[Badleg]

Looking for suggestions: One member here posted this one:

Looks nice, kinda pricey.

I need a place to mount either my mp3 player or the mp3/cell phone that Im going to buy.

I need to listen to tunes when Im riding. I used to not listen to anything. Then I tried it one time. Now I can't ride without listnening to Green Grass and High Tides!

A couple other of my favorites are Let it Ride by BTO, Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd..er well uh ok anything by Skynyrd.

How about you guys? Mounts? Favorite riding Songs?

Lynard Skynard - That smell
AC DC - Highway to Hell

Have you considered buying a Tank Tux with a pocket?

I don't have one, but I'm definitely considering the possibility!

Saw this today. Best part is that it's magnetic.

I've been looking for something to mount my iPod with. Looks like the ecaddy might be the ticket.

I have one also, and I considered that option BUT it makes it much harder to change songs, adjust volume and etc. With the e caddy lite its right at ur finger tips. Just something to think about.

I guess that makes sense... but for the application I'm considering that isn't a problem.

I have a Sirius satellite radio mounted on my bars and I have a portable FM radio that receives the signal and my headset connects to the FM radio. I'm planning on sticking the FM radio in the tux pocket since all the controls are on the satellite radio that's mounted to my bars!

Ecaddy is nice, but man they're not givin em' away. Should be able to fab something up for much less than that.

Its not cheap and I didnt want a cheap looking part either. It blends right in with the bars. I researched this before buying and have yet to find anything that looks as nice or better...

Take a look at RAM mounts. I use them to mount Sirius radio and my GPS. Lot of Gold Wingers use them! (RAM-mounts.com)

This is what I have - on and off really easy and works great. I have three and use them in combinations depending what I'm doing. Cheap also. 10 bucks or so

I too use a RAM mount. Extremely versatile. Solid. Easy on off (for removal) with a simple turn of a key on the RAM arm. Here's my Roady2 with one and the general concept (pieces) of a typical RAM mount:

Here's even a page from the manufacturer that contains a "RAM Mount Wizard" specifically for your motorcycle and device: http://www.ram-mount.com/products/motorcycles.htm

To get the above you first mount the semi-permanent u-joint base to your handlebars...

....then add the arm you want and cradle.
