Wanted tunes on my new 06 but the CD player installation is big bucks, soooo got the smallest iPod @ Costco, wired up the aux. input connection that came with the bike, had a couple of oldie albums installed at the apple store and the little iPod fits easily in the fairing pocket. Synchonizing volumes, 24hr battery life of the iPod (I picked up a charger for on the road) seem to be the only bumps.
