ipod dash mount?
Anyone make an ipod mount for the dash of a RK? I rode 200 miles today, up to Tallulah Gorge and back, and took my daughter's ipod with me. I don't think I'll give it back to her now........ Riding with tunes is nice! I'd love to have speakers on my bike, but don't like the looks of the ones I've seen so far that hang on the handlebars. I don't mind wearing the earbuds, unless I find a speaker package that looks clean on the bike. I just put the ipod in my shirt pocket today, and it worked okay. But I was thinking it would be nice to have it mounted on the dash over that stupid screw...... Does anyone make such a contraption? Or will I need to fabricate my own?

I have a radio on my bike and never use it. My Klipsh Image 3 earbuds produce super-high fidelity music -- much better than any vehicle system can produce -- and serve as my ear protection. Assuming you use some ear protection, any radio speaker is going to sound less than optimal.

Could always mount one up at the bars and run your line under the tank to the front of the seat, then just pull it out and plug in, work your i-pod controls with your thumb and wouldn't have to take your eyes off the road as much either. 
Damn i-Pods are nice though!
Your Cuda a notchback or fastback? I have a 68 notchbach (or should say my baby girl does )

Fastbacks suck......
My advice would be to get the new ipod shuffle. Its a 4gb and its very tiny. You can clip it to a belt loop, run the ear phone cords under your shirt and there you have it. Plus it has the vol and pause controls on the cord itself which makes it easy to mute when you come to a stop light and need to talk to someone.
I highly recommend one.

Just buy an ultra!!! You know you want to!
Honestly, I have gotten hooked on having tunes on the bike. I love it. I was quite happy with my yammie road star, but all the amenities on the Ultra make me glad I made the move.
The radio and speaker package HD sells looks pretty slick and would mount right up on a RK and not look bad at all IMO.
