I've found some posts that indicate that some of you use iPhones as GPS on your bikes but wonder how they are attached. Can anyone suggest a suitable cradle instead of me using my tank bag?

Note the poor review. It's because the mount will not accommodate a skin or case for the phone.

I use this mount on my Bonneville and on my road bicycle. It's very sturdy and articulates on two levels. Very simple to clip the phone in and out of the mount. Unfortunately, it's pretty much useless in the rain.

check the ram-mount website. They have a collection of different mounts that may suit your needs.

I didn't see any there that are waterproof for the iphone, but you might find something I didn't see.

Yeah I use the RAM mount + powerlet adapter for juice... Works great.

Thanks for the suggestions. Had a look at their website and found a decent selection of cradles. Just my luck that it's not so easy to source them from the forgotten land where I live! Guess I'll be importing again.....

I'm looking or an iPhone mount as well... but I have a thruxton with clip-ons, and it seems like these handle bar mounts won't work. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking I might need something that glues to the yoke???
