I have one I’ve placed on the bars. I think it’s better cause it doesn’t obstruct the dash. I guess it depends one handle bar as well. I don’t have vibration thingie to be honest. It seems to be really big. But do you need the phone mounted every day? I mean I used the mount like three times since I know the city well.

 

It's not so much for the nav - I have the bluetooth module if I need it. I do however listen to music when I ride (again controlled through the bluetooth mod with the handlebar switchgear) Although I wouldn't mess around with the phone while riding, it'd be easier to operate than de-glove to get the phone out of my Dainese jacket pocket to start a new playlist etc.

 

I have the quadlock bar-mounted with anti-vibe on my triple and scrambler 1200 xc. I like them though I am sure I will tweak the location and angle as I ride both. There are extra knuckles you can use to get a better angle etc. I have thought of trying the fork stem mount but probably won't have to. I have a universal mount and so I can't use wireless charging so I am running a usb cable up to the bar area. One of the reasons I got a bar mount for my phone is not only for navigation, calls, music etc, but because I hate before and after riding, having to reach into my pocket to take my phone out or put it back in my pocket, especially with motorcycle gloves. I like that it's just there right in front of me at all times.

 

That's exactly why I want one. I used to use a bum bag when I wore 1 piece leathers, but now I just wear riding jeans and jacket. It's awkward to get it back out of the breast pocket with/without gloves. I've just ordered the bar mount. I could do with running a USB but not sure how to route it from back to front.

 

I have it mounted on the bars, on the left side next to the clutch lever clamp. It's been a great product and I'm very happy with it.

 

I just received mine and I can only mount it close to the centre, which obstructs the view of the LCD. I wanted to install it at the end of the bar, next to the clutch lever bit the spacers provided won't work as ilthey are either too small or too large. The odd thing is that on the picture provided on Amazon, the bike used is the Street Triple and that's where it's mounted.

 

I know you already ordered, but for others in the future: My opinion is that the ball mount quad lock is the most flexible one to get as you can just find a 1" ball mounts for the stem, handlebar, or whatever for cheap and have a variety to choose from.

For example, I already use the ram xgrip on my Street Triple. On my Triple I use the Ram handlebar clamp bolt mount: https://amzn.to/39MULyt

For my RS660, I I ordered the ball mount quad lock and I am getting this stem mount ball attachment for the RS660: https://amzn.to/3uGhWTh

So I am not stuck with one kind of mount or another and can swap between the two bikes if I'd like.

Also, as far as I could tell the quadlock stem mount does not rotate as much as an equivalent stem ball mount and socket and appears limited to one direction (I could be wrong).

My two cents.

I have both and have used both and definitely prefer the stem mount. To me it’s in my line of sight rather than off a little to one side, blends in the the bike better and does not interfere with anything.

 

What's the best way to route the cable? I got the handlebar mount but I'm guessing that 90% of the cable path would be the same as the stem mount.

 

I run the cable down the same side as the USB port, under the pillion seat. Past the battery, past the same side of the Air Box & up through the cable outlet hole on the frame near the stanchion.

 

Do you have to lift up the fuel tank to route it through the cable outlet hole? If so, is there is anything to be aware to prevent messing something up? I’ve never lifted a tank before.

 

Yup, just 2 bolts at the front off the tank & remove the seat. The tank will then be free to lift up & down on its hinges.

This video will take you through the process as its the same process to install a new air filter -

 

Bars - I removed the top clamp and moved them out of the way while I dropped the fork stem into position, as the flange on the stem will foul the bar while trying to drop into into the stem. It was no hassle - I just put a few marks with a sharpie on the bar to the left and right side of the block so that I could realign the bars in the exact position they were removed (though I ended up adjusting them a bit for ergonomics after watching a Dave Moss clip on YouTube)

Cable - the stock one is a bit short. Rather than alter the routing or use an extension I just bought a complete cable from Amazon - USB A to USB C. I went down the left side of the bike, popping a few ties to the existing loom where I could all the way to the USB socket at the back. For the tank I just took the bolts out (dropped one of the bloody washers and never retrieved it) and put something underneath at the front to hold it up about 4". That's easily enough to allow access to the loom.

