I have the Zumo 550 and could not be happier. It is a very nice unit and I also use it in my cars.

Try Wal Mart I bought a Lowrance Zod that is waterproof and I have been using it for 2 years now and works great... I found it in the sports section where the boating supply's were..... Around $ 150.00

If you can find a new Zumo 550 with all the accessories for 4 to 5 hundred let me know where. I will buy it as a spare in case the one I am using goes South.

From Zanotti:
Zumo 660, fairing mount kit, navigation interface module = $832; shipping extra.
The module enables music volume from radio to drop when gps spoken command is issued. Check page 623 in new catalog for more info.

I use a Garmin 700 series that I got for my car. Ram Mounts makes handle bar mounting for it and it works well. Can download ride routes from HD ride planner. If it rains I put a ziplock baggie over it, no troubles

I believe you have the letters wrong. Lowrance made a waterproof XOG which is now discontinued, but can still be purchased at Amazon.com.

U are right it is Xog !!!!

I just used a Garmin from my car with this mount. He makes mounts for other GPSs and handlebars. My GPS has bluetooth - assume most do. If your radio isn't bluetooth, you can get a headset for helmets that is.

I have the 660 ... it is the same but without the XM radio ... my 660 works great ... be percise when you program in your route or the gps will try and find its own way to your destination ...

I just hooked up my Zumo 665 and integrated it into the Harley Stereo system with the optional wiring harness. I did not use the XM radio feature on the Zumo 665 ,I opted for the external module for XM radio. What I like about the 665 that I can hear it thru the stereo speakers with the optional wiring harness you have to buy. Yea its expensive but once you set it up its worth it . I did buy a GPS hood off ebay to cut the sunlight glare screen.

We absolutely LOVE our H-D GPS. Because of the reverse mechanism on the left, we couldn't use the chrome GPS mount. So, our H-D dealer ordered us a CVO dash pad with a built in GPS mount. They installed the dash pad and hardwired the GPS into the Trike audio system. Easy to remove the GPS and use in the car. We have used an auto Tom-Tom for years, and it took us a while to get use to the Garmin logic.....they use different algorithms for calculating the route. Also, if you miss a turn, Garmin tries 3 times to get you back on it's route before recalculating a new route for you.

Has anybody setup the XM weather feature on the Zumo 665? If so is it worth paying for a subscription for the XM weather ?
