Thanks for the link im traveling this weekend so im may have to get it at my local cycle gear

Wow! Thanks for the link.. That looks good. Would be good for a camera mount/gps/or phone mount to charge (or have the phone be your gps)..

My battery post is getting a WEE bit crowded with my battery tender cable, Headlight Projector and I think my new horn when I figure out where to mount it connects also.

DIY Phone GPS mount

adding to this USB charge point install,

being the frugle one that I am, I couldn't resist the urge to re-purpose the bar mount that came with my charge point.

Cut out some 1.8G Galv plate, rolled the edges, 2packed Matt black, countersunk holes,

Purchase 2 30x2.5mm Rare Earth magnets + 1 gel phone cover

Took me about an hour & half in time and using spares/ left overs from the shed!

Yes doubters I researched if the magnets would damage my phone!
Yes I tested the magnetic force (heavy shake test) and couple laps around the block with speed bump plateau's -but yet to test on a hills ride
.....bring on nice sunny WE:steve:

Been running this setup since OP, have done a further 8,000km's (mix of cross country roadtrips, hills twisties, hotlaps and commuting)
and have not had the phone rattle or give the slightlest movement whilst riding.

Works great, when I stop for food, fuel etc. all I have to do is unplug the charge cable & stick phone in my pocket!

Very ingenious. Way to MacGyver that.
