at the screen, i cut a copper bar down, flattened the ends and drilled holes in the ends of the bar, screws straight in with the existing fairing screws.
works fine but i have a large phone case/phone so it does block the view of my speedo at times but not an issue if i'm using a satnav with gps speedo on it

Had one of those. First big trip and it soaked my phone on the way down, and the zip failed on the a42 on the way back up.
I bought a Givi one that was a bit pricey, but it works really well. ____________________ Bandit. does. everything. |

I had an Ultimate Addons case for my S3, but the power cable was a bit fragile (not good enough strain relief so the cable outer popped out of the connector leaving thin wires to support their own weight - on two cables as I bought a second one following the first failuer) and the plastic clips to hold it shut failed meaning it ended up with velcro straps around it.
I replaced it with a Peli Case (the transparent version of this) bolted to a RAM ball on the base and a hole drilled in the bottom for a USB power lead to go through (which was then sealed). Mount the whole thing using standard RAM hardware.
It is absolutely waterproof and properly rugged. The only downside is that you can't operate the touch screen through it - but set the satnav before leaving and operate the music/phone through the bluetooth intercom and you don't need to. Looks a bit chunky though, so more suited for a touring/adventure bike than a sports bike or hipster machine. |

I use one of these jobbies from Givi after getting fed up with the cheapy £10 eBay specials constantly breaking or leaking. They come in dedicated sizes for different flavours of phone, about the £30-40 mark. Totally rock solid and has a quick release button to seperate the phone holding bit from the mount if you really want to take it off for whatever reason. |

One of these to give you a ball mount on your clutch or brake lever bolts, or one of these to give you a ball mount on your brake master cylinder. Then buy a holder compatible with RAM or 1 inch balls. |

Build your own DIY universal mobile phone mount or support system for any mobile phone brand / model. Do you own a Honda CBR 600 RR and cannot find the perfect mount or support system for your mobile phone? Or simply don't want to pay for it? Are a you a DIY lover?
I wasted a lot of time searching for solutions online and offline, but unfortunately I was unsuccessful. What was frustrating is that the Honda CBR 600RR motorcycle does not have any spare space on the handlebar to mount a mobile phone support system or other accessories, other than the fork itself. The fork solution provided by RAM X-Grip was expensive in my opinion and I could not find it in local stores.
Lost and confused I started to search the house for materials. I considered the various locations to fix the mount on my bike. One of the locations was the fuel tank using a magnetic mobile phone case (not recommended due to the flammability of the gasoline...). Another location was between the fork and fuel tank (did not want touch the fairing.
So eventually went with the two screws on the handlebar, the ones located on either side of the fork. I removed the original screws and replaced them with similar allen screws but of longer. I used metallic materials for the conceptual design (preferably use plastic or other non corrosive); if metallic stainless is recommended.
Materials needed:
- Some rubber bands
- x8 screws and bolts
- x2 screws (preferably allen as others on bike are allen)
- x2 flat washers
- x4 90 degree angled metal plates
- x2 flat metal plates
- x2 velcro stripes
- x1 mobile phone case (preferably full case and water proof)
Tools needed:
- Wrench
- Allen key
- Scissors
- Optional: wireless electric screwdriver
Disclaimer:
This is a home made solution and its only a concept. The mobile phone mount has not been tested or certified. Building this conceptual design is at the motorcycle riders' own risk, health and safety. |
