Here is a picture of how the iPod connection cable comes out of the fairing along the handle bar.

Here is a picture of the iPod mounted on the handle bar and the iPod cable connected to it.

Here is the last photo without the iPod and only the handle bar mount.  I put a piece of velcro on the cable and stuck it to the bottom of the mount so it is out of the way.

If anyone is curious about the handle bar mount here is a link to it.  I used a Marware case and handle bar mount.

Never had an iPod.  So forgive if this is obvious to everyone else.  But are these things waterproof (enough)?

[h2oski]

Not really waterproof at all.  In a light sprinkle I will leave it on the handle bar, but in full rain it comes off and goes in the pocket.

I have done a decent amount of upgrading to the stereo on my 04 SEEG over the years so that I can hear my iPod.  The sound quality of the iPod being connected from the head phone jack is pretty poor.  I orginally added some Hog Tunes, but I kept blowing them from turning the volume up to loud.  Then I added the Hawg Wired Amp and a set of the Hawg Wired premium speakers and the iPod still didn't sound very good.  Compared to a CD the sound quality was horrible.  I was ready to give up on the iPod. 

I realized I was trying to make something sound better after I had degraded the signal so I started researching on how to get a better signal from the ipod.  I started looking at options to use the 30 pin connector on the bottom of the iPod for the audio out.  This is a line level output so I was hopping that it would eliminate the sound quality issues.  I purchased a PIE UNI-POD on ebay for $70.  I installed it last week and wow what a difference.  Now my iPod actually sounds better than my cds that I play.  I can hear the stereo with the ipod playing at all speeds with ear plugs in and the short stock windshield.  It has a variable output that adjusts with a dial on the unit.  I played with it a little bit, but I actually set it to where it was set when I opened the box.  The other great thing about the PIE adapter is that it charges while it plays so I only have one cable coming out of my fairing now.  I also did the aux input upgrade of adding a second input in the back of the radio.  The PIE unit fit right next to the amp on top of the stock radio.  I used the same power sources as the amp and have no noise problems.  I would recommend this to anyone that wants better sound from their iPod.

Thank you for the info.    I need to get one of those PIE UNI-PODs for my truck.

Forget wires and input jacks.  I used a piece of industrial strength velcro on the inside lower part of my windshield to mount the Ipod and I use an FM transmitter to send the signal to 87.9.  It sounds better than any local station because the transmitter is always close to the antenna.
