Default MP3 Player Question
I have a friend that has an mp3 player that he purchased at a Harley dealer back in 2002.It clamps on the right side of the handlebar on his Classic Electraglide and it looks factory.I went to the local Harley dealer to see about one and they said Harley no longer offers any type of MP3 player.I was just wondering what some of you guys are using in the way of MP3 players.I made a clamp and mounted mine to the stem of my right side mirror on my Ultra Classic.It seems to work fine but I was really hoping Harley would offer something.I appreciate your comments.Thanks!

Your dealer is not giving you a "total" truth. The newer top of the line "Ultra's" and maybe even a few of the CVO models come from the factory with an iPod......

I carry a Zune 120 that I also use in my car that plugs into the stock stereo.

I use a sansa mp3 its perfect for mc travel. It has a belt clip, however i put vercro on the clip and a piece in the bike tank positioned where I have acess while moving. This player has a 12-15 hour play time so no power is necessary while on the bike. Cost around 50 bucks.

I bought the new Ipod shuffle. Its got a 15 hour battery life and is easy to use.

$50 and it comes in silver and black.

I just strapped it to the handlebar for now, but I plan to come up with something else.
