Custom GPS handlebar mount for Honda DN-01

I'm trying very hard to find some way to attach a gps (my cell phone- Droid X) to my mc (Honda DN-01) handlebars.
The problem is is that my handlebars have a housing over them (looks great) but I can't use a traditional mc handlebar mount kit to attach to the bike.
I've tried "googling" mounts but no luck in finding something.
Does anyone know of a "specialty" shop that could possibly make something to fit my bike or do I/ should I try to create something on my own?

The DN-01 is so new I doubt there are any custom mounts built for it yet. Check with your Honda dealer. Also try the Verizon store to see what they have for mounting the Droid X to a dashboard, mated to RAM mount may fit your needs. Good Luck.

Looked up the DN-01 pages on the Honda website, I see what you mean about the handlebars. Honda surely out-clevered themselves with this bike. There's no place to put anything, and very little in the way of OEM accessory support.

Found what I Needed:
A website Ram Mounts (http://www.ram-mounts.com) had a side reservoir mount & universal PDA holder that worked perfectly.
