Default XM Radio

Does anyone have experience with the XM Radio for Harley? I have a RK and I am thinking about getting one to use with Helmet earphones. I sure would like to get some ideas about how well it works before spending the money.

Thank you.

I have one and it works fine, integrated into the H&K sound system. I can switch between an MP3 CD, XM, and the radio by just pushing the button on the right handlebar. I would rather have Sirus, but XM is fine for motorcycling.

Really like the dealer installed XM on my '07 Ultra. But much more spendy than the Zuma route.

I purchased the Harley XM unit and I lose the signal all the time. I live in the White Mtns. of NH. I was informed the XM satellite has a much lower orbit than Sirius. Problem is, there isn't one available like the XM unit.

I had a roady II on my old bike wit no radio just headphones it worked fine, but volum control was hard. I now have it on my Electra Glide with the XM through the CD port. Works great, dont listen to anything else.

If you're serious about satelite radio, you need to get Sirius.
EDIT: But isn't Sirius and XM one of the same these days?

I had XM put on my New 07 Ultra and then when I bought an 08 Ultra, I had harley tech swich it over for me. Would not leave homw without it. It's the best 500.00 I ever spent on a bike. We travel alot and it keeps us company . Also, living in Southeast, We can now listen to Alabama games on it when they are playing and we are out of town. Bldr

According to Sirius, they will start offering a mixed package of Sirius/XM on Oct. 6. I haven't seen the package being offered, but I understand You will get all the sports, music and talk for a price of $16 a month. Can't wait as I now have GM Vehicles with XM and have 1 Sirius just for the Nascar channel.
