I am needing a mount and charger for my smart phone (currently a Galaxy S7).  This will mount to a 2015 RT.  What would you suggest?

I've used both on my 2015 R1200 RT.  Both work well, it just depends on how you want to mount the device and your budget


With regard to charging your phone, I use a USB plug-in to the BMW power outlet and then run my phone charger wire from the device to my phone as I ride.  Here's what you want:  http://www.powerlet.com/product/powerlet-plug-to-dual-usb-adapter-21a/698

I'm a fan of the Perfect Squeeze phone mount.  The tightening screw is secured with a ball detent so it won't vibrate loose.

For charging I'd suggest running a USB cable from the USB connection in the dash pocket, to the phone.
