I saw some installs with the pro mounts. The type where the unit sits to the right of the radio. I decided to go with the supplied mounting stand.

With the position of the sportster, I have no need for the remote. I can have my arm on the console and reach the presets with no problem.

I ran the wires through the center panel where the radio is. I'm also running the SATSWB adapter which took out the static. Question: If I change HU and go to hard wire route, does going hard wire give you CD quality? For the power, I saw an install with the radio shack cigarette lighter adapter and went that route.

I mounted antenna right above the 3rd brake light. I had to take the light out and ran the wire through that. Then I ran it though the headliner and down the passenger side door.
I'm happy the the install and the overall look and sound. I would like to thank everyone with the informative posts and hope to became part of the sirius community.
