Good video on the Quad Lock. I had an experiance where I had ordered some things from them, for some reason it shipped from Singapore, was quickly turned over from DHL to some other shipping company and from there, nothing happened. After about a month I contacted them and told them what had happened and that I had paid for 10-12 days shipping. Guess what? They sent a replacement (all 3 items), from Singpore, they credited me the shipping, and it arrived in Sweden the NEXT DAY. Excellent customer service. About grippy case. I ve got a solution for you. Use the grippy case for your fruit phone and just by the universal adaptor from quad lock. It is just the connecting piece that is superglued to the back of your case. It is also way cheaper than buying the quad lock case. They also have a magnetic version in case your in for wireless charging.
@@SpyderChrisYT Glad if I could help, your channel has given me a lot of good information. Just search quad lock universal adapter on your favourite search engine and it should find it.
I bought Tackform cellphone mounts for both of my Spyders from MotorcycleDave’s. They have the anti vibration option and a ram mount that uses one of the handlebar mounting bolts to secure it. The Tackform is great, holds very securely without chance of improper installation, requires no special dingus on the back of my phone case which doesn’t take up anymore space in my pocket. It’s very quick to mount the phone securely and just as fast to remove it. It can also handle any modern phone with or without a case.
Great information on the quad lock. I got the BRP Go app to function on day 1 on my Spyder with my android phone. I use the Sygic gps app when I need to and I use an old iPod with a jack to listen to music (eventually, the music will end up on my phone when the iPod ceases to function). The only thing mounted to my handlebars is my bottle holder. To me, it all depends on what you are comfortable with what you use and what functionalities you are looking for when you ride. Cheers Chris!
You can't wireless charge with the case on. That's a no-go right there. The cases are slick because it's a cheaper material than grippy ones. For what these cost, they can have better cases.
I don't use the BRP system either on my '22 F3. I'm happy using my iPhone connected to a Cardo comm unit. I also use a Quad Lock in the same location. I haven't had an issue with the mount or the case so far with my iPhone 13. I try to make sure that I get a positive lock with it before I set off, including wiggling the heck out of the phone. The new 2024 Spyders with Carplay look pretty nice. That might be the only way I'd give up my current setup. Beautiful scenery, btw!
I've gone back and forth between using the BRP and compatible apps, versus not using it all and just using my android phone and my Cardo Packtalk Bold. I saw a video on a product called Carpuride that looked pretty cool. It's basically iPhone Carplay or Android Auto on a separate display. Multiple display sizes. Looked pretty cool really but not cheap. I'm almost to the point where I need to get a new phone, so once I do that I'll look again at mount options. Thanks for the video Chris. Ride safe.
Is there a reason that you didn't buy the charging base? I have it and love it. Once I snap my phone on the quad lock on the handlebars and I start the bike it immediately starts charging. I never have to worry about a dead battery on my phone from usingg the phone as a GPS device and as a player (either Sirius, Apple Music, Spotify, etc.).
Good luck with your new machine! I used the standard mount that comes with the Quad Lock. They provide a few different sized rubber washers that fit between the bars and the mount. Congrats on your new ride!

I didn’t even know that was an option. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!

I have the quad lock with a charging base and vibration isolation adapter.
Does the Tackform have a charging base?
@@rdeliohvac A wireless charging option from Tackform is available at a higher cost but I didn’t go that route.

Agree 100%. Use what works best for you.

Thank you! Regarding RTs, current design came out in 2020 so I’m guessing it will be revamped in the next year or two.

Been thinking about the quad lock. Hummmmm.

I didn’t really know much about that device when I started using Quad Locks. It’s something I need to consider.
What type of handlebar bracket did you use for the QuadLock? Picking up my RT Limited next week!

You should consider a tether on you cell phone to the bike…
That would have saved me a lot of heartache. Something I should consider.
