sirius-XM option for batwing....
This looks like a cheaper alternative for someone wanting to add a satellite radio. plugs into the cig lighter and can use either aux or fm for reception. Only downfall is running the antane.

The XM Snap radio will NOT work if plugged into your cig. lighter ,on a batwing. The radio sticks out too far from the lighter socket and when turning the bars to the left it hits the tank. I've tried it.

My game plan is use my Sirius Stiletto 2 from my truck on the bike, any portable with a dock will work though. The problem I have is with where to mount it. Does anyone know a good Akron mount for the handle bars? Still undecided if I want to leave it on the bars or just put it in the saddle bags. My plan is to use the antenna bracket that goes in the fairing. All my cars have the antennae on the dash and reception is fine.

I placed the HD dual bags on the dash of my SG, installed ( pop rivit ) a fender washer on one of the flaps to place the magnetic antenna on...order a antenna from ebay with a 2 foot chord. Add a cig lighter in the dash for power, got mine from HD wit the rubber cap ...then use the aux jack into the radio. Been using it since 2008 works great. I can now remove the portable unit and place it in my boat or man cave docking station too....and to prevent theft.

Ive got the xm onyx, I hardwired in, would not recommend this, had the ball break on the pivot and the main part that slides into the base started falling off, had to mount it so it is not detachable.
