MP3 Player Recommendations
I know HD sells a MP3 player that attaches to the handlebar, and apparently is easy to use with glove on (don't know if it is battery powered or runs off the bike power). Are there other brands out therethat are easy to use with gloves on, and maybe also powered by the 12v from the bike? I know there a lots of brackets available to mount them, but looking for recommendations as to what player to buy. I have a small one, about the size of a pack of gum, but the controls are really small and not user-friendly when wearing gloves.

I just bought anew iPod nano 4 gig mp3 player it work extremely well and is either in mypocket or windshield bag with earphones on. Eventually when I get my new fairing on my RK I canjust plug t this unit in and operate it through the stereo. I find the controls easy to navigate with gloves on.

go with an IPOD they're cheap and work with anything, or just carry with you when not on the scoot. a little velcro is all you need to mount it.

I did the velcro mount-excellent mount--have to remember to remove it when you get off the scooter---most times I don't.

I have had the HD player for a couple of years now and I love it. Rock solid mounting, glove friendly buttons and it looks damn good on the handlebars. The SD chips make it's capacity limitless. Some folks have had problems with mounting a player with a hard drive due to vibration.