 

Does the Amazon cable hold up when riding in the rain? The stock Quadlock cable has a built in rubber piece that looks like is meant to keep water out of the plug.

 

I have a 2020 street RS. The Quad Lock WiFi system can use up to 10w but the USB on the bike must be lower because if I use my phone, a Samsung S20, as satnav and listen to music it doesn't have enough to charge the phone at the same time. Anyone tell me if I can up the power from the inbuilt USB to 10watts or 7.5watts?
Tia.

I was looking at the Quadlock cases and attachments when I got my Street Triple RS last year but held back as there was talk of them buggering the image stabiliser in the iPhone and Face ID not working due to vibration. ………....

I’m convinced that the greater the distance from the phone to the mounting point point on the bike i.e. the longer the “stalk” is the more likely you will suffer vibration damage.

I use a stem mount directly attached to the top yoke on my Ducati and have had no problems in the last two years with my iPhone 8 Max.

I now have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and intend to use the same mount type on my new Street Triple R.

I may be wrong here but I don’t think you can mount the anti-vibe mount onto the stem mount because the phone case release mechanism is the spring loaded sleeve on the barrel of the stem mount. In fact you actually need to mount the stem mount onto the anti-vibe mount, but then you may have a problem because the ”legs” of the anti-vibe mount project below it’s central base level requiring a spacer and a bespoke base fixing method. All lengthening the distance between the phone case and the mounting point on the bike and maybe overloading the capability of the anti-vibe mount. 🤣

 

I am a little late to this thread but I have a long arm (not sure what the proper term is) along with the stabilizer and a SAE output from my battery that I can use with a USB/SAE converter to charge the phone to use it to connect the battery tender. The long arm kinda looks dorky but I like that keeps my heads up vs mounting it low, which never really made sense to me.

 

Many thanks for posting your photo and comment. I see your point about putting the phone in easy eye reach. It must vibrate quite a bit?

I haven’t sorted my Street Triple out yet but my Ducati has it on the top yoke because it has no stork length to amplify vibration and you will be looking fairly regularly at the speedo and tacho.

For the Street Triple I am seriously thinking about a small tank top bag on a QD filler cap mount with a phone compartment in the lid which should eliminate vibration and provide some storage on the bike, of which there is zero originally.

 

I've had the vibration stabilizer dampener (Motorcycle - Vibration Dampener) and rode ~11k miles (my phone is mounted 95% of the time) with an iPhone SE 2 with no issues.

I don't think the street triple vibrates much relatively although I don't have many bikes to compare it to (only had a FZ6 prior) but will say I had Dainese Smart jacket for a brief time and it had issues activating from the bike's vibration which eventually led me to switch to the Alpinestars instead.

 

I have mine near the clutch lever. As I recall, the smaller spacer looks like it won’t fit but when you tighten the clamp it actually works fine.

 

If you guys have any problems with the Quadlock kit drop them an email. I have contacted them a few times now and have always found them to be most helpful.

 

Installed the quad lock pro stem mount, dampener, and wireless charger to my ‘22 RS. I think the fit is excellent and clean. The aluminum pro mount does fit without any modifications and you do not have to remove the handlebars. I lifted the tank to route the cable and was done in less than 30 minutes. I’ve put a few hundred miles in since install and I am very happy with it.

 

That's awesome! Not having to removing the handlebars is huge - I just picked up the Pro version.

Do you have to keep the mount in the position in your picture (facing down), or can it be oriented in different directions as well?

 

You can adjust it to be further from the tank if you want. I have it about as low as it can go because I like the phone being closer to the tank and bars. The space between the fork and bar is somewhat tight, so you are limited in how you can orient the mount. I can post pictures with the phone in place from different angles.

 

If you don't mind, that would be super helpful!!

 

Taken slightly from the side so it looks skewed, but it aligns perfectly with the triumph logo and the center of the tank. There’s also space to set the phone horizontal, but it’s not as easy to remove in that position and I have to take off my gloves to do it.

