I'm looking for a way to mount my radar and phone to my bike. I know you can get mounts for either a radar or cell phone but can you get one that does both? Call phone needs to be in a hard case, waterproof.

It could depend on the bike you use but if you have a good amount of space on your bars I have found the ARKON SM032 is a very compatible case to keep your phone waterproof.
Here's a website link for you to check out: http://www.arkon.com/bicycle_handlebar_mount.php
Hope this helps.
Not sure about the radars sorry.

I got a dual mount thingie from RAM mounts which I stick onto a stem mount. The GPS and the RD sit side by side on it. I had to butcher it around a little to get things to fit but it wasn't that hard to do - usual brute force and ignorance seemed to work. I have a photo of it somewhere - I'll see if I can find it in the work puter later and add it to this post.

Edit: Here it is.

Thanks for the suggestions. After thinking about it a bit longer and seeing a few pics its just going to be too big having them side by side, they will block to much of the dials.

I might just get a single stem mount for the radar and find somewhere else to put the phone. Overboard do a range of water proof bags so I might just velcro one of those to the top of the tank and put the phone in that

Just looked at the RAM Mounts website and found that they dont list my GPS. I have both a Uniden and a Navman, but as both of them are NZ made they dont feature on the Yank website. I was a little suprised to find an XJR in the bike list though, as the model was never released in the states. Nearest they got was the FJR.

Anyone know of a local manufacturer that makes mounts for local product ?

Try choosing a Ram-Hol-PD2. Fits most Navman GPS

You certainly need to be able to see the instrument panel. That thing I have, mounted centrally on a right angle nobby thing can be rotated either forward or backward to give clear view of instruments. Depends on the bike and what it can fit where.
