Hey Alex,
I'm not sure if the availability of the wires is the same with the Ultra as with the Roadglide. With that being said, when I removed my fairing there were two wires (1 black-ground wire and 1 orange/white wire-hot wire) that were capped off and just taped to the inside of the fairing. The ends did have connectors attached. All I needed to do was remove the caps and connect the wires from the harness to the Roadtech mount wires. It was pretty straight forward. As you are probably aware, the Zumo would not fit the mounting hardware used with Roadtech.

Good luck with your install.

Last year I purchased a fairly cheap Garmin Legend ($150 @ Best Buys). I bought a nice handle bar mount for it (can't remember who makes that... I can look). Anyway, For me I just wanted enough of a GPS to give me enough info to keep me from getting too lost. I generally just pick the town that I want and put the display on 2 miles radius. The unit shows me a "As the Crow Flys" arrow to my destination. I love this "as the crow flys" because it allows me explore and pick any old streets but eventually I always end up at my final destination. Some of the more expensive units will be in color or have street by street directions, but for me I don't need the color or street by street directions. I'm very pleased with this unit and have logged over 10,000 miles on it last year.... I have no complaints.

So what do you think of the Zumo? I was looking at that as well.

I found several places with good sales prices.

It is supposedly able to be used in the car and on the bike!

 

I bought a Garmin Conquest a few weeks ago. I Love it. I took it to Florida and rode around about five hundred miles. Only problems was I didn't trust it. I thought my sense of directions was right. Wrong, the GPS was correct. Mine is fairing mounted and I also have the car adapter. Last Friday night my son called at 10:30 at night. He was stranded in Chicago at Ohare airport. I left southern Indiana at 11:30Pm. the GPS routed me right into the terminal parkingarrival area. Wasn't there three minutes brfore I pick him up and was gone again. I hit the route home button and again it took me srtaight home no problems.

Check them all out prior to buying one.The conquest has more memory and I believe has more preloaded locations and points of interest. Mine has voice direction and that is kind of neat.

I should state that I went to Chicago in my car not the bike. I also had a pair of glasses made with the bifocual section enlarged and set for the distance from my head to the fairing. Works like a charm.

I also like the HD Conquest, fairing mounted on my Ultra. I haven't had it long but I can't figure out how the blasted thing knows all the back roads and county roads (some aren't even marked at stop signs) let alone all the city streets.

My sister lives out in the countrynear Medina, TN. Since her address wasn't in the Conquest database, I went to Flashearth and located her house. I then keyed the latitude and longitude into the Garmin and filled out the other information. While I already knew how to get there, it was amazing that the thing will route you on all these backroads and get you to the destination. These roads are not on any map short of a recent county gazateer as they are less than a couple of years old.

 

I have a Garmin 2720 and love it. Never leave home without it. The thing knows every rabbit trail there is.

 

I have the TOMTOM GO 300 and it worked great last April in Dealth Valley, it showed all the dirt roads that connected to the main raod.. I know that there is a TOMTOM Rider made just for a motorcycle looking into that next. But for now the TOMOTM GO 300 will do.
