Yeah, the older shuffle is perfect for motorcycles. I have a 2gb and a 1gb, hate the thought of having to change, don't know how long those batterys last. To bad they changed the controls to the wire

I have the older style I-Pod, too. But it might be worth trying an inline volume control, as they are inexpensive. Here's just one of many.

I find that the self adhesive velcro will hold about anything onto your harley. I have my id card holder, garage opener, IPOD and more... using it.

Never a problem and it has been a year so far of about 25k.

Default Zip tie works for me
I too have the old style shuffle and have a zip tie/wire tie on the handlebars... I use the shuffle clip to attach to the zip tie.. works great...

Default this should make it work for you
Check out this new adapter for the new Shuffle, it's basically a short pigtail with the volume control built-in and a female adapter that will accept any style of earbuds. I suspect if you plug this in and the plug the patch cord in between this and the HK radio you'd be good to go.

I use the older model of shuffle. I just wrap the cable that goes to the AUX port around my right handle bar and clip the shuffle onto the wire. Used it that way since 06. Works great!

Do you use an inline volume like mentioned in earlier post or can you raise the volume to max and then unplug the headset and plug into the aux on the radio
