Hi All !
I need some help in researching a radio for my 1150RS- Gave up an RT and bought the RS I currently have. My two immediate issues are the seat (just ordered a heated Corbin for it) and... I really need a radio. I'm not a fan of riding with ear buds or ear muffs and would prefer a handlebar mount radio system- even a satellite system. I've tried some web searches, but have not gotten much info. Any help would be appreciated- :banghead

So you're looking for something to listen to "tunes" on?

XM/Sirius + the Autocom system of your choice with helmet speakers.

Added bonus is that the Autocom will also allow you to communicate bike to bike (with an additional walki-talkie type radio, etc) as well as hear the instructions from your GPS.

Do you have a Garmin Zumo? they have a built in MP3 player. of course you would still need ear buds or a headset...

Thanks for the reply. I checked my helmet last night against the size specs for the HS24 - Iasus XSound2 Helmet Speakers and it looks like they'll fit nicely. I don't have the Garmin Zumo- still using the auto Garmin. It seems that Sirius is definitely the way to go for radio, though. Thanks for the info!:dance
