Title: Water bottle? GPS/phone mounts?
Post by: houndguy on April 03, 2013, 03:39:51 PM
Just curious what you use on your bike for water?  I live in Florida and pretty much ride every day...with the summer coming quickly I am going to need some way to keep cool. 

I have an idea about placing something in the center of my handlebars...we will see.  Unless there is someway to mount my Sumsung phone to the bike there?  Or a GPS unit (although my phone has GPS and that makes more sense to me).

Regarding the GPS, I mounted a stand alone Garmin Nuvi with a hardwire that is connected to the key. It shuts off when I turn the bike off.
For the water, I keep a bottle or two in a tail bag seeing that I live in the desert.

Nothing like Ram Mounts.

Www.rammount.com (http://Www.rammount.com)

More choices than you can possibly follow. The products are insane strong. Made of aluminum. Very very adjustable. They have at least 10 different mounts for motorcycles. Here where I say 'mount' I mean the base mount that everything they make mounts to. It is awesome.

I put mine in the center of the wheel like you are looking at. It works great.

1. You could remove the helmet holder at the console and put a bicycle water bottle holder, its adjustable

2. I ended up getting a console bag, and still have my water bottle holder inside
