look at where the antenna is and mounts.. neat. i know our handlebars are goofy, but im going to order this and try to make it work anyways, as i want to be able to change the stations (with in reach of my arm). if it doesnt work, then no biggie. i could at least use the power supply it comes with. I thought the antenna was nice. No tons of cable to wrap up and hide.

This looks cool, but I think our handlebars are bigger than 1" so how do you think we could mount it? |

O'Neill, Nebraska | I found a RAM handlebar mount on ebay for about $45 that will fit a 1 1/2" handlebar like that on our bikes. I then went to the RAM website and bought the extensions and mounting parts for my Sirius Sportster. There is now a Sirius hard wire kit that allows us to tap into the antennae plug so we don't have to use the FM modulator....this gives better sound while allowing use to control the volume via the handlebar.
I also purchased the Sirus hardwire kit so the electrical portion will be hard wired and the sound output will go directly to the radio. So far I've spent about $125 on all of the pieces (not counting the Sirius Sportster that I already had). Still a bunch less than the XM set up and I will be able to change channels on the satellite tuner because it will be mounted on the handlebar.
Once everything has come in and I've complted the install I'll forward pictures of the final product. I think it will work great and look very professional. |

O'Neill, Nebraska | Here is the link to the other Vision Riders thread where I've posted the photos for the installed product. The wires run down the handle bar and everything tucks nicely underneath the console. Looks pretty good!

Wichita, Kansas | The easiest place is under the tank cover, or under the console, depending on how the harness was laid in. There are two grey connectors for the optional powerlets. The terminals take 1/4" male flag connectors and power is switched with the ignition. Grey/Pink is power, black is ground. No cutting required! |

Wichita, Kansas | Double post - now I see how this happens. When the system gives an error when you reply, it actually posts anyway!! No need to do it again. Live and learn, eh?

Quincy Massachusetts | I did this the first day I had the bike - October 2007. Use the power connector in the left glovebox - will power off with the ignition.
