Side view. I replaced the screws that came w/unit w/some shorter ones that I picked up from a "fastener" supply store (Thanks Bob (hogheritage04)). These are stainless steel also so I don't have to worry about rusting. I had wanted to get some acorn nuts to put on the back, but they didn't have those. I may try to look for some rubber/vinyl nipples to put on the end of the screws.

This picture is for Howie and all those that will be on the ride w/him in a couple weeks. This is looking south/west back towards the Blue Ridge Mountains from the "Highway Workers (DOT) Memorial" on I64 eastbound...

When you buy the GPS set-up shown in the MoCo catalogue, does it use the screen on your radio ( on my 07) or do you still have a little screen on the handlebars ?

B B,
If you're talking about the system listed below then it will be a separate screen.

Road Tech™ Conquest GPS Navigation System

If you're talking about the system below then it will be incorporated into your H-K Radio.

Advanced Audio Navigation System

If you're really considering doing this I would go w/either the Garmin Zumo or the Street Pilot 2820. I found the best price for the Zumo by searching on Bizrate.com which is several hundred dollars less then either of the models listed above by H-D.

Gary,
        I'm talking about the Advanced Audio Navigation System. Is it any good ?

B B,
I'll have to let those that have that system comment on it. I've heard everything from it's satisfactory to others opting to get the Garmin units I mentioned above (Zumo/2820). Some of the complaints if I remember them correctly is the size of the screen, not in color. have to have a Navigation CD/DVD in radio to get it to work, limited ways of using it (routing/favorites/points of interest, etc). If I were going to spend the money to get a GPS I wouldn't spend the money on the Advanced Navigation System. Currently the best price on Bizrate.com for a Garmin Zumo 550 is $683.00 and the H-D Advanced Navigation System is $1099.95. I wouldn't pay more to get less.

And if I recall, the Garmin comes off the bike and you can take it in the room and play with it at night.

Solid advice
                  Thanks

That's right. It also comes w/software that you load on your computer to create routes to download to your Zumo. Zumo 550 has MP3 Player, XM Radio (additional antenna required), Bluetooth (I have mines mated to my phone and can receive/send calls), and has a slot for SD cards where you can store music, additional routes, maps, and/or points of interest.

Hi Fired00d,

Just for info : where did you find this cigarette lighter plug? It hardly found one here in Belgium and am not that happy with it (quality).

Thanks for your help.

Phil,
It comes from Radio Shack - Radio Shack 12VDC 7.5A Cigarette Lighter Power Plug . I replaced the 7.5 amp fuse that came in the plug w/the 2 amp fuse that was in the wiring Garmin supplied for the Zumo. So far I'm pleased with it. I will have to do as Twolane mentioned get some heat shrink and close up the end where the wires go into it to prevent water from getting in the plug and blowing fuses.

Added the flame custom caps today, and put some shrink wrap around the power plug..
