I just picked up a 2000 R1100r and am looking for recommendations on a good mount and charger for an IPhone 13 pro.

RAM used to make a ball mount that would screw in on top of the front brake master cylinder lid. My 1996 RT has one that was installed by the previous owner. Not sure if they still make it now.

Not this one!
FWIW I installed this mount from Ram this season and do not recommend it:

Fit and finish is fine enough but it vibrates really badly and it appears that it damaged my iPhone [camera view/pic is wobbly and won't take clear pics except in selfie mode, thankfully
]
I have a traditional mount on my Duc and it works fine; advise something that sits firmly on the bike vs suspended in the air like this.
YMMV!

Repeated exposure to excessive vibration and and resulting camera problems have been documented before.

I think that the iPhone being on during the vibration is the problem as it’s constantly trying to “correct” itself.
Probably just fine in a shirt or jacket breast pocket.
