I've seen threads in the past that have touched on this topic, but wanted to see if anyone out there currently has their Autocom mounted in the left fairing pocket on an ST1300.
I have it under the seat now, but that eliminates the ability to easily make any adjustments to the audio levels. Having to take the seat off each time is not convenient.
Also, with all the farkles going into the Autocom being located in the front of the bike, having the AC there would eliminate a lot of wires traveling back to the rear of the bike.
The only concerns I've ever heard mentioned focused on the heat factor. I'd want to be comfortable that the combination of a Texas July and the ST's ability to warm up the fairing pockets a tad isn't going to fry this expensive little electronic box.
Love to hear from anyone who's done it. Even better if there are pics!
