I find that a jacket pocket works well. It keeps it safe and dry and more importantly I can't hear or see it.
Sorry, I couldn't resist |

I use a RAM ball - one of these on the Pan, replacing one of the handlebar bolts or one of handlebar u-clamp variants on the other bikes. You can get them that mount on the brake/clutch lever brackets or on top of the master cyclinders (but remember to leave the original clamp half in place if you use them).
An extension arm, then a transparent Peli micro case with some additional foam inside it pads out the phone and a RAM mount base screwed to it.
A hole in the bottom of the case lets a usb charging cable come through, which was then sealed up.
It's bulky, but fits nicely in the otherwise open space between the bars on the Pan. It is absolutely weatherproof, but does need the case to be opened to operate the phone. Not a big issue as you don't want to be messing with it whilst moving anyway, but you need to actually pull over rather than do a quick press whilst sat at traffic lights.
I got through some cheaper mounts in pretty short order before settling on this, which has been rock solid over about 40,000 miles. It ended up costing me about £50, it is worth shopping around for RAM bits as the price can be quite variable. The phone can stay in its leather case (which doubles as a wallet for me), which is an added bonus as many of the more dedicated mounts need you to put in either the bare phone or the phone in a tight skin sleeve. |

X-Grip are RAM clones that work very well, £12-ish on Fleabay, had it for about 6 months, did 150 miles yesterday with my One+ 3 on it doing satnav duties. It held a Nexus 6P before that, but that's about as big as it will hold. There are bar or mirror mount options for mounting, and the USB port does what it says on the tin.
Just make sure you have a waterproof case/sturdy zip-lock bag handy, this is the UK after all, it usually rains.

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. |
