    Hey everyone!

    I’m a proud new owner of a 2014 VFR (white) - been riding it for about a week now :) Just going through some small modifications on the bike and was curious on what people did for cell phone mounts.

    I naturally picked up a RAM mount setup for the fork stem base (I like this location the best): https://www.amazon.com/Ram-Mount-Mo...=8-6&keywords=RAM+Cell+phone+mount+motorcycle

    but the fork stem diameter falls in the middle for the spacer and I can’t seem to get this to work.

    What have you all done to accommodate? I can’t use a bar mount because, there isn’t any space.

    Thanks for your time!

    RAM mount with XGrip is what I use along with the stem mount. Works great!

    Nice… Telferizer looks like a good option! Oddly, I can’t find how to buy the thing on the website or any pricing… kind of weird? I’d be curious of how much it costs.

    Curious, what setup did you use for the power socket?

    I emailed the guy as there was no mention of an iphone 6s. Just do the same with your requirements.
    What do you mean by set up?
    Socket is wired into a switched live so only powered when ignition on.

    FWIW I ride the bike to get away from tech, cell phones included. I get the all most necessary evil here, but man just let it go. LOL that said I do pack it just in case, buried in gear or in the tail bag. Just for that letting the wife know I'm still safe and sound.

    Yeah, it’s just there for navigation when I need it. Also, so I don’t have to stick keep it in my back pocket and have a nice accessible spot for it. Just more convenient. Not a huge fan of another device so don’t really want to go with a GPS device in addition to a phone.
