Default audio tank pouch

Anyone used the ipod tank pouch (part no. 91003-10 page 404) offered in the Harley accessory catalog? I have a touch, looks like it would work OK if the magnets are strong enough to hold it in place.

Get a silicone sleeve for the I-Pod and an elastic band like the joggers use, after attaching the band to the sleeve, wrap the band around your right control/master cylinder and the I-Pod will be laying against the handlebars facing you.

A cheap set up that can be used on and off the bike....get one of those retractable 1' or 2' cables to hook into your AUX port/I-Pod and your set.

I have one of the new pouches and it does work really well...just make sure you wipe the area down where you are going to put it just so as to prevent any dirt or dust under the magnets...figure to help prevent any potential for scracthe but I haven't had any problems so far.

I bought one...and it is great. I put a full size ipod touch in it and it holds it very securely!

Thanks, 40 bucks seems a little high but if it works well it's worth it.

Many here use a variety of HD dealers that mark off retail up to 20% and especially if you have several items you want, then the shipping is not a big deal.

It's a shame they don't make this mount for Harley's yet...

I bought one of these pouches today. First I had to modify the hole, for the connection, with my pocket knife, to my iPhone 3G. It didn't line up at all. Secondly, I have no faith in the magnets. It is very easy to peal it off from the front. I can almost see the wind scooping it up and blowing it off.

In conclusion, for $40 dollars, it could have lined up better, especially since they use the iPhone or touch in their ad. Also, they could have used flexible magnetic strips instead of four weak mags.

I will buy a cheap iPhone case, add mags and have a much better product for much less money. I mght even sell them.

I bought and returned it. It's junk. It was huge compared to my IPod, had to cut it to fit the cord, the clear cover didn't have enough "feel" to work the ipod. Just not a good buy

Default Beware

I was looking at the same pouch and my dealer warned me not to use with a touch or iphone. They have had a few people purchase and the magnets erased all the memory!
