Best place to mount your phone

I used windshield screws to mount it. Places the phone right in front of your face for your viewing pleasure. A little pricey but worth the money. This is durable plastic.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Hard to say

It's not that the product is of poor quality

It's not that the product is of poor quality, but I mounted it on my bike according to the instructions and I've traveled about 30km, I checked the bracket and noticed that it fell off. I took it off and bought a clutch rod mount. I wish I had gone that way from the start.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Repair

Harley Faring. Good idea?

The mount itself is easy to use and holds the phone well. I managed to securely attach the holder and plastic nut to the metal bracket. The problem is that the thickness of the bracket creates a gap between the top of the inner panel and the windshield, even with the screws tightened. Your phone is vibrating so hard it's hard to read. I'm also a bit concerned about the vibrations causing the nut to fail over time. Nice concept but I had to bring it back.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Bracket too long - will not fit Street Glides

Phone bracket is fine, holds the phone well. However, the hand is a piece of poorly designed crap made in China. It pulls the phone well over the gauges and blocks the view of both the speedometer and tachometer, obviously Ciro's engineers missed the mark. There is a rod on top of the foam pad that prevents the paint from rubbing against the fiberglass dashboard, at least until the foam starts to vibrate. The lever is injection molded plastic and vibrates a lot at idle, a long lever only…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Crumpled

A great idea. poor performance

As mentioned in some other reviews, once installed you get a little more separation than ideal with a fairing. after all it's not what really bothers me or why i give it 2 stars and not 4-5 stars. The grip of the phone itself is great and I'm not worried about my $1,000+ phone breaking down. fly away when I turn a corner or fly down the street at high speed. The problem stems from the vibration of the bike and the inability of the mounts to cope. As a result I can tighten the rear nut as tight…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some cons
