The Best Motorcycle Cell Phone Holder-Biker Gripper

July 4, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

Biker Gripper Control/Perch Mount Version-Chrome or Black-Harley or Metric

The Biker Gripper motorcycle cell phone holder is the #1 best quality on the market & it has zero competition for many reasons. It fits Harley, Indian, and metric motorcycles! And other power sports vehicles with round bars!

The Biker Gripper is the sexiest, sleekest, and strongest motorcycle cell phone holder ever made with 18 lbs grip strength and even fits the largest smartphone devices, even with a case. That’s why we carry it over all others cell phone holders right in the Law Abiding Biker™ Store & we can hardly keep them in stock at times. We just haven’t found anything even close to the Biker Gripper after many years now.

Biker Gripper Universal Bar Mount Version-Chrome or Black-Harley or Metric

The Biker Gripper has been tested for many years now on long cross-country motorcycle trips by bikers around the world! Bikers worldwide just can’t say enough good things about the Biker Gripper and this cell phone motorcycle holder sells itself. It has been through multiple high side and low side motorcycle accidents and unbelievably, the smartphones stayed in the Biker Gripper head. Okay, even we were surprised at this as it really wasn’t designed for this standard!

The Biker Gripper has also been tested extensively by Police Motorcycle Officers & their entire units. There’s no rougher environment than to put the Biker Gripper motorcycle cell phone holder on police bikes for several years of rigorous testing. The Biker Gripper holds the phone even when police bikes go down on training courses and during their rough daily activities! Police Motorcycle Units all over the world now trust only in the Biker Gripper and it’s the only motorcycle cell phone holder they’ll use!

BEWARE! Junk Holder. Clunky with straps and cheap plastic.

Beware of all the junky cell phone motorcycle holders out there on Amazon, eBay, and other places (picture to the left). A quick search will show you why none of them can touch the Biker Gripper. They are clunky, poorly made, and look horrible. So many of them must have rubber straps that go over your phone to hold it in and who wants to deal with that. They are clearly made overseas in factories with substandard processes and materials unlike the Biker Gripper cell phone motorcycle holder, which is made right here in the USA!

Each Biker Gripper cell phone motorcycle holder is crafted in the USA through a patent CNC process using high-quality aircraft grade aluminum. The head of Biker Gripper is injection molded using Dupont Delrin Acetel resin thermoplastic and your electronic device is held securely in place with polyurethane fabric to prevent scratching and four stainless steel springs with 18 lbs of grip! The grip range of the Biker Gripper head is 1.9” to 4.2”.

Biker Gripper Control/Perch Mount & Universal Bar Mount Options-Harley & Metric (black or chrome)

The Biker Gripper also beats all other motorcycle cell phone holders because it has multiple mounting options to fit your specific needs. The Biker Gripper kit comes with the mount, head, and install hardware. You have a choice of a black or chrome mount on both models. The actual Biker Gripper head is black only. The biker gripper uses a 17mm ball to mount the head.

First, we have our perch/control mount option. You simply remove two stock bolts on your control cluster clamp, either right or left side, which is your choice. The Biker Gripper kit provides everything you need for the install to include the longer clamp replacement bolts, both standard and metric provided, along with the spacers needed. The kit even has hex head wrenches for a super easy install anyone can do. Further, you can mount it right side up or upside down, based on your personal preference.

Second, we have our universal round bar mount option. The gripper head is the same, but the mount is for any round bar from sizes 7/8” (22mm) up to 1 1⁄4” (32mm). This allows it to fit virtually any handlebar on motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV's, UTV's and other powersport vehicles. It requires only 3⁄4” of handlebar space and can be mounted at any angle.

Biker Gripper Head-18 lbs Grip Strength!! Biker Tested Biker Approved!

So, forget those cheap junky motorcycle cell phone holders that can’t be trusted. Is it worth saving a few dollars by putting your very expensive smartphone in one of these? Plus, do you want something that cheap and clunky on your beautiful motorcycle that you take so much pride in?

Get a Biker Gripper cell phone motorcycle holder that’s made in the USA and has been tested and approved by actual bikers and Police Motorcycle Units worldwide! Just look at the 5-star reviews on the Law Abiding Biker Store if you aren’t yet sold.

