Let’s Talk About Voodoo Cycle House Indian FTR 1200 S FTR1200 Carbon / Rally Chief VINTAGE Scout CNC Handlebar – Mirr

Voodoo Cycle House FTR1200 Carbon / Rally Chief CNC Handlebar Phone Mount — Review: Worth it?

If you ride an Indian FTR 1200, Scout, Chief or a similar cruiser/bobber and you want a secure, low-cost phone mounting solution that looks the part, you’re weighing a few trade-offs: solid build vs. price, vibration control vs. visibility, and clamp fitment vs. mirror-mount options. The Voodoo Cycle House CNC Handlebar / Mirror Phone Holder promises CNC-machined aluminum construction, a 360° rotating head, and compatibility with most smartphones — all for a budget-friendly price. I spent time installing and riding with this mount across city streets and a few highway runs to see whether it’s worth the money.

Why this product exists

Riders want their phone visible for navigation, music, and quick calls, but many cheap mounts wiggle, scratch handlebars, or fail under vibration. Motorcycle-specific mounts need to hold up to sustained vibration and be easy to position while delivering a clean look that matches the bike’s style. The Voodoo Cycle House mount aims to deliver a metal, CNC-machined alternative to plastic holders while offering both handlebar and mirror-base mounting to suit different cockpit setups.

Specifications & Materials

Real-world experience

Installation

• Mounting: The package includes either the handlebar clamp base or the mirror-mount option depending on variant. Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools — align, clamp, and torque to spec. The CNC machining means tolerances are tight and bolts thread cleanly.
• Fitment notes: Check handlebar tube diameter and mirror stem thread compatibility before ordering. On my FTR1200 test bike the handlebar clamp sat flush and didn’t interfere with controls.

On-road performance

• Stability: The aluminum body feels solid in use. On smooth city streets the phone stayed secure with no detectable slippage. On coarse pavement and light country roads I noticed moderate vibration transferred through to the phone — acceptable for navigation but not as damped as mounts with rubber shock systems.
• Adjustability: The 360° rotating head is useful for switching between landscape navigation and portrait maps while stopped. The locking hardware holds position well when tightened properly.
• Phone protection: An anti-slip mat is included and helps prevent vibration-induced rotation. It’s thin — it protects from scratches and grip but won’t fully isolate heavy impacts.

Daily usability

• Visibility: The mount positions the screen in a natural line of sight without blocking instrumentation on the FTR. Mirror-mount users should verify sightlines as it sits a bit higher.
• Compatibility with cases: The clamp supports most smartphone sizes, but very thick cases or battery packs may reduce clamping effectiveness. For larger phones consider removing bulky cases for the most secure fit.
• Finish & durability: The anodized black and silver finishes looked clean after weeks of use with no chipping. Aluminum will scratch under heavy abuse, but the CNC finish feels premium at this price point.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High perceived build quality for the price — CNC-machined aluminum feels robust.
• Versatile mounting options (handlebar or mirror mount) suit different bikes and rider preferences.
• 360° rotation for portrait and landscape viewing.
• Anti-slip mat protects phone surface and reduces minor rotation.
• Affordable at $24.99 (compare at $29.99) with multiple color options to match your bike.

Cons

• Limited vibration damping — not ideal for heavy off-road or race-style riding without an additional isolator.
• May require fiddling to clear cables, mirrors, or controls depending on bike geometry.
• Very large phones with thick cases can be a tight fit or may need a different clamp style.

Quick comparison with competitors

Who should buy this?

• Owners of Indian FTR1200, Scout, Chief, and similar cruisers or bobbers who want a clean, metal look that matches their bike.
• Budget-conscious riders who want CNC-machined construction without spending on premium proprietary systems.
• Commuters and weekend riders who primarily use navigation and media on paved roads.

Not the best choice for riders who regularly tackle off-road trails, aggressive touring on very rough roads, or those who require absolute zero vibration for stabilized video capture — in those cases spend more on vibration-damping mounts or a proprietary locking system.

Final verdict

The Voodoo Cycle House CNC Handlebar / Mirror Phone Mount is a solid value. It delivers a metal, CNC-machined feel, useful mounting flexibility, and a clean aesthetic that suits modern classics and cruisers — all at an accessible $24.99 USD. It doesn’t completely eliminate vibration and isn’t a substitute for heavier-duty, vibration-isolating mounts, but for everyday street riding and navigation it performs admirably.

Bottom line: If you want a sturdy, stylish phone mount that matches the look of your Indian or custom bike without breaking the bank, this is worth considering. For hardcore off-road use or ultra-stable video work, look at higher-end options.

Where to buy & special offers

If you’re ready to buy, the mount is available in black or silver finishes and in handlebar or mirror-mount variants for $24.99 USD (compare at $29.99).

If you want a recommendation: choose the handlebar clamp variant for a lower, more integrated look; pick the mirror mount if you want the screen positioned higher and centered for easier sightlines.
