I have the The iSimpleŽ IS75 PolyWire iPhone/iPod Hardwire Kit that I bought from Iron Aces for $60. Great customer service as well. I have it mounted using the RAM base mounted to my inner fairing just below the windshield bag.

Which mount did you use? I can't tell from the picture. You remember the part number?

Interesting Mount location...
I mounted my Iphone 4 using the Otterbox Deffender belt clip. I got a second belt clip and mounted a RAM diamond plate with ball to the back of the clip. (just drilled the clip so I could put the 2 bolts thru diamond plate.)
Just made sure I have enough slack in the wire to tuck it into my windshield bag so the connector doesent start rusting out.

How does it connect to the HD Stereo? Does it use the RCA connectors?
I never really looked at the back of the Harmon/Kardon system. Once its plugged in (assuming that the RCA cables are used) do you access your tunes via the AUX setting, just like when you plug in from the headphone jack to the port on the front of the radio?
I like your set up, and may go this route minus the RAM mount.
Thanks for posting and giving us a viable option for our iPhones.

When I want to use my iPhone for NAV or iPod I have to have the radio set to AUX. Then because I wired it to the ACC connector under the seat I have to have the ACC button on the dash switched on so my phone will charge while using it on the bike.
I noticed a lot of guys complaining about not being able to see the iPhone display in the sunlight. I would make sure that you are not using polarized sunglasses. Polarized sunglasses do not work well with the iPhone in the sun. Also, there are anti-glare screen protectors that are very cheap and work well for curing this problem too.

I mounted mine to the left handlebar, as I didn't want to drill holes on the dash, yet... I have built-in bluetooth headset on my Nolan helmet, so it connects wireless; no hooking up to the bike's radio. I did plug in a flush USB charger to the cig lighter and plug the factory apple data cable to it when I need to charge the phone. At the end of the day, all is removeable with nothing exposed (except for the small ball mount on the handlebar.