Harley Boom Audio Sena 20S EVO Wireless Bluetooth Headset Software Update-Tutorial

June 26, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

I show you how to update the software in your Harley Boom Audio Sena 20S EVO Wireless Bluetooth Headset. Make sure you keep the software up to date as they are fixing issues and often add features. First, you'll need to install the Harley Sena Device Manager on your Mac or PC. Once that's installed I show you a website page and the easiest way to find current software updates for the Boom Audio 20S headset. You can check this page anytime to see if your Boom Audio 20S headset is in need of a software update.

To get the most out of the Harley Sena 20s EVO headset and to integrate it with your Harley Boom Box Infotainment System, you'll need to purchase and install the Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM) from Harley. This device fixes the inability of the stock Harley Boom Box to “directly” pair with a motorcycle Bluetooth headset. This quickly becomes an expensive fix to a problem Harley and Harman Kardon, the maker of the Boom Box, created in the first place.

CHECK OUT OUR HARLEY BOOM BOX TUTORIAL VIDEOS!
- Get in the know and stop stressing. We teach you what you need to know.

Once you've purchased and installed the WHIM & had a dealership flash your Boom Box, the Harley Boom Audio Sena 20s EVO headset does provide full integration with the Boom Box Infotainment System. That means voice commands, music, turn by turn GPS, intercom, phone calls, CB radio etc. You can also pair with up to 8 other riders with the Harley Boom Audio Sena 20s EVO headset.

Note: With the WHIM, the only way to get “stereo” sound is to fork out the money and buy a Harley Boom Audio Sena 20s EVO headset. Other headsets may pair, such as the non-Harley branded Sena 20s, but you'll only get “mono” sound and it sucks, trust me.

Other (cheaper) recommendation for full Harley Boom Box Bluetooth wireless integration:

The Sena Freewire was out long before the WHIM and solved the pairing problem just fine. It's what many around Law Abiding Biker Media currently use. The nice thing about the Sena Freewire is that you get full Boom Box integration just like the WHIM, but you'll get “stereo sound” with most current and popular motorcycle Bluetooth wireless headset models! That is huge, since most of us already have expensive motorcycle Bluetooth headsets that we can use and don't want to be forced to buy a Harley stamped headset.

If you have a passenger that you want to communicate with wirelessly through the Boom Box intercom system, you'll need to buy one Sena Freewire for the rider and one for the passenger. With the single WHIM installed, you can run both rider and passenger headsets. That's really the biggest difference between the two.

So, you'll have to price things out and see what option will work best for you depending on your particular needs.

Harley Travel Tool Kit & Items I Carry for Touring on my Motorcycle

June 2, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 6 Comments

I wanted to show you the Harley travel tool kit and maintenance items I carry when traveling cross-country on my motorcycle. (see video below)

Being compact and having what you need is most important along with the quality of course. Why have to call a tow truck & be down over a simple repair you can do yourself on the side of the road with one of these awesome Harley travel tool kits.

The Harley travel tool kit items I recommend and use are as follows:

I carry the Cruz Tools RTH3 RoadTech Standard Tool Kit for Harley-Davidson. We have used this tool kit multiple times for things like a quick clutch adjustment, securing a broken shifter linkage, and diagnosing worn shifter splines to name just a few. All these things could have put a stop to our motorcycle trip but we were able to get back on the road and get a more permanent fix when we found a dealership later on.

If you appreciate all the free videos, podcasts, and articles we put out, please consider supporting us. We're trying to help as many bikers as we can worldwide!

GET CRUZ TOOL KITS IN THE LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE HERE!

The Cruz Tools Harley RTH3 travel tool kit includes top-grade combination wrenches, an adjustable wrench, locking pliers, tire gauge, hex and star wrenches, 6-in-1 screwdriver, threadlocker, mechanics wire, cable ties, spark plug socket, and more. But you’ll also love the way-cool mini ratchet and socket set.

I also carry the Cruz Tools Outback'r H13 folding multi-tool for Harley. This little Harley tool kit is powerful, yet will fit in my pants pocket folded up. This muti-tool includes torx drives, hex wrenches, phillips & standard screwdrivers, sockets, socket driver, box & open end wrenches, and a spoke wrench.

I add a small amount of duct tape and some extra zip ties. I then wrap everything up in my main Cruz Tools RTH3 Kit for one powerful set of options for emergency roadside motorcycle repairs. This has saved the crew here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media on numerous occasions when far away from home when on our motorcycles.

Note: There are also metric versions of each kit.

Additionally, for my Harley travel tool kit, I carry a Cruz Tools TirePro Tire Guage. This gauge has a 12” flexible hose that makes even hard-to-get-to valves less of a task. Readings are held until released, and a built-in valve lets you “bleed” down to the desired pressure. Readings are in psi and kPa, and the dial is protected by a rubber boot. I can't recommend this enough. I have one in the shop too.

