mw, THANK YOU for the photos!

The mP3 players are great!! I thought about drilling a hole in my bars too... then I thought there is already wires in there so I didn't even take the chance. I got a 512MB chip in mine it holds 128 songs which equals 8 hours & 37 mins of playing time. Nice for just about any day trip. As far as wiring, same as the others ran them along the brake lines and under the radio, pretty straight forward installation.

Yeah, these things are SICK!  I just got mine in the mail today.  Check out the package this thing comes in.  It is almost worth the price of admission itself, lol!

2lane, here are a couple of shots of the mounting bracket.  I'm not sure you could remove much material because of the way it's made on the inside (second photo).

This is how the player mates up with the mounting bracket . . .

Looks an awfully lot like the housings for the accessory switches or LED clock things.

Here is a few pics of mine. I ran my wires along the brake line and into the fairing. I ran the mini plug from inside the fairing and under the radio. Right now I'm using a 256 meg SD card. It holds about 55 songs.

Yo,
I understand about the mini-plug coming out from under the radio, but how did you run the wire along the brake line?

About the 256 mb card-How do u get 55 songs on it?  Using MP3 or WMA?   Using windows media?  Any help would be appreciated.   What is the procedure u go though?

[mw8385]

I used the smallest black cable ties I could find and ran it on top of the brake line.

On the MP3 and wma subject, yes you can get more songs on your card if they are wma fomat.  If your songs are mp3 format there are programs you can get and it will convert your mp3's to wma's.  That way you get more songs on your cards. Let's Roll

Have you noticed a significant worsening of sound quality of the WMA (64kbs) compared to MP3(128kbs)?  There should be but I am not sure one could detect it at all on a bike (called The Rinehart Factor [smiley=laugh.gif]), so may not matter.  Plan to road test a comparison myself soon.  Have always used MP3, may have to give WMA a try.

You guys that installed these yourselves, did you leave the top hole open on the housing that the player mounts to?  The bottom one gets plugged with a nice seal that's part of the wiring harness and then there's a nice gasket that seals the player itself to the housing.  I can't figure out why this extra hole is here or why you'd want to leave it open to the atmosphere.  I'm thinking about sliconing it closed.  Thoughts, anyone?
