There is lots of zumo info here at HD forums, but the search isn't working great I hear.
if you want click on my user name and search my posts, you'll find several links to HD forums threads on Zumo topics.
Or,go here for some more info www. zumoforums. com
good luck

I have a Ultra and just bought the Garmin zumo 550 and i am trying figure the best way to mount the xm antenna, any ideas???
My Zuma 500 is installed on my LT handlebar. the aux wire and XM antanna wire goes down the bar the same as the other wires and into the fairing. the antenna goes inside the fairing. Make sure you put it in the side thats permanent. If you put it on the head light side, you will have to unhook it all the time if you want to get the fairing off. Mine works perfect.

Hi Rick,

Hey don't feel bad, I'm at tri-focals now.
Just remember, glass's make one distinguished ! lol
once you get used to useing it, you don't have to look very often.
minnor adjustments I do on the fly,
Re-routes I pull over,
Now it seems things just happen to quick for me at 50 plus MPH when I take my eyes and attention off the road for 30 seconds or more
Playing peek a boo with the road isn't as fun as it used to be either. lol

Have you found the zumoforums.com site yet,
and another gret and helpful site is poi-factory.com

good luck with all your new adventures

Works best sitting on top of radio under the fairing. Magnet holds it in place without a problem.

From the back of the lighter. The center post is hot. You can also use the ground which is on the side of the lighter adapter.

Or you can use the spare boot covered wires attached at the end of your headlight pigtail. I have my fairing off and just have to decide where I want to hook mine up. I wired in a two pole flat connector in line so I can easily remove the cradle.
