Phone mount? Quadlock with their Vibration Mount.
Yep, highly recommended, and you can get other mounts for cars, boats, desks etc...Phone mount? Quadlock with their Vibration Mount.
Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll enjoy your bike.Hey all! My name is Justin. I'm from Iowa and I just purchased a 2023 GS. I'm 34 and I just took the motorcycle class last weekend and I take my written DOT test tomorrow early afternoon.
My helmet and jacket aren't coming in until next Wednesday so I will be waiting to pick it up until then, but I am jazzed!
I have wanted a bike for ever. A lot of my friends have one, and my dad owns a GS 750 (I think). I was initially looking at the Ninja 400 but the more research I did (and a little nudging from the ol man) got me researching the 310 more and more and I cannot wait to pick it up.
A couple of things I was hoping for recommendations on was a phone mount (I am directionally challenged a bit, so I want to be able to have GPS up) and if you all use/have recommendations for dash cams. I have a gopro, but would almost rather have something always there.
Thanks all! Looking forward to being a part of the community!

Very nice! After spending what I did on the quad lock tho I don't think I'll swap. I appreciate the recommendation though!Cheers from Bulgaria, Justin. I bought the Givi phone mount (mounts in the center, just above the cluster) and I LOVE IT!!!
I have been using my Pixel 5 and a fancy "chinese" 5G phone (both at the same time) with the Givi mount (+ a cheap $5 handlebar mount) for 2 years and it's been super perfect...zero issues. The big phone on the Givi runs Waze, the Pixel runs Google Maps. Works really well for my use case (I just cruise the Bulgarian farm/village/seaside backroads).Welcome Justin. A couple of us have picked up an old phone just to use for map/navigation use. Eliminates the worry about vibration damage previously mentioned as well as physical damage or theft. I grabbed a Samsung S7 for $30 that works great with Kurviger and Google Maps.
Might want to give some thought to a Helite airbag jacket or vest. Not sure what the drivers and traffic are like there in Iowa, but around here it is pretty bad.
