Last night I install XM satellite radio on my motorcycle.

It's soo cool.  I bet I have the only Bike in the town I live in with 
satellite radio... and it's not even a Goldwing!  :-)

The only downside was trying to find a place to install the antenna.  I 
finally decided on the top of the headlight, where it should have the best 
view of the sky.  But it definately detracts from the chrome.  All the 
additional antenna wire is stuffed into the headlight housing.  I 
installed a standard 12v accessory plug in the storage compartment in the 
side of the bike, and plugged the XM radio in there, carefully running the 
power wire under the tank so it's not visible.  The radio itself is 
mounted on the center of the handlebars, easily visible while driving.

Tonight I will run a splitter, and second output for the passenger.

Now, if I could only find a place for the amps, speakers, and subs!
