Default Road King Radio?

Has anyone been successful putting a radio on a RK? I know I can get some amplified speakers and use my Ipod but I really like terrestrial radio. I thought about a car head unit in my saddlebags with a wired remote mounted on my bars but I'm not crazy about losing the space in the bags. Would love to mount a unit in the saddlebag lid but it seems that I would have wiring issues. Jensen makes a small head unit I could mount on the handlebars and use amplified speaks but I'm afraid it'll look to bulky mounted right over the risers. Bit of a pickle i'm in, any ideas are welcome.

I know J&P cycles has a couple of options for just that, you might want to check them out.

I've been doing the amp'd speakers w/ipod thing but I did see a MP3 player with FM radio. Havn't tried it yet.

My GPS has MP3 and XM capability. Never use it. I believe there's some pics in my albums.
