Anybody using one on their bike? How did you hook it up? I know its nice to have in the truck on long hauls and i would like to mount it on the RG for road trips.

I'm planning on using it, once the weather warms up. There's a free application out there for my Android phone, and I'm just going to download it, and plug my phone into the aux jack.
That's my plan anyway. A guy I worked with used to listen to sirius on his blackberry all the time in the office.
If the snow would melt, I could tell you how effective it actually is on the road...

Awesome! What kind of mount are you using, RAM?

I have Sirius in everything, boat, car, truck, camper and bike so I obtained extra mounting kits for the ease of moving it around. On the bike power to back of cig lighter, base and head in center windshield pouch and antenna on top of fairing pouch for clear signal. Plugged into aux input and clear as can be. I have to stop to change channels but I don't care, it's clean and tidy plus it's concealed. Never tried the remote to see if it would work through the leather and I did not look for the inner fairing antenna either. Really enjoy it!

I mounted the Docking port for my Sirius Starmate 5 on the left handlebar. I took the CB microphone mounting plate for the Sirius docking port. I ran the power and antenna inside the fairing. I wired the Sirius cigarette lighter plug to the back of the fairing cigarette lighter. I then used the Sirius FM Modulator in the radio input. This way I don't have a wire sticking out of the front of the radio. When it rains, I just cover the Sirius radio and keep riding.
I can move the Sirius radio to a docking port in my garage or in my car and truck. This way I only pay for one radio. Not one for every vehicle.

Allen, I've got mine in the tour-pak. I run a cable through something called a Mix-it then up to the aux port. The Mix-it lets me connect my Zumo to the same port so I get music until the Zumo has something to say. Can't change stations but other than that it works great and looks clean.
