RE: Best IPOD set up
Since I don't have a radio on my poice bike, I velcroed the Ipod (in its case) to the left side of the fairing. I have a volume control cable that is connected to the Ipod and I velcro the control **** to the top of my left side switches. I then use a cable management strap (velcro) to tie up the cable so it doesn't flop and scratch the tank. I then connect to my helmet speakers in my full face helmet. I now have control over the volume without removing my hand from the bars, and I can still reach the Ipod if I need to pause or skip songs and not have to fish around in my jacket or tank bag. There is only 1 wire going to my helmet, and I can easily detach the Ipod from my dash when I stop for lunch or whatever.

Its not waterproof. A plastic bag and a rubber band take care of that. The display is protected by the windshield and is a sealed unit. The cable exits at the bottom through a grommet. The control **** is protected from the wind etc by its position. I use a bag for that too. Still operational with the bags in place. No worries on the iPod as it is in a protective plastic case secured inside the fairing itself. The iDrive was $25.00 including shipping on ebay. I tried a shuffle before tied to the bars and hooked through the Aux port. For me the iDrive is a cleaner set up with more options and capacity. 4G Nano with 1,000 songs.

TRUBRIT, Sweet setup. Is the Ipod/radio interface a wirless one or did you hard wire to the back of the radio somehow?

Check out this link:

It's for the Ijet remote, it allows you to store you Ipod/Nano in the tourpak or saddlebag and only use the small remote for control.
I think it's great.

RE: Best IPOD set up
I have seen them velcroed to the middle console on a SG gas tank (this is West Coast style.) I velcroed it to the blak part of the top of the fairing on my SG. You can barely see the velcro and it helps to remind me to take it off when I am parked.
