RE: ipod
I'm curious about this one too.....
Actually I've been contemplating getting one of the new iPod nano's (would be my first) for riding and I was wondering how many out there use any type of MP3 players while riding. I wasn't sure if it was really a safe thing to do since it would mask your hearing. Also what type of headset / earbuds do you use.
Sorry if this is a semi-thread jacking. I figured it was on the same line of topic.

Has anybody had any sucess mounting an ipod? I listen to my ipod more than the radio and I put it in my pocket but it would be nice to have where it could be accessed.

I love the HD mp3 player. While not nearly the features of an ipod, it's mounting and usability on a bike is unbeatable. Before you mount one though make sure the AB switch on back is set to A position or you'll be dissapointed in it's volume. Not sure about it's use with headphones though I'm sure this could be worked out.

I run a standard iPod on my RoadGlide. I just put it in my left glove box in the fairing and run an audio cable to my stereo aux input. Works out great but I cannot see the display or manipulate the controls as the iPod is under a cover. Last week I bought a RAM Mount for my GPS unit from cyclegadgets.com and I will also pick up an Ipod mount for the same mounting base that I used for the GPS in the near future so that I can switch between the two.

RE: ipod
I use a Dell 15GB jukebox, (have an Ipod on the christmas list) I use it in my pocket, it's not very accessable but it works ok that way. I use Koss ear buds, I get them at the local base exchange (retired Navy) but I understand Best Buy has them too. I paid 12.95 for them and they are great. As long as you don't turn them up too loud or ride with one out in town you should be ok. I keep the volume around 17 and I can still most engine noise and I scan my sides and mirrors quite a bit.

The wife uses her I-pod on the bike. Like RGerber posted cycle gadgets has the mount for your bike I think it is the HR-1 SAE mount you want and the I-pod adapter. I think I got the part number correct. That"s what I have on my ride. Plugs right into the aux port. Got the cable for it from Radio Shack...cheap. I too am thinking the NANO might be nice. It sure is small. Besides who can go through 1000 songs on a ride anyway. My butt and Mr. Happy would be screaming "if you ever want to reproduce your gene pool...GET ME OFF RIGHT NOW.
