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.

Beware of Harley WHIM Headset Module Firmware Update! Missing Boom Box Configuration Menu!

May 4, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

Missing “config” tab and “status”

Since updating my Harley-Davidson Wireless Headset Interface Module “WHIM” to the latest version 1.1.4 firmware I have been having problems. My Harley stamped Sena 30k mesh & 20s wireless Bluetooth headsets will pair & I can hear music, however, the status and configuration menu tab in the Harley Boom Box menu are missing along with other audio settings. (see video below with detailed info)

Make sure you see my previous WHIM video and article on this issue

How Wireless Headset Screen Should Look

Also, after updating the Harley WHM firmware, each time I go into the Boom Box wireless headset menu it shows it’s disabled and I have to enable it again. After much testing, I decided to revert to an older WHIM firmware update, version 1.0.2, and it immediately fixed the problem on two separate WHIM modules I was testing. Clearly, version 1.1.4 is corrupt and can break your Harley WHIM. I really hope this helps many in the biker community diagnose and fix this issue.

This process may or may not work for you and any testing or reverting of firmware is at your own risk.

WHIM version 1.0.2

Motorcycle Lane Splitting is for Fools?

March 25, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

In the below video, I talk about the fact that motorcycle lane splitting or lane filtering may be legalized and coming to your state in 2019? California is still the only state where motorcycle lane splitting is legal and many other states are watching closely. Unfortunately, lane splitting has become a rather controversial topic. Mostly, by those that don't understand the many benefits of motorcycle lane splitting & don't ride motorcycles themselves.

The following states are in different stages of possibly legalizing motorcycle lane splitting:

Maryland, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and Hawaii. If legalized, each state has its own ideas and rules on how motorcycle lane splitting can be done. Examples are, whether it can only be done when traffic is stopped and at what speeds you can actually do it.

Video-Winter Sucks for Riding-Storm Warnings & High Winds-Vlog

February 10, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Winter hit us hard suddenly here in Eastern Washington State. We have had near zero temps, snow, and wind gusts up to 50mph. These are not the best conditions for riding motorcycles. This is just a quick vlog of what's going on. I'm shoveling snow like a madman to try and get rid of the snow drifts in front of the Law Abiding Biker Shop and Studio so when things thaw we can get the bikes out and ride! We're still producing podcast and videos here for the biker community, regardless of the snow and weather situation.

Testing New Lithium-Ion Battery For My Harley? Too Expensive?

September 11, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher 3 Comments

I was in the Law Abiding Biker Garage testing & installing a new lithium-ion battery for my Harley Davidson motorcycle. I’ve tested other brand lithium-ion motorcycle batteries but wanted to test a new brand for the biker community. My old lead-acid battery went bad in two years, which sucks. Although lithium-ion batteries for motorcycles cost more, they have many benefits over lead-acid batteries.

Check out our very popular lead-acid vs lithium-ion battery for Harley video.

Review-2019 Harley-Davidson Boom Box GTS Infotainments System | Must Know Info

September 1, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher 12 Comments

In late August 2018 Harley-Davidson released a new version of their Infotainment System they're calling the Harley Boom Box GTS. This system was preceded by the old Boom Box 4.3 and 6.5 systems, which have been around since their release in 2014 on project Rushmore models. (see my very popular review video at the bottom of this article)

I tested the new Harley Boom Box GTS Infotainment System thoroughly so that I could relate to you what it can and can’t do. The new Boom Box GTS has Apple Car Play, but not Android Auto. The only way to get Apple Car Play to appear on the system is to purchase and install a Harley Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM), which will allow you to pair a Harley branded Sena 20s EVO wireless Bluetooth headset with the Boom Box GTS. You’ll need to purchase and pair the Harley branded 20s headset and then make sure your iPhone is plugged into the Boom Box and then Apple CarPlay will appear and function.

The entire screen on the new Harley Boom Box GTS is now touchscreen and all physical buttons are gone. Everything on the new Harley Boom Box operates like you’d expect on a smartphone, such as pinch to zoom and scrolling with your fingers. And yes, this includes the GPS maps and navigation.

Harley says that the touchscreen is just as responsive even while using it with motorcycle riding gloves. It also has a more detailed screen and better contrast for viewing on those bright days.

CHECK FOR OUR HARLEY BOOM BOX GTS TUTORIAL VIDEOS HERE

Although the new 2019 Harley Boom Box GTS has many improvements over its predecessor, it still has many nuances and has a definite learning curve. There are some things that are a bit hidden and not obvious to a standard user. There were also bugs when we were trying to pair a Harley Sena 20s headset to the Boom Box GTS and it kept failing, but after four tries it finally worked. Bugs and issues are the legacies of the older Boom Box 4.3 and 6.5 versions, so I really hope this is not a clue on what’s to come.

New 2019 Harley-Davidson Models-First Look-Serious Failure? Boom Box GTS? FXDR 114?

August 26, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

I am reviewing the new 2019 Harley-Davidson models. Harley-Davidson released its new 2019 line-up of motorcycles on August 21, 2018, in San Diego, CA. (see review video below).

Check out the new Softail FXDR 114 as it's a brand new innovative performance bike by Harley & I'm super excited about it. Some Harley touring bikes such as the Street Glide Special, Road Glide Special, and the Road King special now get the Milwaukee-Eight 114 CI motor and are blacked out instead of chrome.

On the new 2019 Harley-Davidson models, there is finally an upgrade to the Harley Boom Box Infotainment System for 2019 models. It's called the Boom Box GTS and it looks like a much better user interface than the previous version. The entire Boom Box GTS unit is touchscreen and it has Apple Car Play! Finally Harley, about time! The new Boom Box GTS does not and will not have Android Auto. You also must have your iPhone plugged in via lightning cable to utilize Apple Car Play. We'll have to see if this Harley Boom Box works any better than the older version on 2014-2018 models.

There are also 3 Harley CVO models that are sure to catch your attention.

Although I really support Harley-Davidson, I'm not afraid to give my opinion about how they are failing at connecting with their actual core customers. They really need to change the way they are marketing and get back on track with their real brand loyal customers.
