| Less than 50 bucks!
I found that this installation is very easy and cheap
compared to many other cycle radios. It looks great and can be
removed quick and easy by just sliding it off the bracket and
stick it in your pocket. Its not weather resistant but either is
my bike.
I picked this radio because of price and features. It is loud
and very easy to use. It has a clock, channel lock and 25 preset
channels. I did buy different earphones only because I needed
smaller ones for my style helmet. It is mounted in a location
that is easy to get to with either hand.
Items needed:
-SONY SRF-M37V Walkman w/belt clip and earphones $29.00 Target
TV /weather/preset channels and loud
-Reflector bracket from right side of forks FREE
-Radio Shack 6' black extension cord for headset $6.00
-male/female adapter for headphone jack $3.00
-2 flat washers nickel size
-small nut and bolt
1-Remove those 2 reflectors from forks, didn't like them
anyways.
2-Remove yellow reflector from bracket and save the bracket
from the right side fork.
3-The belt clip on the walkman is removable, in the center of
the reflector bracket is a small hole. This is where the belt
clip is going to be attached. The two ends of the bracket also
has holes already drilled. Use them later.

4-Remove belt clip from radio and attach it to the center of
the reflector bracket. Use 2 flat washers and bolt to attach it.
No drilling required anywhere. The bolt head must be small so
that the clip will slide back on the radio when done.
5-Remove the 2 hex bolts from handle bar risers (closest to
tank). The reflector bracket's holes lines up perfect with these
holes.
6-Attach bracket to raiser and install the 2 hex bolts back
into the risers. I added 2 washers here and longer bolts. I only
added longer screws cause I had them already. The factory bolts
work fine.

7-Slide Walkman onto mounted bracket which has the belt clip
installed. Clips right on easy.
**Step 8-9 can be skipped and just plug headset right into
the radio, but the wind flaps the wire all around and hits tank
and your face.


8-The extension wire needs to be tucked under the tank and
run back to the front of your seat. I had to remove seat to get
it just right. Not needed to do this, but I wanted to flex tie
the cable around its route to the seat. I also removed the tank
to do this. This also is not necessary I just did it. It works
fine without doing any of the tank or seat removal. The wire is
just sticking out of the edge of my seat, above the frame.
9-Attach male/female adapter and plug headset in.
10-Put headset on and run headset wire under jacket and plug
it into the female adapter which is now right in front of your
seat.
Now you got tunes!
