I am running on a Street Glide with no GPS and I am wondering if any one has any ideas on where to write directions down. I though about using an Alcohol marker on the fuel door lid because it should wipe off with rubbing alcohol. A buddy of mine uses a grease pencil on his windshield, but that wont work on my dark shield on top of my faring.

Thanks

Why don't you get a low priced Garmin GPS and a RAM mount set. It's worth it's weight in gold on the road.

I use a Garmin 360 with a RAM mount and a plastic bag/rubber band for rain protection.

You can buy one of those ipod magnetic cases, and fold up a piece of paper in it and use it for directions.
