Phone Holder for bike with no central bar

[MotorBike001]

I'm looking to fit a phone holder on my bike to use as a sat nav. I know the legality of it is a bit of a grey area..

Problem is that my Honda CBR 650F has no central bar between the handle bars, see the pic below.

I have a Samsung S7 - Any ideas/recommendations?

Hard to tell from the photo but is that a redundant mirror mount on the left bar? Ram Mount sell a mirror mount. Or you could take a look at Bob Telfers site for a steering nut mount.

As raesewell says, RAM Mounts are the answer. They also do mounts that fit to the switchgear clamps

No need to be so formal, Rae will do nicely

Yes thanks guys - looks like RAM mounts are the way to go. The fork stem looks like the ideal place.

A better pic of the handlebars:

 

This looks good but I was hoping to get the holder nearer to the bike rather than sticking up with a large arm

So, I'm looking at getting the RAM Mount,

I can't find a universal holder (for my Samsung S7) on the website which goes directly above the ball.

I was hoping to find something with a very short or no arm?

Steering stem might be the only way to go due to the screen possibly been in the way

[raesewell]

The short Ram arm is only a couple of inches.

Poor little fella

Are these compatible with the cases from the website linked in the other thread?

This?

If you trust your phone to be rain proof, easy cheap quick and has charging. I have been in some pretty heavy rain on my S5 and had no issues....

Thats all it takes

I know of some bikes that have less than an inch between M/S and fairing/screen!

Looks interesting, how/where did you mount yours?

On the Trophy O used a bolt for the fairing and on the FZ6 I used the wing mirror mount. I like them as my phone needs no additional cases and I can chare on the road.

My only complaint is that when I have left the bike in the rain the USB cable has got wet and its not been able to charge. If it matters to you remove USB cable I am just to laze
