Satalite Radio Recomendations
Anybody got a good recommendation for a satellite radio system for the connie, I have a Sirius in my car, and would probably stick with them, what models would best suite the bike?
Thanks in advance

I am planning on buying a Garmin Zumo 550 and it has XM capability. The only thing bad is it doesn't have stereo Bluetooth. Right now I am using my BlackBerry Curve and it broadcasts to my helmet via Bluetooth. One would have to use a dongle to get it to be wireless to your helmet.

the 550 is uber-sweet, but XM is a separate unit (the whole XM radio) that costs a few hundred bux as of last time I priced it

XM Roady
I've been using a cheap XM Roady for the last 3 years and it works just great without any added amplifier. I had it on a Ram mount on my previous bike, but I've just tucked in the front pocket of my tank bag on my C14. I may remount it later on. but it works just fine where it is. It's never missed a beat and I paid less than $50 for it.
PS - It is a little harder to change stations with it in the tank bag, but I don't change the stations all that much. I've also downloaded a ton of music into my ZUMO450, and that also works great.
