I am looking for a simple way to mount my Droid on my bike for long trips. I have a Harley so it needs to be well made for the vibrations. And I need it to be able to either charge or be able to plug a charger into it as 8 to 10 hours of GPS/Music will kill the battery. I am willing to modify anything to make it work. Was just wondering if anyone has something similar?

I just have to ride with it in my pocket with an extra battery at hand. Mounting docks are nice but I wouldn't trust it on my bike. I have a Softail so I couldn't imagine it on a rigid mounter engine which vibrates harder at stops. With the vibration on any Harley engine (and also factor in your pipe decibel level) I wouldn't trust and expensive hardware that doesn't hard-dock on.
I used a Garmin GPS on my BMW R1100RS and my BMW R1100GS and I always had a lanyard on it even though the Touratech mount was rock solid. The lanyard saved a brand new Garmin 276 once.
Today I installed a cigarette lighter on my Vulcan to hook my Droid to. However, I really don't see a mount that I trust enough to use the Google Maps with. Can anyone point me to the "ultimate" Droid motorcycle mount?
