Default Satellite radio hook up

Just went and bought me a new Streetglide, pick it up on Friday. Very excited!!
I have satellite radio in my truck and I have an extra mount but need different wiring I assume to put on the bike. Do they sell such kits?

Yes, you can get a spare antenna and a cigarette lighter adapter at any Radio Shack. If your SG doesn't have a cig lighter you can get a kit to wire one into your fuse block.

Question about the antenna. The one I have is just a round magnet made to slap on the roof of a car. Is this the same one being used on the bikes? If so, where are you mounting it. Right now I have it on the steering column behind the headlight. It was raining today so didn't have a chance to test its reception but I'm guessing it's not going to be good.
Are there other antenna and where did you install it?
thanks

Heath, the antenna is the same. You can mount it anywhere it gets a good view of the sat without being blocked by your body or anything else. Some put it on the headlight or the handlebar area. Hope this helps

I put mine on top of the radio inside the fairing....

Been raining for ten days here, so I can't comment on reception but lets put it this way, I can listen to the satellite radio inside my garage with clear reception, so outside should be the same or better.

If you don't want to pull your fairing apart, I have a new mini antenna (1"x1 1/4"x1/2") that I'll sell cheap....It fits great on the rear fender and gets excellent reception...

Here are a few links, i got mine from TSS Radio. The Professional Motorcycle Mounts comes with a nifty pad for the antenna.

Heath, Try here www.tss-radio.com. You didn't say Xm or Sirius but I picked up the antenna with the short coax and the antenna mounting bracket and the 5 volt power supply. For the radio mount try www.leadermotorcycle. The mount works real well with my Sportster 5 radio which I move around to 2 other vehicles. Its machined out of aluminum and looks good.I plug mine into the audio input jack,sounds great especially with an Arc amp and speakers
