Does anyone have this installed on their bike?  

http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524448769737&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474395442411&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395442411&bmUID=1159074274398&bmLocale=en_US

Any feedback would be appreciated.  $249.99 retail, so you could probably get it for $200 at a 20% off site.  Would I be better off buying a XM Roady for $50 and getting the $54 chrome:

I have a much better install on Ol' Maudie.  I think you would like it more than the one you mentioned.  I'll try to get some pics, and post tomorrow or Tuesday.  Later--HUBBARD

I bought a new Roady XT on ebay for $36 including shipping.  Installed it on my 05 SEEG....using the included car mount on the inner fairing (it sticks on).  Then I put velcro on the antenna and have it on the top of the fairing.  The only problem I have had is the vibration of the fairing at low speeds causes the radio to come out of it's cradle, cutting off power.  I solve that with tape on the back.  I also shortened the antenna wire to only 8 inches becasue I hated the look of all the wire tied up.  
Good luck   [smiley=cherry.gif]

I had the Hoon setup with a Sirius reciever. It work fine but the reciever wasn't water proof so had to get a plastic bag for the rain. I just ran the antenna inside the fairing so all you have is the connection at the radio.

I have the HD handlebar mount XM, Had the mounting bracket & the bolt spacers chromed ($22.00), bought the antenna bracket for a 06 S/E Ultra ($4.49) and put antenna in fairing, ran the wiring thru the clutch mastercylinder hole in fairing, brought the power wire thru the same hole and back up thru the ignition hole plugging it into the radio, installed a accessory power point inside the fairing (from Discount Auto Parts $8.00) using the cigar lighter end supplied with the unit from Harley and installed before going to Biketoberfest. It works very good, buttons easy to operate, enjoy it a lot. BUT, while parked at St Augustine thurs during a small rain shower, the display filled with water. It dried out before we got back to Daytona and gave no indication the water hurt it, but I do intend to have it replaced under warranty. Had to remove the 3-prong connector from the harness to get it thru the mastercylinder hole and then reinstall it, easy.

You should be able to stick it inside the fairing, along with your EZ Pass.
