Gear Discussion: Tech mount and Sena - and a music poll
Just thought I'd share my latest farkles for the Buell.

I order a Techmount (http://www.techmounts.com/) 54mm Euro Mount for the Buell.

It mounts on the part of the fork tube that sticks up above the triple tree on most sport bikes:

I also ordered their Storm Proof case:

First impressions:
The mount is EXTREMELY well made. Every point that can articulate does. However, this means that it came with 4 different size allen keys to make adjustments. I think they could have standardized to 2 sizes, but I appreciate that they included the tools needed. The black finish looks good, and the customer support was great. I needed a "custom size" of 54mm, and I got an email back from them within 24 hours that they had that size, just not on the website. They took my order over the phone, and I had the order within 2 days via UPS.

The phone case appears to be well made, but it is more of a "universal" fit. It came with some foam sleeves to put behind the device to account for different thicknesses, and the touch screen still works well behind the screen protector. However, it is a little tight with an iPhone 5, and larger phones will not fit. I may search for a better case in the future, but this will work for now.

A smartphone is great for GPS and music, but what about getting the sound into your helmet?! Well, up next - Sena's SMH10R bluetooth headset, and riding reviews once I get everything mounted.
