Prepare the mount. A broken shifter lever is perfect for this project. You may be able to buy one cheaply from a bike repair shop.Use a screwdriver to disassemble the shifter lever. Discard everything but the mount. If there are any protruding parts, remove them. Alternatively, disassemble the mount of your bell or horn and just utilize the mount.

Use a grinder to remove any sharp parts.

Drilling the Blocks

Obtain a regular bolt and nut which you will use to combine the cell phone holder to the mount. Combine the holder and the mount by screwing them together. Place it on the steering for a test fit.

Now, obtain another set of bolt and nuts and install the mount to the steering.
