RE: ipod
Why pay the iPod price? Any MP3 player will do. Want to look at some award winning models? Check out the iAudio U2 - highest 1GB flash player rated by cNet and Windows A to Z.
I own 2. Hands down, by far the best sounding portable player I have ever heard. And it is the side of a 5 stick pack of gum. Rechargable battery built in. Lots of colors.
I refuse to buy an iPod. Too much money for too little product. But whatever you get, stay away from any hard drive based player. Your HD will vibrate it to certain death.

Why pay the HD price? Any motorcycle will do.....sorry, couldn't resist. Get the ipod, the new Nano looks like the ticket. I put an FM transmitter on mine (iTrip), set it to random and put in the saddlebag on my RKC (plugged into a power outlet). Works great.

RE: ipod
I have a Electra Glide Classic, it has the AM/FM Cassette in it already. It does have an audio jack. I was thinking of getting the Ipod Shuffle and just plugging it in to the jack and putting the unit itself into the leather windshield bag I have. Will that work? I shouldn't have to use headphones right? Do you notice yours to be pretty loud?

RE: ipod
I have this from www.ibikemount.com. It works perect for a Nano, easy on and off with no scrathing of the bike. It mounts very tight and secure.

RE: ipod
I don't understand why anyone with an electraglide would spend a bunch of money to mount something as small as an ipod. I mount my Sansa Mp3 player with a strip of velcro on my fuel tanks dash console...I think you can just see it in my signature photo. This gives me easy access to the controls and I can even read the display. When I get off I peel up my Mp3 player and there is just a tiny strip of black on the dash; which looks fine with the black and silver scheme I have. I ran the cord for it out of the fairing, under the fuel tank, along the frame and it doubles back under the nose of the seat....all secured with zip ties.
For a weather cover, I cut the clear plastic tray that the unit came packaged in out and cut a small access hole for the headphone jack. It press fits snugly over the player and is flexible enough that I can still use all the buttons...just not the scroll wheel.
If anyone is interested, I can take a picture.

RE: ipod
I have a rk custom. I use a Zune, althoughI wishI had spent the $250 on a ipod. The Zune just doesn't have all the features an ipod does, mainly because it is a newer device. maybe it will get more features, maybe not. But the dime was spent, and I wont buy anything else unless this breaks. I use ear buds on max volume. I can still hear my pipes, but they are louder than most. I am able to hear music just fine, and if I need to pull our a bud to hear traffic, or another rider, it is no big deal. If I had a radio, I would plug into it, but I don't. And unless the cash fairy visits my house, I wont be buying a fairing any time soon. JMHO.
