Hey all I have installed a sound system to my hypermotard a few weeks ago. It is made by shark motorcycle audio, 3" speakers with built in amplifier with bluetooth. It cost me only $130 and I love the product. Im trying to get my cell phone mounted on the handlebar. I really want on the left side, between the mirror stem and the dashboard. I want to mount the phone horizontally. Have you guys any success with the RAM mounts? They have one that comes off the mirror stem, but I am unsure whether that will put the phone where I want it.
For those interested.. I made the bracket out of some steel I picked up from home depot. The bracket is bolted to the handlebar clamp and to 2 more handlebar clamps on the sides. The angle and location of the speakers are perfect where the are not in peripheral vision or interfere with the dashboard. You can hear most songs at 70 MPH (no joke).
I used a relay so the speakers switch on whenever the bike is running. No chinsy inline fuse used here; the fuse block behind the left side fairing has a vacant spot where you can install blade terminals and use a mini fuse.
Right now I am using a 3.5mm aux jack input to my phone, that is installed in my top case with a custom pouch I made to hold the phone. There is a USB charger back there also. To control the phone, I utilized the inline controls from my Galaxy S4's headset. The good thing is, my phone is away from the elements, but the 4 pin 3.5mm aux input wires keep crapping out on me.
I know, the paint looks terrible. Things have gotten crazy with college and work so I used brush paint to hide the rust. Eventually I will have it powdercoated.
Also, before any of you say it. I don't want to use headphones or a sena bluetooth! With that said, keep an eye out for a hypermotard in NY blasting country music
