Fix your phone to the mount, and it should start charging once the engine is running.

Quadlock

As a smart phone mounting system, Quadlock has become quite popular over the past few years. When I ordered my Bullet, I decided to go for a suitable smart phone mount that I can fix onto the handlebar near to the USB charging port near the clutch lever.

Quadlock does have numerous mounting options though, and it is unlikely that you will not find one that suits your needs. I picked and chose the items and ordered them from Quadlock Japan. But they do have a Quadlock Asia store as well from where they ship to anywhere in Asia.

Likes:

• Premium build quality
• Ease of fitment and ease of use
• Modular & interchangeable parts
• Chrome finish accessories are lovely and suit classic / retro motorcycles better
• Wireless charging is convenient and fast enough for touring
• No need to fumble around in the dark for charging cables, especially with gloves on
• Vibration dampener is essential if your motorcycle is vibey, especially if your phone comes with an image stabilizer
• No tools needed other than a standard allen key that comes in the box
• The case is solid and offers good protection. There is an optional pouch available for rain protection.
• Handlebar mount comes with adapters for almost every size of handlebar
• Wireless charging head is weatherproof, essential for outdoor applications
• Vibration dampener works well. While idling on my single cylinder 350, I can see the phone shaking. While riding, it is really stable.

Dislikes:

• Depending on the options one chooses, it can get quite expensive
• Wireless charging head is bulky and so ugly that it can act as the kaala teeka on your beautiful motorcycle
• Once you invest into the Quadlock ecosystem, you are pretty much stuck with their cases
• Regular wireless chargers may or may not work with the Quadlock case, depending on your luck

Components:

Suitable case for your make and model of smartphone

Necessary components as per your mounting needs

Handlebar mount

Vibration dampener

Wireless charging head with varying lengths of USB cables

Fitment:

Each component fits onto the other with allen key bolts and splines. Adjusting and fixing the orientation is easy and precise. The CNC machined components feel solid and built-to-last. The fitment itself is really easy. I believe the pictures self explanatory. More than happy to answer any questions.

Disassemble the handlebar mount

Fix the mount onto the handlebar with the right spacer

Fixing the vibration dampener to the mounting 'arm'

It is easier to adjust if you fix it directly on to the motorcycle, piece-by-piece

Wireless charging head goes on last

To fix or remove your smartphone, gently press the tab on the left side. The little LED shows the ON / OFF charging state.

Fix a USB cable of suitable length from your motorcycle's charging port to the charging head.

Insert your phone into the Quadlock case.

Fix your phone to the mount, and it should start charging once the engine is running.
