MP3 mounting
Im looking for mounting ideas for my mp3.Anyone found an mp3 mount they where happy with?Also the shortest cable Ive come across is 2 feet long.There are a couple in the J AND P but they all look like something you buy and then need to modify.

Re: MP3 mounting
I went the cheap way and zip tied the belt portion of a carrying case for my Ipod Touch just to the left of the throttle/grip. Got a cable at Radio Shack and simply wound the extra around the handlebar. Two seconds to unclip the Ipod whenever I leave the bike anywhere. It may look "ghetto" but it's cheap, easy, and works great!

Re: MP3 mounting
I got a chrome mount from Kuryakyn that clamps on the handlebar, but they also have one that will mount on the grip/control module. I've got a belt case for the mp3 that clips right on. The mount is also drilled so you can mount different types of electronic brackets to it. On the cable, I bought the shortest length at Radio Shack (~3 ft) and used zip ties to fold/shorten it.

Re: MP3 mounting
Here is a thought, as to what my wife uses on her 09 EGC.
1- She puts her iPOD in a HD "glove-box" mounted on the instrument panel/windshield. 2- She uses a foot-long cable that came stock with her "Horizon" tread-mill. 3- And she can control the function/operation of the iPOD using her "I-Control Timex" watch she bought at Sears ($100), that uses blue-tooth technology to control the iPOD remotely! ![]() Neat! |
