Default iPod nano install. Cleanest I could come up with...

I wouldn't be surprised if someone here has the exact same set up.

Mount came from eBay for $39.00 (saw it posted here after I had already bought it). Unbelievably nice for the price.

Radio Shack had a 12", 3.5mm male to male plus a 90* adapter, for $10.36. Perfect length, no extra cable coiled, wrapped or zip tied anywhere.

Then I asked in here (HDF) about a 7 pin din to 1/8" (3.5mm) adapter to plug my Bose earbuds into the console. A member steered me in the perfect direction for $23.50. No more giant HD headset coil running from my helmet to the console.

So for a total of $72.86 I think it turned into a pretty sweet set up.

If yer interested here's the mount:

And here's the 7 pin din to 1/8" adapter:

Radio Shack is easy to find.

I've used my Nano with my HK deck and the lack of handlebar controls (other than volume) is a negative. Also you can't operate the Nano wheel with gloves on. Other than that, works fine.

IMO, you'd be hard pressed to find a helmet speaker that even comes close to the sound quality of the Bose ear buds.

They're a hundred bucks and worth every penny.
