    Yep, for the number of options open to you, it’s got to be Quadlock.

    I went with Quad Lock Handlebar Clamp Mount Pro (SKU:QLM-HBC-PRO) and mounted it to upper left side of the clamp. I also used vibration dampener. Loving it so far.

    My original plan was to extend a USB-C Cable (iPhone 15) from the USB socket under the seat but I am looking to install Quad Lock's wireless charger either either the factory USB socket or tap into 12V switched port somewhere in the bike.

    They didn’t have that mount when i concocted my mount that you can see in my previous post above.

    Have you actually tried it out yet? The reason I ask is that it looks to sit fairly high and if you are going to put the wireless charger on top you may find the phone partially obscures the clocks.

    Also before you make your decision to go for the Quadlock charger think about any other auxiliary power requirements you might require in the future, like cameras etc. Have a look below at this dual port charger I have installed on my Striple which has both USB A and C outlets. As for where to find a switched power supply your easiest solution is to run back to the OE USB charger under the seat and use piggyback connectors on your new power leads. You will need a multimeter to determine the correct terminals to connect to on the OE unit as it’s not obvious from cable colour and it has three terminals.

    Wow this is a nice setup. I'll have to look into it.

    As for the height, the unit comes with a few adjustment spacers. I kept both spacers for the time being, and the set up does not obstruct any views at the instrument cluster except one light on lower left. I will be tweaking this in the coming weeks and months.

    As for the wireless charger option from Quad Lock, I have been using one for my other motorbike for the last few years, and it works flawlessly. (USB-able version.) I ride daily year-round.

    Can you share more information about this charger unit on your handlebar?

    One other option I am exploring is using the AUX port (always on, 5A fuse) under the tank to add DIN socket port for trickle charger and DIN to USB to charge my phone even when the bike is in off mode. Of course the adaptor needs to be removed when not in use.

    Here are the details of my USB A and C charger. As you can see, a lot cheaper than the Quadlock unit at £40.

    Regarding power take offs I have fitted one of these Optimate units to my Striple. It gives me a power port that I can choose the fuse rating for which can also be used to connect my Optimate to and even when not in use will display the charge status of the battery.

    With the auxiliary port being always on there is the chance of forgetting that you have something connected and depleting the battery.

    However, my own preference for a power take off is to have it triggered by the ignition being switched on. Easy enough to do. When I installed the auxiliary lamps on the Striple I ran the power supply from the battery through a fused relay trigged by piggybacking off of one of the connections on the OE USB charger.
