@leerayl@infosec.exchange if you have a battery tender lead with an SAE plug on it installed on the bike, there's an SAE to USB-A adapter (made by battery tender) to get an easy extra USB power line with minimal wiring needed. Been running dash mounted phones with that setup on several bikes now.

@dandrumheller@mstdn.social heh, I actually picked up the newer version with USB-A and USB-C over the weekend.

I am thinking through mounting options for it. I am going to run wires for it to the bars and to the trunk of my trike so I can have options. I also picked up a waterproof CarPlay screen to play with as well. It would be ideal so I can keep my phone off my bars. I just want to see my map :)

@leerayl@infosec.exchange I've been kicking around the idea of those waterproof car play screens as well!

My previous bike had an old Garmin GPS cradle on the fairing - I attached a rugged phone case to the weather cover for the cradle to mount the phone.

There are tons of options for 1" RAM style ball mounts - they work well and are reasonably unobtrusive. Do you have a full fairing, or just a windshield?

@dandrumheller@mstdn.social I just put my RAM ball on this set of bars. I do have a windshield (no fairing). I did invest in SP Connect which has a decent set of cases and mount options but if the CarPlay thing works, I will move that way. Waterproof and easy glove use was a big factor so if those prove true, it may be the best of both worlds
