The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I have an 2018 model of PCX (in Brazil).
I want to install a phone mounts in the middle of the steering bar (see the red circle in the attached photo).
The problem is that all devices I found so far need to be secured from the back side, and in this location on the bar there isn't enough space to do it.
Meaning, I need a phone mount that secure from the front - or any other good idea that anyone have...
Thanks

I use one of these. Works well.

I Think that is going to be about the only one that can be attached through the middle of the bar. I use a RAM mount, but it won't fit in that small center area.

Here are some RAM Mounts that look promising.

Pull out one of the bolts in the picture, and use a ram mount through the handle bar bolt. No getting behind anything…

Here's one web sight that will give you an idea of center mounts available on the WWW

The photo's below show the one I bought from them and used on a 2011. This mount was recommended by another forum member. It worked fine for around town. Using it at high speed? Not so confident.

If you haven't done so already, use Google and Browse the WWW, I'm sure there are lots of choices and configurations now to get the job done. Maybe "not" so much on center bar, but another location that might fancy you.

When you find "the one," come back and show Us what You got

Glen, I like that and it's a steal of a deal! Did you add some locktight?
Cheers

I put my RAM mount on my brake reservoir. Nice fit and I don't have to worry about it when I do not have the phone attached, mainly because I can carry other items there as well. I also put my clock in the middle, so that space is taken.

Still, there are definite advantages with having your phone right in front of you.

What are they?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2 ... UTF8&psc=1Looks a cheap and convenient way to mount the phone, but too many bad reviews to trust it - so many people saying the rubber broke and their phone got damaged early into using it.

You You, one advantage is if you are using the phone as a GPS and attach it in the middle of your handlebar your eyes don't have to work as hard to adjust when you want to look at it. The vibration there seems to be less than further out on the bar.

You can also easily see your phone while looking at your instruments.

An example of center attachment vs offset to one side:
I sat in a friend's Mini recently and I found the instrument panel a bit difficult to get use to, since they installed it in the middle instead of directly in front of the driver. It is supposedly better placed there than in front of the operator, but I don't see that.

Also, I see more drivers looking directly down at their cellphones (texting while driving??) than off to one side. Some have their phones resting on their steering wheel.

The speedo is a styling thing in the BMW minis (yuk) taken from the originals. The originals were placed there due to cost and the covered the front access point for a carrying pole to transport the body shells. There was a corresponding hole under the rear seat uprights that was covered with compressed cardboard before painting.
