If you don't use the rain cover, might want to use a plastic wire tie to make sure the unit doesn't vibrate off the cradle.

I've had XM in my truck and in the house for over 4 yrs now. I swear by them. I live in a rural area in the mtns so the reception on FM or AM is almost zero even with a good radio. XM is loud and clear with a full signal

Thanks! The cradle you see above the Satellite Radio is my Ram Mount for my Garmin GPS76CS. For now, I'm keeping that one on the bike and will upgrade to something newer in a year or so, after prices have come done a bit.

Once I get my MCC modified stock seat (Friday delivery), I'll pull the Winter seat off (SunRay Premium Heated Seat) and put the MCC mod'd stock seat on til mid-November'ish.

Other than that, only a couple pieces of chrome that I 'may' add...and I am D O N E for a long time (I've spent far too much this year already )

Put the rain cover on once I was done with the install due to the constant rain we've had lately...

...I know we need the moisture, but could we at least have good weather on the weekends for riding?

KoalaCowboy,

What mount & cover did you use? I like your look & interested in doing the same to my Ultra.

I have the XM puck for the Zumo with the lifetime subscription. Pretty cool, have been a fan of sat for 5 years.

Wife has XM in her SUV. Personally I've never seen the value in paying for radio like that, especially when I have the ability to play MP3's through my Garmin, or any other MP3 compatible device.

I bought an XM unit once, played with it for a few days, then removed it. My MP3 library is full of songs I actually like, and I don't have to flip through stations to find a song I want to listen to. Just hit the <SHUFFLE> button and let her play. Every song is a good song.

To each his own though.

Concur with all the above, I hardly ever listen to the radio any more.
