Sirius/IPOD mount
 
I am looking to mount my Sat Radio or IPOD on my Ultra. Looking for ideas? I see a few companies make handlebar attach brackets. The prices have me looking into making my own or getting ideas on how to do this. I plan on going into my aux input on the HD radio.

Also, my HD cd player seems to lock up once I am playing tracks above 5 or 6 most days, especially when running on bumpy roads. Is this common?

Check out Rammounts....pretty much anyone running a mount, unless a custom mount is from these guys.

I just saw one on Ebay that was really nice and it was chrome! It was the nicest one I have ever seen! It was for an Ipod or xm or sirius!

Lot's of nice ones out there! Velcro for an i-pod is the cheapest and easiest, or billet ones like these just depends on what you like :) My personal fav is the first one! :D Makes playing with the I-pod so much more fun! LOL!!!!

Which plug are you referring to? Power or line in?

Here is what I use. The Shuffle is inexpensive and gets the job done. You can look at my album to see how I use it on the bike. Got the basic idea from another member and modified it slightly.

Used to have my nano velcroed to the handlebar next to the starter switch.

Got tired of taking it off when I got off the bike so I just loaded it up with all my tunes then velcroed to the top of the radio under the fairing.

I figure I'll have to pull it once every few months to add new tunes. I've taken the fairing off so many times now that I can do it in literally 5 minutes.

If it needs to be reset I'll just play the radio 'til I get home.

Good point though :cool:
