new garmin is a 665 it has xm like the 550 but touch screen like the 600. Harley does not have this model yet. Garmin has a $100 rebate online good till 7-4-10 but not good at amazon and some other places. I know the harley models dont have mounts and are more expensive but if anyone knows when they might get it or the best deal on a 665 post it. thanks, Davis

I've had a Tom-Tom ryder II for almost 2 years now and love it. It comes with the ram mount, blue tooth speakers and mike for the helmet and computor hook-up. I have made two cross country trips and many more short (under 2,000 mi ) trips with no problems. The tom-tom is also almost half price of a Garmin or Zumo.

Stick with Garmin, many options to choose from , many price ranges and mounting options.
If you can, look at the Zumo 660. Designed for motorcycles, weatherproof, and stores MP3's. I have one and it works great. Any questions feel free to ask.

I just installed my Garmin Nuvi 550 three weeks ago. Easy to wire in and mount. I mounted it directly in front of me on the bars so I don't have to look away from the road too much to look at it and it is protected by the windshield so it doesn't get "buggy".
It cost only $250 with everything I needed to mount it and wire it in to the bike and it came with everything I needed to use in my truck. I am very happy with it.

HD has the Road Tech Zumo 550, same unit I use. It is the HD version of the Garmin Zumo 550. The Road Tech is still listed on the HD website. The Road Tech has a touch screen and window/sound buttons on the side panel, SD card slot and MP3 player and XM. The XM sounds good and I use the XM about 99% of the time now.
