XM Antenna Kit

Any suggestions for a mount location for the zūmo 550 XM Antenna on an 09 Road King, FLHR?

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

I have seen them mounted in several locations . If you keep the windshield on always you can glue it to the inside bottom of the windshield and run the wire up along the bars . There is also a handlebar clamp with a mounting pad to put the antenna on . If you want it hidden you can install it inside the nacelle but you'll have to play with the location due to all the metal around it . I've even seen them under the seats but again you would have to experiment with location .

Jeff... If you're using the Zumo cradle, Cyclegadgets.com has a nice XM plate/mount that slips in behind the Zumo cradle and the XM magnetic receiver just snaps to it. Third item down on the page here:

Garmin Zumo 550 GPS (with XM Radio and/or MP3)
