I was one of the fortunate one's to pick up a dash shelf from Ron last May. I finally slowed down enough to instal it.
Anyway I have the Passport 8500 X50, Garmin Quest (oops forgot to zero that max MPH ;-) ) and, a lighter socket with the Quest speaker/ power. (I move both the Quest and 8500 b/t the ST and my F-150)
The dash instal was pretty straight forward and looks OEM.
I left the MP3 player and Boosteroo on the bars since they are real easy to reach there.
I have the 8500, MP3 player and my cell going through a StarCom1. On my left bar I added a coin holder for all the tolls in KY (too bad but H-D was the best I could find)

Hey there,
I have an install tutorial on installing Ron's shelf:
Ron Smith's ST1300 Dash Shelf Install How-To (http://www.hard-core-ware.com/howtos/index.php?page=shelf)
There's many ways to mount the other things you have and I don't think I've seen anyone ever follow someone else's advice on installing something as they usually follow their own ideas. I'll point you to a pic of what my dash looks like. If you have any questions or want some help just let me know. I'll give you as much help as you need.

Also here's a Farklemania thread with most of my stuff on it although I've added a few small things since then. You can check out the farkles section or the Farklemania threads for ideas also. Rocket Cowboy and myself both have this dash shelf:

If your pic is already on line use the pic icon in the editor to add the link into your post and it will embed it in your post. If you need to upload the pic from your PC then use the "Manage Attachments" at the bottom of the post form in the "Additional Options" section to upload your pic as a thumbnail.
Hope that helps.

Crazy,
The link to the dash installation appears to be zapped, I get re-routed to MS downloads :)

Ron has since passed away but you may be able to get one if you act quickly.
