Like Steve, I have one also that came with the bike. Funny thing is, I LIKE IT!! I also have an aux. cable from the fairing to also use for mp3 player, so I get best of both worlds there. Steve did do a great job securing it in his trunk. Mine sits in place on the L saddle bag and I just put my rain gear, cycle pump, fuses and such in there. I use the trunk more than the L saddlebag. I would recommend seeing about asking Steve up on his offer to tinker. The man is, nice, smart, friendly, knowledgable, and lives CLOSE TO YOU !!!!?
