Satellite Radio
I was wondering if anyone has hooked up a satellite radio reciever to their ride. If so, how? (ie bracket, wiring, wireless headphones, ect...).
Thanks in advance Ride on... |

Save your money and just hook a car kit up on the bike. I have XM on mine. I just bought the radio with the car kit, and stuck the base onto the triple.
You will need to wire in a power outlet to the battery. I say the battery, because I tried wiring it into the lighting circuit and I got a tone of alternator wine. After you're wired up, just run the cables to wherever you decide to mount it. I set the antenna on top of my brake fluid reservoir, and have no troubles with it there. All in all you will end up with a little bit of extra wire to hide, mainly the antenna wire, but it's an easy installation. Most carkits have a line out jack that you can either hook into a communicator, or plug a pair of headphones into. Here's a picutre of mine all set up along with my gps. Attachment 29434 |

No doubt, you are all set up to put on some miles in style. How did you mount the car kit to the triple? Zip ties? Hard to tell from the pics. Also, double sided tape to mount the antenna to the brake resevoir?

I mounted the car kit to the triples with double sided sticky tape. For the antenna I used the double sided tape again and put a small, thin piece of galvanized steel cut to fit, so the antenna is held on by the magnet.
I'll take some more pictures tonight after work of the base and post them up. |
