mobile phone to use sat nav a suitable attachment

Post by hemelforza »

hi,

any riders been able to source a reliable mobile phone holder to fit some where.

no handle bar space perhaps brake fluid reservoir ?,used apparently on other bikes.

possible some thing to use on the flat edge on the body moulding by wind screen ?.

an attachment I have seen uses replacement M8 bolts to attach a ball joint ?.

any advice would be appreciated ,ta.

The pocket is the best place for the cell phone, you don't want the distraction on the bike. Avoid the crash survivors list and think about a Sena SMH-10 Bluetooth Headset

I have a ram mount on my brake reservoir that works great. I put one on my wife's bike as well, and after we had our accident we looked for the phone in order to call 911. It was still attached snuggly where we had attached it, not a scratch on it.

I know what fits the 2013 PCX model but I don't know what will fit your particular model. Maybe you can check the manufacturer site.

hi,

thanks for your advice. the ram products look very good.the brake reservoir fitting looks the way forward.will check my bike later to see if its practical.

here in the uk so P&P will be needed from the states but this option is the cheapest. hopefully the £v$ rate will improve soon !.

thanks to veryone who gave me advice as my sense of direction is bad my tom tom will be needed.

There are quite a lot of mounts that will fit the PCX bars as-is due to narrow clamp (check banggood.com or such for cheap extras) or fit one of those 'steading bars' between the handlebars and attach the phone/tom-tom or such to that (sorry, forget what the bar between the bars is called) :)

ice, that's a cool option! ;) On Bikerz Bits website they call it a "Handlebar Cross Piece and/or "Cross Bar."

Member hemelforza if you want to see one, click here: https://bikerzbits.com/bikers-cross-bar ... e-bar.html

Note: their website states it fits a Forza, BUT does not say 125
You'll have to ask them if you're interested.

Or...Maybe another 125 Forza member bought one and can chime in?

I got mine from PowerbyPCX, but I'm not sure if they still stock them. Can't see them on their website, they are only showing the combined handlebar with crossbar

I just use my bluetooth helmet device & leave phone in cubby box on charge. No distractions when texts etc come through.

Stay safe and lock your phone away when riding. Too many distractions as it is.
