Exactly. I have an iPhone 5, the iPhone 4 before that, and the 3G before that. I've used each one as my sat nav, phone, web browser, music player, video player, camera, point prover (google ftw).
Phone free on contract, sat nav app was £25 at the time, then I wasted about £50 trying a variety of cheap holders. Then bought the RAM system, wish I had done it properly the first time, false economy for the cheap stuff.
OP, I had a further idea. You could use the bolt I have circled below;

Replace it with this part;
https://www.buybits.com/Product/6011/Ram-Gps-Mount-For-Motorcycle-Handlebar-Clamps-Ram-b-367u-sku-6011.aspx
So basically, the ball would stick out from there, and you just attach the clamp arm to it. The part I linked to above is for M8 bolts, so find out if that is M8 or M6 e.t.c. - You can get different bolts for the part I linked to above. It should be cheaper than the telferizer and also a bit more subtle when not being used.
Cheers,
Dan
EDIT: At some point this week I will put up a video showing my RAM set up.
Also, on a side note, you can then use the RAM mount to mount a camera if you ever wanted to - could buy something like this - https://www.ram-mount.co.uk/round-base-with-1-ball-and-camera-mount-threaded-stud-p-1258-c-360_168.html |

As promised, here is the video to show the set up;

In the video description is also a picture that shows where the mount can be added to the bike. |

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. |
