iPhone Mount

[JNL]

I know this is might not appeal to all, but I am on the hunt of a mount I saw in the "What you did to your Tenere today?" section.
It was at reply 1263 from Coastie showing a picture of a mount that should work for me.

Would anyone know of the make?

I did try searching guys, I'm just not the best at these forum boards........

Sorry if I'm missing something here, but why don't you Pm the person that posted the pic?

Steve,
You are not missing anything. Just my fault for not knowing how to use a great tool such as a forum.
I'll try the pm you mention.

I've been threatening to buy this one.

The problems with the iphone on the bike are:

1. screen brightness
2. Overheats. charging it and running the screen at 100% results in about 20 minutes before overheat.
3. when you lose service, you have to push buttons to restore music on Pandora or whatever you are using.

Twisted was out of these last time I checked.

I use one from Bags Connection, the small one, on a Ram mount. Mounted the ball in the center of the handle bars. Used a short arm which makes it sturdy but still gives plenty options for positioning. Waterproof and you can operate the phone through the screen even with gloves. Bought from Twisted Throttle.

On the FJR, I use the RAM mount for my iPhone (caseless). On the Tenere, I am using the tankbag pocket. I don't use the Garmin app as much anymore, because I'm not really traveling by bike, so keep the screen off, which helps the overheating issue (which is more of a problem here than water).