We are currently testing and will be reviewing emergency motorcycle tire repair kits. We will decide on what to recommend and will add it to the Law Abiding Biker™ Online Store. Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube Channel, so you get notified when we come out with new videos!

The Cruz Tools I carry for my overall Harley travel tool kit are top quality and are biker tested and biker approved. That's why we brought them directly to the Law Abiding Biker online store!

Harley Boom Box WHIM Failed After 1 Year-Recall Coming? How to Fix

April 28, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

Missing “config” tab and “status”

After using the Harley-Davidson Wireless Headset Interface Module “WHIM” for 1 1/2 years it failed on me. It would only complete a partial software load on startup. (see video below with detailed info)

On the Harley Boom Box!™ Infotainment System, I was missing the headset status and configuration tab when paring my Harley stamped Sena 30K mesh and Sena 20 S wireless Bluetooth headsets. I tried updating the firmware on my Harley Sena headsets, the WHIM, and my Boom Box. That didn't fix the issue.

I unplugged the WHIM and the Harley master fuse trying to reset the WHIM. I finally went to a Harley Dealership and plugged my Boom Box into the Digital Technician Software to try and fix it and that didn’t work either.

How Wireless Headset Screen Should Look

I had to actually buy a new WHIM and replace the corrupt unit and it fixed all the problems immediately. I really wonder how big of a problem this is and if others are experiencing it?

Best Harley LED Headlight Bulb + Indian-Rivco H4 Halogen to LED? Night Riding!

April 24, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

Are you searching for the best Harley LED headlight bulb for the money? There are many Harley LED headlight bulbs on the market and it can be hard to decipher which are good and which are junk. Be careful and do your research. Search this website and our YouTube Channel as we have a ton of Harley LED headlight reviews and tutorials available. Less than reputable Amazon & eBay sellers reach out to us often here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media wanting us to carry their Harley or Indian LED headlight bulbs in our online store or to review them. We quickly say no after looking at them as they are very low quality.

GET A RIVCO LED HEADLIGHT BULB FOR HARLEY AND INDIAN HERE (Best Harley LED Headlight Bulb)
- Check your specific fitment information

The Rivco LED headlight bulb for Harley & Indian motorcycles simply replaces your dull stock H4 halogen bulb. It will fit an array of makes and models of motorcycles and it's an easy plug and play installation. Check out the below YouTube video as we install a Rivco LED headlight bulb on a Harley. We also do a nighttime riding comparison between the Rivco LED headlight bulb for Harley & Indian & a stock Harley halogen bulb. You'll quickly realize why the Rivco LED is the best Harley LED headlight bulb out there.

You might be asking if the Rivco LED headlight bulb is as bright as a full blown aftermarket headlight replacement, meaning replacement of the entire headlight unit and not just the bulb. The answer is, no, it's not as bright as a full LED headlight replacement. However, it is a more budget-conscious option and it's still way brighter than that stock H4 halogen bulb. The Rivco is less than $100 whereas a full aftermarket LED headlight replacement for Harley is from $400-$600.

For the best full Harley & Indian LED headlight unit replacement, we suggest a Vision X XMC LED Headlight. We also did a complete review and nigh testing video on the Vision X XMC LED Headlight.

The Rivco LED headlight produces a super-bright 3000-lumen output. It is much brighter than factory H4 bulbs which range from only 1000-1650 lumens. The Rivco LED headlight kit turns nighttime darkness into the day with 6000-Kelvin of pure white light. In contrast, your factory halogen bulbs are rated at 3200-Kelvin and produce a more yellow-tinted light. The Rivco LED-100 will also allow you to see 30% farther and 15% wider than your factory halogen bulbs.

The results of our nighttime ride tests are astounding and you'll realize how unsafe it is to ride during the day or night with the stock halogen bulb. The Rivco LED headlight bulb will let you see way better when riding your motorcycle at night, but will also keep you much safer when riding during the day, as it will be seen by motorists much easier because it's so bright. Seeing a nighttime road hazard on your motorcycle just a split second earlier could save your life.

We run many Rivco LED headlight bulbs on our Harley-Davidson motorcycles here at Law Abiding Biker Media and trust them. That's why we carry them right in the Law Abiding Biker Online Store! Why settle? Get the best Harley LED headlight bulb now and ride safer!
