RE: Auxillary USB Power Plug install for IPhone

I loosened up the plastic tab that holds the tank at the back end, lifted it a little and pulled it through under the tank as close to the tank as I could. Not hard to do. I chose an original Apple cord for that because of the quality. I didn't want to do this every 3-4 months. I've had aftermarket cords in the cars and they have problems after a while at the phone plug end (wear out/connection is spotty etc.) Apple cords are pretty robust and I'm not concerned about the heat aspect because I have it about as far away from the motor as you can get it short of duct taping it across the top of the tank.

Where the cord comes out at the front of the tank:

RAM mounts come in a whole host of configurations and options. You can buy kits or you can piece your set-up together with whatever your needs are. I have absolute faith that the phone won’t be going anywhere while it’s tethered into the mount.

I use the C clamped ball mount on 2 of my bikes and just move different length arms and the one RAM X Mount between them. That gives me some options if I'm running a tank bag:

Next I use an X Mount with whatever length arm I need. Note that when a phone is not n use the rubber tether just hangs there. You purchase the X mount in a specific size related to your phone:

Phone in mount without rubber tether stretched over corners:

With tether on phone:

Nice thing about these X mounts is that you can easily place the phone in infinite positions. Everything is adjustable:

RAM X Grip mount from the back with the rubber tether stretched across each corner to secure phone:

One of the arms that mounts into the Ball on the handle bar and then into the ball on back of phone. Everything is exceedingly well made. Nothing flimsy:

This picture of Irish Road Racing has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. I just like it:
