Ipod and my bike....
I use my ipod on my 01 FLHTCI and put it in the windshield pouch when I am riding. The ipod hard drive locks up after about 20 minutes of bumps and I have to reset it. Does anyone know if a ipod mount on the handlebars is a cure for this lockup? Any other recommendations from those of you who use their ipod on the bike would be appreciated.

My IPOD was doing the same thing. Unfortunately I don't know of a fix. ...too much vibration for the hard drive. I finally had to buy a nano which does not have a hard drive...it's a flash player...so it won't lock up.

I have an 80 GBiPodvideo. I use it every time I ride my2007 SG. The mounting system I use is cheaper then official handle bar mounts and can be easily removed. I have never had a problem with skipping.
The iPod isin a jogging case that comes with a belt clip. I tie a do rag rag/bandanna to the left handle bar. The belt clip slides in the middle of the knot. Since mypatch cord is pretty long, I coil it up and use one end of the do rag to tiethe cord in place.
This method is cheap, easy to mount, and easy to remove the iPod if you are away from the bike. The iPod is also near the 12v outlet if you need to recharge it. I don't have pictures right now, butIcan get you a picture upon request. I hope this helps.

Pick up a used/new iPod Nano or shuffle. The music is stored on a chip and not a hard drive, which is less susceptible to shock.
I have an 80gb video which is too much to carry on the SERK and picked up a 2GB Shuffle, which has plenty of music for my rides.
Have fun, be safe!
