I want to add XM to the new bike, but when I pull up part number 76404-06 on the HD site, it says it will NOT work on the FLHXSE2.....What gives? I thought you guys said you have put it on your bikes??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Our store is giving a 25% discount on Black Friday and I thought this would make it more affordable if it would work.
Thanks!!

76404-06
Fits '06-later Touring models equipped with an Advanced Audio Radio (except FLHXSE2). Requires installation of appropriate Wiring Harness and Antenna Bracket P/N 76456-06 (FLH models) or 76316-06A (FLTR models).
Buy the XM .... it works. I have this last Saturday installed it on my bike, 2011 SESG2. There is room. The biggest hassle is supplying the interconnect wires that have been eliminated for the 2011 SESG2. Those wires are in the 2010 bikes for some strange reason HD decided that the 2011 bikes/customers didn't need XM, or GPS, or rear speakers, or........ Who would ever have guessed that one might want to have XM on their touring bike anyway..... :-(
You will need to get the correct Overlay harness... It will be the Non Ultra Overlay Harness or NUOH .... about $129 list... the correct mounting bracket for the XM antenna....about $5.00 list and since there is already the IPOD module and the amp mounted on top of the radio, HD has a "kit" that is nothing more than some super strong double back tape that you use to mount the XM module on top of the IPOD module.... another $5.00..... I went ahead and had my HD dealer add/move the wires for the addition of "rear speakers" from the existing radio connector and put them into the overlay harness (so when I figure out how to get around, or deal with the "STUPID" 1 ohm speakers that are on these bikes the connectors will already be there). When I am ready to put a tour pack and speakers on my bike I will just need to run the wires from that harness to the rear of the bike. The HD dealer then has to "enable" the XM on the radio through their Digital Tech equipment, and will have to do the same again on my bike when I put the additional rear speakers on. The second time around for me will, I believe, enable the fader and balance control, which none of the 2011 SESG2's have.
I personally think the system sounds really good, but only after I changed the windshield and got rid of as much wind noise as possible, did the real sound "show up". The XM and the "other" radio stations come through good too, but some of the songs from the IPOD are weak ...
Oh well just my two cents worth.....
