Any suggestions as to how to wire the + and - wires? I know I can find a ground location and can always go directly to the + battery post, but is there a terminal strip any where? I would like to make it a neat installation. I honestly have not yet poked around myself. Planning on working on it over the weekend. Any ideas would be appreciated.

You can tap into the wires coming out of the cigarette plugs. They are on a fused line.

Travis, my XM antenna is mounted on a bracket that connects to my GPS. I have seen some put the antenna on the top of the topcase or side case. Use some velcro and your good to go. : )

I have my XM antenna mounted on my top case w/ dual lock (super velcro). I have the extra length coiled under the seat and then run the wire with the end that plugs into the radio under the airbox cover and out the front to the handlebars.

I, also, run the power cord with an extension the same way to the rear power outlet under the seat at the back.

Travisd: go to tssradio.com. They have a Sirius antenna with an 8" wire. They also have excellent, very professional looking brackets which include a platform for the antenna. I got mine today. Very high quality and good stuff.

Froggy: this sounds like a good tap in spot. I take it there is no terminal anywhere?

I have three ways:

1. Earphones plugged into the cradle for my Roady XT.

2. Use my Scala Rider Q2 and listen to it broadcast on FM from the Roady XT.

3. Plug my Jabra A120s bluetooth adapter into cradle for the Roady XT and listen to it via bluetooth w/ the Scala Rider Q2.

Most times I prefer earphones. They double at blocking wind noise.
