Finally got around to snapping a few shots of the mounting bracket I used for the XM. I pounded an old license plate until I had the shape I wanted then I zip tied the XM bracket to the plate. Nothing pretty on the backside but it got the job done.

We did the install of the XM Roady2 on Mrs. We's bike yesterday and shot a couple of pictures. The end result is to have the Roady2 in one of the pouches in the HD three pouch windshield bag. The first is using a round file to cut a bit of the fairing away to make room for the wires to run through - a tip from Otis.

[Mr. We]

In this second pic you can see the notch I made.

This third pic shows how the wires will not be crimped by the windshield and fairing.

The Delphi FM Direct Adaptor has a power socket that you can use to keep your cigarette lighter freed up. I wired it into the back of the lighter.
We didn't shoot the last shot, three bags - no muss, no fuss. We'll shoot one later but there isn't much to see.  [smiley=drink.gif]

If you are about to ask how the DD antenna worked don't. Remember the 56 day service she was in for? Well they put the antenna on top of the radio and it would have worked as well as mine... if they would have plugged it in. Only took 9 months for me to come up with a need to take the fairing off. I wonder what those crooks at Colonial charged us for that install?

Can you tell me the Delphi part numer for this direct connect to the cigarette lighter. I really need one

RSA, what he's describing isn't something that plugs in to the cigarette lighter socket; it is something that connects at the back of the socket (inside the fairing) and keeps the bike's lighter socket unused.

RSA, if you've got the Roady2 it comes with a DC adaptor.  If you're wanting to connect it to your bike I think you'll find everything else you'll need at that Crutchfield link supplied above.

[Mr. We]

Rsantucc,

That is the Delphi part # SA10112-11P1. I can't get the Crutchfield site to load so I can't get a price comparison but I picked mine up at Best Buy for $27.99, in stock all day long. I picked up an assorted pack of those electrical tie-ins from Home Depot for less than $2.50, no wire cutting or taping. Way too easy... we don't need no stinkin' Crutch... field!    [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

[Twolanerider]

Jamey, the Crutchfield price for the kit was $24.99.  Little stuff is just about always better off purhcased close to home.  But that link did have a picture he could have looked at had he ventured there.

I never have a problem until I get into the mountains.

[Laker]

I am curious as to why you have problems in the mountains? And have you tried reversing directions? Wondering if your "pikespass" is blocking the sat view at certain elevations.

 [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

I am sure it has something to do with the antenna not having a direct signal to the satellite.

[Tonys]

H-D has a nifty bracket they install the sat. antenna on inside the fairing...to the drivers left side of the radio.
