon during Prime Day. It's usually $30. It's works pretty good and I haven't had an issue with it. The cell definitely stays pretty stable with it. Doesn't vibrate or anything.
Ha we got the same exact parts. Ok, I just need to remove that mirror spacer piece I think, I'll do that when I get home and everything should be good.

New UK law coming into effect next Spring. You are not allowed to touch your phone/gps even when sat on it while stationery such as at traffic lights/junctions. If you do you get fined £200 and six points on your licence = 12 point and you are banned and extra insurance costs.
Roadside cameras being installed to catch out unwary drivers/riders.

I can't say that I disagree with this although it may be a little much that you can't use your GPS. I guess they want you to pull to the curb to use it.
I think so Gary. I also think you would need to get off the bike from what I have read. Did you know, in the U.K. they can prosecute you for using your phone while parked up in a car with the engine off? Indeed they can including a supermarket car park. You are still regarded as being ‘in control of the vehicle’.
It would appear they are going to make an exception for using your phone to pay for a Big Mac while waiting in line - lol.
I use the Quad Lock motorcycle handlebar mount for my cellphone. I know they are pretty pricey as you get all the attachments and phone case etc but I know my cellphone is safe on the mount. 120kmp/h and no problems. I ended up getting mounts for my car and kayak too so its handy but yeah, pricey lol!
