Roady2 is closed out. Might have to google to find one. See if your local Best Buy or Circuit City has any hiding on the shelves. They might. Buy dot com has a Roady2/PAS bundle for $80. The Personal Audio System turns the Roady2 into a walkman. I used it before I got my Airware. I regret buying it ...

It's a relatively new radio, and has it's own cradle. Does the cradle mount on the standard face plate? If it does...

I have 4 XM Radios. 3 Roady2's, and a Pioneer Airware. XM rules my audio world you could say... been a sub since Feb 2002, before cool portable radios existed. Roady2 is a fine solution for the Roadster. Can be had for 20 bucks now. I got the entire mounting setup at cyclegadgets.com and had my deal...

That is not so far fetched. Before I bought a R1150R I went to all kinds of dealers, looking at bikes. My buddies had HD, so I went to look at those also. The Dyna had a sticker on it of 16,250 USD. I started asking about out the door costs and the salesman told me that I would want to get the Stage...

Been using a $65 Chase Harper on 2 different bikes now for 7 years. Works great. Magnets are so good I can put it sideways on the tank to fill up. I lost the strap long ago. There are as many flavors of bags as there are riders. Find your price point, and compare features. http://www.denniskirk.com ...
