Manufacturers Description:
The most versatile way to mount your iPhone on a motorcycle!
The cornerstone of the eCaddy™ Diamond motorcycle iPhone mount is the Ultra-Swivel. It provides unlimited positioning ability in three ways. So you'll never have trouble seeing your iPhone!
And the Ultra-Swivel is so sleek and slim, you'll hardly know it's there.
The 2-hole diamond shape on the eCaddy Diamond is the perfect fit to the shape on the back of the iPhone cradle, giving it a clean, classic look that is unmatched.
This kit mounts on any round bar (3/4" to 1-1/4" diameters).
Note: Leader Motorcycle has kits available to fit all Apple iPhone models as well as universal kits for other phone types.
Review:
Since I have a speaker system on my bike that plays from my iPhone I have been looking for a quality mount for my iPhone that was secure, convenient and of course looked good. The iPhone Mount from Leader Motorcycle appeared to fit all of those requirements. They offered three different types of mounting systems... a Windshield Mounting Kit that uses one of the windshield screws to hold the mount, a Handlebar Control Mounting Kit that uses the two screw holes on the left or right grip/controls (longer chrome screws are included in the kit), and the kit I chose which is the Round Bar Mounting Kit that uses a bar clamp available in multiple sizes to fit all handlebars.
The kit came with everything needed including easy to follow instructions. It took a total of about 15 minutes to completely assemble and install the complete phone mount.
I had no problem getting the phone in the exact position I wanted because the rotatable mounting plate, central swivel and multi-positionable mounting bracket provide for unlimited positioning and angles. Once it was installed I was impressed with how clean it looked as well as how secure it felt leaving no worries about loosing my phone on the road.
All of the mounting parts are made directly by Leader Motorcycle at their facility in St Francis, MN, USA. The handlebar clamp and mounting plate are machined from solid aluminum and chrome plated. The swivel is machined from stainless steel. The only piece not made directly by Leader Motorcycle is the phone cradle, however they offer a selection of cradles form RAM Mount (a top quality manufacturer) to be included in the kit.
Overall I would highly recommend the Leader Motorcyle Phone Mounting Kit.
Here is the mount installed on my Road King.
