Has anyone installed satellite radio on their bike?

Would you consider sharing a few photos, installation tips and information regarding things like:

How to keep the control units dry
How and where to mount the units
How to connect to a headset
Where to put the antenna (I've heard that the fluid reserviors work well)

You know... a nice complete Installation Guide and FAQ :grin:

Thanks

Do you have a Sirius Sat rad on the bike? I prefurred the look of the Sirius head unit but found no output leads that could plug into an RCA type cord, Sirius is FM modulated only (from what I understand) and I had to install a FM radio onboard inorder for it to work?

Auto start on the XX.......................VERY COOL!!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

According to J & M's catolog there looking into this matter as we speak, they do have a couple of walkman/mp3 covers that would probably work just fine.

The sirius labeled panasonic unit we use has rca outputs, the audiovox unit does as well. They also have non modulated setups available thru kenwood and others. I dont have an audio setup on my bike yet, I do have a set of j&m pods sittin waitin to go into my helmet, but Im waitin for a free satt radio system to fall outta the sky (It happens sometimes in my biz).
