Anyone with an idea what is good for a mount for the Thunderbolt on my motorcycle?

This guy made his own EVO mount for his car by using a case, and some ingenuity.

Garmin GPS, XM, Sirius, Magellan GPS, Lowrance GPS, TomTom GPS, MIO GPS & RAM GPS Mount Authorized Dealer at MountGuys.com offers all sorts of phone/PDA/GPS mounts, including bicycle, motorcycle, boat and airplane mounts. Nothing TB-specific yet, but they mostly sell multi-piece mounts so you can just replace the "case" portion of the mount when you switch devices (or when they get a TB-specific case to replace whichever universal holder you may start off with).

ive heard good things about the ram mounts but i got this one off ebay. It is just a little too small because the hole for the charger/headphones dont fit very well. It is nice to still use the touchscreen(even though it doesnt work with gloves on)

I swear by RAM mounts for mounting gadgets to my bike. You could get the RAM-HOL-UN4U cradle or the RAM-HOL-AQ2U Aqua Box and then chose what type of mount you want to use. They have handlebar clamps as well as brake/clutch mounts. Three different lengths of arms to chose from too.

am i crazy or does mounting to the end of the handle bars seem rediculous ? If I'm putting a navigation on any of my bikes it will be tucked in against the windshield and near the ignition

i will take pictures of how i have mine mounted tonight. i have a kawaski mean streak so no windshield. it is mounted in the center of the handlebars. i tested it today while having a gps app up so i could check my speedometer.

these style scare the crap out of me. not only would it be a problem if it rained but for some reason i just see a big pot hole and me dropping the bike trying to catch my phone

i just saw the link i posted was for smaller smart phones. this one would work for the bolt

make a lot more sense to mount in the middle ..I can see how having them mounted off center will cause problems and probably fatalities

the only reason i wouldnt mount in the middle is it blocks my guages without a serious lean but i use my phone to replace my guages anyway so i dont need to see the time, tripometer, or mph

Here's my motorcycle mount. Bag is secured to the windshield, so it's going nowhere, also has a zip tie around it to prevent the mount from flying through the air at 70 mph or higher.

if you already had a mount why did you ask? lol

how well does that hold the phone? thats the only thing i would be worried about with a setup like that

what kinda vulcan anyway? nomad, drifter, classic, etc... (just curious)

I wish I had another camera to take pictures of the TB on the mount. Maybe tomorrow I'll bug my wife to use her iPuke and take a couple more pics with it on the mount. The phone snugly fits in the charger port and the top part snaps over the top of the phone. And, again, I have that black rubberband for the heck of it around the top part of the phone, although I don't think that's even necessary. I just wanted you to see what my solution was.

I have a Vulcan 1600 Classic. It's the one I have in my Avatar.

i may have to try a mount like that if i cant get the one i posted to work... i was just always worried about it popping out.

i squinted trying to figure out if it was a mean streak or not lol. saw the fenders and then i figured i ask what you had.
when you mentioned charger, did you just add a cig lighter charger?
