Video & Blog: So, we should all have a smart phone by now right? I installed several awesome GPS driving direction apps with voice turn by turn navigation on my smart phone & I have all my music on it. But, the question is what is the best way to mount your cell phone or smart phone to your motorcycle and have good visual and touch access to it? What is the safest cell phone motorcycle mount/holder, so it won’t fall out? What is the slimmest and best looking cell phone motorcycle mount. Of course, one of the issues to consider is the wide variety of cases out there and in different thicknesses.

Many have asked if I still run a cell phone motorcycle mount since I have the new Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment System and the answer is yes. As you may know we have the #1 Rated Boom!™ Box Tutorial Videos and love the system, but it has it's limitations & I feel a cell phone mount is still definitely needed for further functionality. I also need the Biker Gripper to display my smartphone while riding, so I can view real time Vance & Hines Fuelpak 3 EFI tuner information via bluetooth.
We have tested both the Biker Gripper motorcycle cell phone mount system and other motorcycle cell phone mounts for some time. We have ridden many thousands of miles with each. The overall winner in our opinion for many reasons is the Biker Gripper, which is now available directly from the Law Abiding Biker Store Front for that reason. We highly recommend the Biker Gripper to anyone who asks us for the best motorcycle cell phone mount on the market.
We like and trust this motorcycle cell phone & GPS mount so much that we stamped the Law Abiding Biker™ logo on it and it has our full approval.
The Biker Gripper immediately feels much nicer than other mounts when adjusting your smartphone's position using the ball joint and it is very smooth. The Biker Gripper is smaller than other mounts all the way around to include the ball joint. I like this, because it keeps things looking nice and tight on your handlebars. The last thing you want is a big ugly bulky motorcycle cell phone mount.

In this article we will discuss just two of the most popular Biker Gripper mounting options and systems to consider. With a Biker Gripper you could mount any item such as Smartphones, Small Digital Cameras, GoPro (Action) Cameras, Radar Detectors, Garage Door Openers, GPS Units, Toll Transponders.
Each Biker Gripper mounting system is crafted in the USA through a patent CNC process using high quality aircraft grade aluminum making your mounting system more lightweight, much better looking, and most importantly more durable.
The body of the 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 an 18 pound grip.
The grip range of the Biker Gripper head is 1.9” to 4.2”.
1.) Biker Gripper Handlebar Universal Mount System (Fits Bars 7/8″ TO 1 1/4″)(Black or Chrome)
This is likely the most versatile Biker Gripper with the universal handlebar mounts system. It comes as a complete kit in our store & includes:
- Biker Gripper head unit for holding your electronic device
- 17mm ball (black or chrome) Handlebar Universal Mount System
- 3 reducers for mounting on 7/8″ to 1 1/4″ bars
- Installation tools and instructions
This system fits current production handlebar sizes from 7/8” (22mm) up to 1 1⁄4” (32mm) into one mount system. This allows it to fit virtually every handlebar on motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV's, UTV's and other powersport vehicles. Requires only 3⁄4” of handlebar space and can be mounted at any angle.
2.) Biker Gripper Control Mount System (For Harley & Metric Motorcycles)(Black or Chrome)
This is a great Biker Gripper mount option and attaches to your handlebar control clamps (clutch or brake side). It replaces the two factory pinch bolts with new stainless bolts and spacers on handlebar controls.
This comes as a complete kit in our store and includes:
- Biker Gripper head unit for holding your electronic device
- 17mm ball (black or chrome) Control Mount with pivoting shaft
- Two sets of mounting spacers (10mm and 15mm long)
- Two 6mm x 45mm and two 1/4″x 2″ stainless mounting bolts
- Installation tools and instructions
Control Mount Fitment: (Harley-Davidson and Metric)
This mount fits a wide range of metric and all Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The control mount attaches to handlebar control clamps (clutch or brake side). It replaces the two factory pinch bolts with new stainless bolts and spacers on handlebar controls.
I hope this information helps you and saves you time from having to look all over the internet for a good motorcycle cell phone mount/holder, only to find a lot of junk and things that don’t work so well.
Ride safe. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

Thanks Roy! Appreciate it much
Greg Bird says
Does the control mount Gripper interfere at all with the mirror on a 2015 Streetglide?
Ryan Urlacher says
Nope, I run it with an iPhone 6 plus and no mirror blockage
Ken Bishop says
I just got mine yesterday & installed it “easy-peasy”, just like the video showed. I put mine on my throttle side, for an iphone 5s, and can see clearly with no obstruction on my Electra Glide.
Great mount, and pretty cool logo staring you in the face when not in use. Thanks LAB team.

Rod says
Ryan,
Thank you for your reviews, transparency in the sharing of information and for this site ! Awesome stuff! Based off of one of your first reviews of this mount (before you had it in your store for sale) I purchased one, and I love it ! It certainly has met or exceeded my expectations. In an attempt – or desire- to “clean up the look” a bit, I have been looking for a way to move my phone to the fairing. I noticed Techmount has a batwing fairing mounting plate out that appears to work with the remaining parts of this mount. Have you seen it ? Have any plans to review it ?
Thanks Again and keep the handlebars up !
Matt Couchman says
Rod,
We’ll reach out to them and discuss it. Perhaps we can get one and put it through it’s paces.
Ride Safe & Ride Often!

Gary says
Will this fit a I phone 7 plus with a outer box and do it come with a teather system just in case
Ryan Urlacher says
Yes, it will fit any sized smartphone. Easy to fit a 7 plus. Our Biker Gripper holders are so good we don’t need a tether or backup. It won’t come out. 18 lbs grip strength. We also use them on all our police Harley fleet too. Training courses, speed, dropping bikes, and all. It’s secure and won’t come out.That’s why its the best cell phone motorcycle mount in the world and the only one worthy of being listed in our official store. ==> https://shop.lawabidingbiker.com/collections/bikergripper
Joe says
I have aftermarket handlebars that are 1.513″ diameter. Do you make a phone mount for that large of a handlebar?
Ryan Urlacher says
Ours fit 7/8” (22mm) up to 1 1⁄4”
Diane Denroche says
Hi Ryan, I was able to install this myself due to the great video you provided. Thanks LAB for a great product!!
