Hi Ken,

There were a few threads on this last year.  I screwed a piece of  
angle iron on an inside edge of the luggage compartment and stuck the  
antenna there.  Some put it under the luggage rack and I read  
somewhere that at least one has taken it back from under there.

The  cable is currently routed through the passenger door, but it also  
can go back and under the canvas, then over the headliner.  I'll be  
doing that in time.

What type of receiver?  I have the Sportster with a suction cup that  
holds it to the windshield.  I started with it in the middle of the  
windshield but moved it to the left side of the windshield where I can  
reach it better.  Then ran the wires down the column.

Did you know that if you have high speed Internet access you can also  
play Sirius through your home computer?  It's at WWW.Sirius.com.   
Select "Listen" and enter username and password.

Best,
