Default Ipod on a Road Glide

Will putting my Ipod in the glovebox on a RG harm the Ipod? My Ipod is a Gen 3 nano if that matters.

The Nanois a flash-based system (vs. a hard-drive based system like the larger I-pod) and will not suffer any harm from vibrations.

You are good to go with a flash based Ipod. Might want to check out gilbos440rt's (member on here) Ipod mount. It will allow you to change songs while riding.

I mount mine on a dot of Velcro on the dash. That way I can reach it to change settings. You have to remember to store it away if rain starts, I don't think they are waterproof.

I've been putting my i-Pod in the windshield bag
of my Ultra for 3 months, so far no problems, but
I really like the setup gilbos440rt has designed. Saving
up to get one. Can't reach mine in the bag!

I have a little cheap $5.00 case over the pod it provides a great cushion if your worried about it. I dropped mine lots of times never been damaged. I think they are sold at any bestbuy/circuit city electronic store
