I finally got myself a Sat Radio. The install was my big hold up. I found the chrome handlebar bracket at a bike show in Toronto in April. I really didn't want a big ugly box of a tuner on my handlebars blocking the sound from the speaker it was in front of. The Sirius Sportster is nice and compact and easy to use even with gloves on.
So far I'm having a real blast crusing with unlimited tunes and talk shows.
Luvin' it.

 

hey wally, I want to do the same on my roadglide. where did you put the ant? did you tie power to the acc switch or are you using the cig lighter? would you mind emailing me a few photos of the install? Thanks
Chuck

 

I'd like to see some more pics too. I was thinking about mounting my Kenwood Sirius radio to my bike too , but I'm afraid it won't stand up to the elements. That green looks awesome too...

 

Mike,
That sure don't look like a Sirius Sportster. I've got that exact brand in my truck and it sure don't look like yours. THey may have redesigned it. Can we see a close-up picture?

 

What he has is the Sirius Replay which is what I have on my Road Glide. I hard wired everything and put the antenna on top of the HD radio inside the fairing.

Here are some pix of my install.

I just stuffed mine in the dash pouch.

 

Thundercloud would appear to be right. I must have gotten mixed up i was looking at quite a few different ones at the store. Anyways it is a Sirius unit.
I don't have anymore pics, but, I'll try Tomorrow to take some and post them here.

I don't expect it to sit there in the rain, if (when) it rains I'll unplug and go back to regular FM.
The antenna is stuck to the top of the radio inside the fairing. It needs to be right at the front of the radio in the north so when I'm heading north it will still aquire the signal without having to go through too much stuff (like the dash).
It works real good in there, picking up the signal inside my garage, no problem.
The power I clipped onto the cigarette lighter wires so they are switched to the ignition.
Next winter I'll hopefully run the wires inside the bars.
PrplRdKing, thanks for the compliment. I really like the green, it's a real head turner.
I decided to put it on the right bar as I can still reach some of the buttons without letting go of the throttle and my hand doesn't block the titles etc.

 

Whoops, zigged when I should have sagged!

 

I like that set-up. I was thinking of doing something similiar on my RK Police but don't know how to run the audio w/o a built-in radio & fairing.

 

What is the cost for one of those?? I like the size of it. Nice small package.
