I've got an eCaddy Lite on my right hand controls. Replaces two bolts and looks clean. I ran the cable from my stereo under the instrument panel on the fork (Road Glide) and zip tied the other end (that plugs into the iPod) to the brake line.
I am fully Gilboed. Bought the Nano bracket from Bobby and the Tour Pak bushings as well. Great stuff and a great guy who cares about his products and customers.
Released our Nano mount at Sturgis. Use your belt clip and it locks on to the mount. Low profile like your looking for. Currently in black, chrome finish will be available in a couple weeks.
No drilling or other attachments required for install.
I have a Creative Labs play rather than an IPod but what i did was put a silicone case on it and glue Velcro to the back. The other half of the velcro is on the tank panel just below the fuel cap. Ran a patch cord under the tank and out under the panel where I needed it. I also wired a charger cord under the seat connected to the Accessory switch so I can recharge during a long trip.
It works well for me as well as being cheap and easy.
I use a longer connector cord because the vibration can cause MP3s to with hard drives to fail. The ones with flash memory there seems to be no problem.
I took off mic clip on black plate (handlebar mount) and installed a nice hard leather sleeve I picked up at Walmart with 3M velcro and had less that $15 in it and think it came out very nice...I'll try to upload a shot of install or post a link.
