GXM 30 Location????
I am going toinstall my Zumo 550 GPS with a mirror mount. I have a choice, either mount the GXM 30Antenna under the fairing on the radio, or mount it outside on an adapter that is in between the Zumo and mirror mount. Which should I use under the fairing or outside on the adapter?

Mine is due today form theUPS man. I am going to be putting it under the fairing also. My question is I have covered the inner fairing with Dynamat. Do you think it will hurt reception?
I will have the answer in about 3 hours when I get home. Just wondering.....

I have mine on the adapter between the Zumo and the mount. I would consider doing yours this way if you are going to be moving the Zumo from your bike to a car. Taking the outer fairing off to get it off of the radio sounds like a pain to me.

Well, it works under the fairing. But with the Dynamat the strengh meter is flashing between 2 and 3 bars.
You guys with it under the fairing, are you holding 3 bars all the time in open roads?
I might look into doing it in the saddle bag.
