And the other fringe is trading CVO's every 6 months? 

That wouldn't be a 'fringe' to me.   Don't want to trade that often.  I love the one I'm with.  har!  spyder

Hey Porthole, post another pic of your's sticking up there on that pretty red bike and let me see if it looks as FUGLY as it does on my non-red bike.     har.  spyder

This is geezerglides - I don't care for this at all

This is mine. I am not real thrilled with it, but it is the best alternative to keep the antenna flexible.

Keep in mind though Spyder, no matter what you do it will always look better on Red

No need to move it to the other vehicles, as they already have a mfg. GPS in them from the factory.  One of the fringes of my occupation of choice

My occupation of choice which supply my work vehicles, won't let us have non issued radios in the vehicles for fear we may have too much fun with our jobs 

And they haven't yet realized how valuable a GPS in the vehicle could be.

Anyway, I move my GPS and the antenna to
my bike
my pickup (which has XM but not activated)
my little boat
my big boat
any boat I may be working on for the day
and my camper to name a few.
So although a little inconvenient it does offer a lot of flexibility with the radio

Good Deal, Colbalt...........XM also?  spyder

You bet.  XM is our only supplier of sat. radio as of the 2008 model year.  May be a moot point if the two companies every hook up.

Hey, hey....If you recall, I no longer own a leaker, oh, I mean a 110 engine .  No patience to wait on the MoCo to fix it, so I traded her in for a plain ole 2008 non CVO, non leaking (at least not yet ) 96 incher!!   

Unlike our friend Hoist, I do not want to spend another $10k building it the right way, so I just let her go to a new home.  If you see me at a get together, I'll be the guy in the back trying to keep up with all you bid dog engine guys and gals,  and swerving to avoid all of the oil slicks you are laying down  

On second thought, maybe I should go ahead of you guys

    You could have went with an 04 or 05 SEEG as an alternative.  Probably considered that. 

Like you implied, you'll have just as much fun on the non-CVO.......just might take you a minute or two to get there.  Enjoying the ride, just the same.

Well, Porthole, the 1st thing is that I can't believe that the FD would not realize how valuable a GPS could be to you all in certain situations.  2nd, you've done as good a job with that fugly XM antenna/radio with the too long cord as can be done to still keep it 'portable'.  I've racked my lil feeble brain to try to figure a better way with nothing yet.  Will keep at it and maybe will come up with a  someday.  In the meantime, it's gonna have to reside in the lower pocket for portability or under the fairing for a cleaner look.  spyder

[porthole]

Will keep at it and maybe will come up with a  someday. 

And when you do I'm sure it will cost me money . bring it on I say 

[SilverDawg]

I'll say!  And Fugly too!  I can't wait for you to hook up the gps and let me know how it functions for you under the fairing.  The only downside if it picks up well, is you're not being able to move the XM radio function with your GPS to another vehicle.     spyder

Sorry for the delay, but it is working great.  Only problem I have is that the volume does not appear to go as loud as the CD and FM.  I have it cranked all the way in the Zumo's settings.  I'll have to post in the Zumo forum to see if they can help.

[SilverDawg]

Duh, I need to crank the volume on the Garmin all the way up.  The volume was set at 100% but by pressing the square button on the left side, it was only at about 70%.  Cranked it up all the way and now the tunes sound great and I have all the volume I need, especially with the Hawg-Wired speakers.

[porthole]

My Garmin has one output with two different settings, line out and headphone. Do the Zumo's have that feature?

[hard10]

I got my Cyclegadgets.com XM antenna mount just in time for coming back from CHL. $14 with shipping at it's here. I have it installed under the boat mount and I think it looks pretty good. I'm still working on running the power cable so that I can utilize the built in speaker.

This is pre mounted:

[hard10]

On the bike w/o the GPSMAP 478 installed yet. I'm using the Techmount to attach the Garmin mount. I'll have to get a different attachment point when Chief replaces the bars with Chubby's.
