:rotflmao:

anyway, you can always hire a guy, I think his name is Kurt Cobain... he is very good in destroying Fenders ...

What?? He is dead???
Oh, I'm sorry then: can't help you!

Cant help ya with the rr fender, but you can get a mount for your phone here...http://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?page_function=detail&product_id=177 (http://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?page_function=detail&product_id=177)

I have one and works great. Mounts right to the handlebar bolts. Look under products--->accessories for a holder for your iphone...although I don't see one for iPhone 5?? Maybe give em a call. I have a similar setup for a garmin GPS. I typically keep my phone on me tho. If you ever get separated from your bike, it's prob a good idea to have your phone on you...just a thought :)  Welcome!

Those were 2 seperate questions.
1. Recommendations for a mount for an iphone ( not on a fender obviously)
2. Recommendations for a rear fender eliminator.
Thanks in advance ,

An FE is one of the first things I do; the rear fenders on today's motorcycles are as ugly (or uglier in some instances) as the stock can in my opinion.  Several companies make fender eliminators that will work for the Connie.  If they don't make one specifically for the C14 the one for a ZX14 should also work.  I got mine from Competition Werkes and they didn't show one for the C14 so I got the one for ZX14 and it was a perfect fit.  Muzzy's and several others make them too, just do a Google search and you'll find a bunch.   Don't have an iPhone and don't mount what I have to the bike so I can't help you there.

You drinking again Jim?   :chugbeer:

Easy on the new guy.

If you have your Iphone in a case you are going to want to go with the universal RAM mount.

You have lots of options for a fender eliminator. I have one a local guy makes here in Oregon NWRF.

Do some searches on ebay and you will find an eliminator cheaper.

Easy?  Never!  I treat everyone like family...with humor and few grains of salt.  Seriousness is not an option.  :rotflmao:
