GPS/Phone mount on 2013 Super 8 150???
« on: January 13, 2019, 11:44:34 PM »
Is it possible to install a GPS/phone mount on a 2013 Super 8 150? I was hoping to be able to use something that can be easily removed when I don't need it, like the phone mount I use on my bicycle handlebars, but I don't see anywhere that it could go. If it needs to be more permanent, that's fine, as long as I'll be able to remove it cleanly if/when I decide to sell or trade it in one day. Any thoughts/suggestions welcomed. Also, if it is possible, what brand/model do you recommend? Thanks!

Wondering if something like this might work. Looks like it mounts where the side mirror attaches to the bike.

Update: I went ahead and ordered this one. It's cheap enough and I have an old phone I can test it with. Will post an update once I get to use it a bit.

1/17 Update: The phone mount for which I posted the link arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, it does not appear that it will work on the Super 8. The plastic block on the end that mounts to the side mirror is too bulky and won't fit where it needs to. I'm exploring some other possibilities as far as places to mount it, but nothing is satisfactory yet.

Ram it! RAM mounts have a ball mount that will work under the mirror locknut.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into those.

My RAM mount system arrived and I think it will serve my purposes well. Not crazy about how/where the actual phone cradle holds the phone. I feel like the arms should've been a little longer, but the rubber web grip that came with it does keep it pretty secure. The section that connects the ball mount to the phone cradle blends right in, so I like that. Haven't had a chance to ride with it on yet, so hopefully we'll get some warmer temps soon. Thanks, again, for the recommendation!
