I made a little bracket and glued it to the top center of my windshield, then ran the antenna lead along the edge of the windshield and used chrome plastic door molding tro conceal the wire and dress up my shield on Goldie. On the trike i just ran the lead back to the trunk rack and stuck it on there. Unlike Freebird's cheap magnet, mine stays put...

I have a 2nd gen but mounted it on the dash, cut a small notch in the fairing where it dosen`t show and ran the wire inside the fairing, not sure about a first gen..

I too have a 2nd gen, I mounted mine inside the fairing, I made a mounting plate attached to one of the cassette mounting screws.

How is it being linked to the sound system? Thru a Zumo? Thru a special in dash radio?

Depending on the answer I may have some interesting ideas (and pictures to boot).

I have a cable that plugs into the ant outlet on the bike then to the xm.

I did the sirius hook up to my goldwing.

What i did was on the left lower fairing I used the window suction mount but ommited the suction mount.

Went to the local hardware store and picked up a bracket that would hold the hmount nicely.

i could also loosen the wing nut and remove or readjust as nesessary. The ant was routed under the seat and velcro 'd to the top of the trunk. I also used an in line modulator which goed between the factory ant and the radio.

i picked this up at radio shack.

This gets rid of almost all static.

I have been from the tip of ny to york pA without having to change stations.

On my families miniva, weve gone from jersey to florida without static. with this little device.
