Snagged up a Rokform mount at a good deal on fleabay and have been thinking this will be good.
Dug in the bins and found a Heritage Special stem nut which was drilled M5 from the factory the rokform uses m5 also so just had to use a shorter bolt, done! The mount uses a locking clip that twist locks to a matching aluminum armored phone case.
Put an inline Micro USB charger in the headlight shell, powered it off the tail light circuit, so the phone can be powered with the key in the Park position.
So far so good, I have the Phone paired to my bluetooth headset in my Quietride helmet so can hear GPS directions. The key is any easy reach, the phone covers the neutral light, not a big deal my feeble mind can still figure out when I 'm in neutral. I may add a neutral LED I can see. I also have my voltage LED down by the key so will have to move that. I use HERE GPS on my Galaxy S5 Android that doesn't need phone data, the maps are downloaded, the whole USA is on the SD card. It's a fairly simple GPS, but I have been running it on a tablet in the van and on the BMW, nearly 10,000 miles so far
The only downside so far is that the GPS sucks the phone pretty hard. I need to be careful I don't draw down the battery even with the charger going. I have been able to keep a tablet going for full day rides. With the heavy power draw; the phone can get hot if left sitting in the sun and shut down.
