Hi i'm looking for idea to install phone mount + GPS (Ram mount) to R18 bike. I'd prefer a clean look, not too much.
Please share some photo, models, idea. Thank you

Try the quadlock system. You must buy the entire kit: 1)Specific Phone Case (what makes very minimalistic the look because there is no permanent base or case on the handlebar); 2) Handlebar mount; and 3) Antivibration device, for not to damage last generation smart phones (is very very important because our bike “rocks”). About the GPS, no comments
For GPS mounting this company makes a nice clean mount that is compatible with all RAM arms and accessories.

I've seen an elegant solution somewhere, with a ball replacing one of the riser bolts, but I can't retrieve it yet.

I just installed two 1" RAM balls on the handlebar for the phone & GPS mounts. Wiring them for power is trickier because I want clean wiring that won't look like crap when the phone or GPS are not in use. So far I've ran power from under the LH side cover, under the tank, to the GPS. I haven't decided yet how I'll run power to the cell phone, but that cable will also be used for the GoPro as well. I'm still designing the mount for the GoPro.
In the photos below, the two mounts are installed. But then I realized that they were too high, so I pivoted them down, as shown in the photo with just the Tomtom GPS.
