I've been thinking where to mount my iPhone 6 to my RC390 for the past several weeks and came up with this solution. Because I use the QuadLock Case for my mountain bikes, I figured I could rig something up for my bike, so I started with the Wall Mount clip and chose a location that would let me view and control the iPhone best. I drilled a small hole for security. This decision took a long time before I decided to drill a hole.
Secured in place but removable if needed. The mount has sticky tape that can be removed with heat.
The mount doesn't come with a screw, so this is what I bought. I also bought a lock nut to prevent it from loosening due to vibration. The top tab of the battery cover limits placement of the mount. Although it would have been nice to set the mount closer to the gas tank filler, the screw would have gotten in the way of the tab for the cover, so that's why I put it more forward.
This was about as far forward as I could put it without compromising the integrity of the plastic from drilling a small hole.
When mounted, I can now view the phone in either portrait or landscape mode. I'm also adding the KTM power accessory port so I can keep it charged since my battery drops like crazy when I'm using it for navigation. I found a great iPhone charger on Amazon.
The way I use my phone is through Bluetooth to a SENA helmet speaker in my Arai. While I don't usually need to see the phone while I'm riding, it helps not having to fumble with it or worry about it. Recently I was on the freeway in the carpool lane with a low battery and after a couple miles of silence, realized the battery died since I had forgotten my charger that day. This will keep that from happening.