 

Super helpful - thank you so much!

 

I have just sorted how I am going to mount my phone on my new Street Triple. From my experience in mounting the phone on my Ducati I am convinced that this vibration phenomenon damaging the phone’s camera is exacerbated the further the phone is from the top yoke of the bike.

For the Ducati I used a stem mount (for push bikes) securely tie wrapped directly to the top yoke and never had any problems with either my iPhone 8 max or my current 11 max.

So on the Triumph I have made a 3mm ally plate to span between two of the bolts in the handlebar clamp. The existing bolts are M8 x 30mm and have been replaced with stainless steel M8 x 45mm. Also needed were some spacers made by cutting a M10 cylindrical connecting nut in half (a M8 will just pass through a M10 threaded hole). Coincidentally the outside diameter of the M10 connecting nut is 13mm, exactly the same as the diameter of the cap head on a M8 bolt, so the spacers were a snug fit in the clamp recesses previously occupied by the OE bolt head.

On the plate I intend mount the following Quadlock kit. Knuckle adapter, vibration dampener and a lever head.

If you want to know what diameter your handlebar fixing bolts are check the size of the hex recess, 6mm will be M8 on a normal cap head, button head and low profile cap head will be 5mm for M8.

The plate is 25mm wide and the bolt centres are 92mm apart.

 

Hi, I am also trying to find the best way of mounting a phone and was looking to also use a quadlock bicycle mount (stem mount) as I have it spare. Unfortunately for it to mount well I would need to replace the handlebar clamp cap from a one piece to a standard two piece.

Does anyone know of any handlebar clamp caps which would fit, possibly from an older triumph?

 

Had a look online and didn't find anything worthwhile so I'm going to try some foam rubber and try and cable tie it to the existing clamp.

 

I used the longer of the included cables. It barely reaches the USB port under the pillion if you run it under the gas tank. I didn’t need to zip tie it at all as there’s almost zero slack or movement under any condition. All I did was remove the bolts holding the front of the gas tank and propped it with a small 2x4 while I ran the cable. Super easy

 

Thank you man, I appreciate the help! Now to just figure out how to remove the gas tank... going to watch some Youtube videos.

 

There’s two bolts right next to the fork. That will let you lift the tank a couple inches and is enough to route the cable

 

I installed the Quadlock pro stem mount as per the recommendations of a few others in this thread. It's a good fit and gives some flexibility in how you can position the phone. I like it because you can not only position it relatively low to the handlebars using the existing arm but can also remove the arm and mount the head direct to the part which screws into the stem to place it even closer to the bars.

do you have any pictures of the system mounted without the arm? Would the phone fit also orizontally in that case?

I'd also appreciate some view with the arm and the phone mounted (both vertically and horizontally, if possible).
I like the stem mount ideally, to keep everything centered and symmetric, but I'm afraid it could be annoyingly high/block the view of TFT, or even make it more difficult to insert and turn ignition key, etc... so I can't decide between stem mount and bar mount

I'm saying this also because I'm also planning in adding the wireless charger on top of everything...

------

Talking about the wireless charger, I originallt thought I would bring a usb port near the handlebar (maybe using quadlock cable Motorcycle - Waterproof 12V To USB Smart Adaptor ) and then use a short cable to connect the wireless chargin head to this port.. I've now read posts of people who just attached the head directly to the bike usb port, and I'm wondering which solution would be better.

I mean, the cable solution would provide an usb port at the handling bar that can be used for something else as well occasionally, while keeping the bike port free (for charging another device while riding around... ie my interphone). Also since somebody was complaining about ouput power of the bike port, maybe this way one can get more power (specs say 18W).
On the other hand this solution might be less waterproof... what do you think?

 

Just an update to show the Quadlock kit in place. Half the cost of using the Pro Stem Mount but the base of the knuckle adapter needs a minor mod to make it sit properly on a flat surface and you may need a slightly longer M3 countersunk screw to fix it down. My phone is an iPhone 11 Pro Max, so not small and I can use it portrait or landscape without obscuring the instruments.

Not M3 but M5, the hex socket is 3 mm.
