Velcro on the Ipod and Master cylinder. Works great and the cost is cheap. No issues.

I use velcro on my iPod Nano. It's mounted right behind the windshield.

Get the good industrial type velcro.

so order the interface from zanotti's for $327

to be fair, the interface does give you quite a bit of functionality, plus the sound quality is better through the interface than it is through the aux cable.

to each his own though.....

I select a playlist or hit shuffle and put it in the right side of my two-pouch fairing bag.

I mounted my RAM base mount to the inner fairing. I use my IPhone 4 for gps and tunes. This is a very secure and non-expensive way to mount "gadgets".

Default Drive and Play

Harmon K Drive and Play. $25 off ebay. I mount a Nano inside the fairing but you can mount it anywhere. The advantage for me is the screen is in line of site, and the control **** works the same as the ipod and can be used with gloves. It is very water resistant as I have ben caught in quite a few rain storms.
