RE: Two audio inputs
Kinda funny, I just added an AUX jack to the inside of my bat wing last night. Works great.
I used the link that NoKenDo posted above. Only difference is instead of putting anotherjack inside wherethepatch cordmight pull loose I cut one end off and soldered it to the AUX jack just like in the pictures. Then I routedthe cordright to my Zumo.[8D]

RE: Two audio inputs
With the roadglide's stationary fairing, I want to avoid having wires "bridging" from the handlebars to the fairing. I've been thinking about using a FM wireless modulator to get my Zumo audio to the radio. These things seem to be pretty cheap and a lot simpler than using adapters and installing jacks. I already use the FM modulator built into my XM Roady and am satisfied with the results. Am I missing something?

RE: Two audio inputs
You can add a rear jack to the older radios too without any change to the appearance of the face. I did mine several years ago, but don't have good pics of it.[:@] Since I don't have the CB, I put the new jack in the blank plate where that would have gone.

BG Weasel,
"With the roadglide's stationary fairing, I want to avoid having wires "bridging" from the handlebars to the fairing."
I also have a Road Glide. I was not comfortable with the wire from the Zumo to the aux input on the front of the radio. I used this link http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=7674.0 to move the jack to the back of the radio and then pulled the 1/8" audio cable through the handlebars to the https://www.hdforums.com/m_2812645/tm.htmZumo/Mp3 player. Now wires!
I tried the FM modulator approach first and this is MUCH better! Cleaner sound, no FM station interference etc.
