I know what you mean Pilot, since installling mine i take it with me everywhere. Im always checking out elevation,avg speed and all the other bells and whistles. The one thing I have found lately that is way cool to me is that i plot a lot of trips and routes, Points of interest on the laptop with the city maps then Dl the routes to the unit, as the laptop runs 10x faster than the quest. Changing the fileds is pretty cool too depending on the particular ride your doing.
the Harley mount will not fit on the left side. But to be honest the RAM handle bar mount i used had less vibration that the harley indash mount, and it will mount on either side. The only difference is that the indash is hard wired to the bike and you dont have to worry about a dead battery on the unit. If your interested in the RAM mount i have one for sale cheap....
Move the XM! I put the XM on the left...in fact, after having to drill FOUR holes in my fairing (very uncomfortable), I ended up drilling a hole on the other side for the three wires for the XM, and routed the Aux wire to the radio for the XM. I did have them between the faring and windshield...when I looked at them, I could see the potential for problems not too far down the road. I need to get some sort of silicone or something to seal off that hole. It's hidden behind the XM, but it look so much better without the wires going up into the windshield.
Glad someone else got the Heebee GeeBees about drilling holes inth e Fairing. not only that but the bracket?template isnt the most robust piece of plastic ive seen.
