Jeff, I'd think that position would cause lots of signal drop-outs due
to the rollbars or windshield frame getting in the way once in a while
as he drives around. Afterall, that satellite signal is strictly
line-of-sight as you are well aware. :)

Set it on the top of the dash board in the little paperclip cup. It should
work fine there. I have mine (in my BMW) stuck with a small dab of SuperGlue
to the dash board at the base of the windshield. It works great.

Thanks for all the feedback... I like the idea of the antenna under the
rollbar padding. Still don't know what I'm going to do about the Roady2
unit (display unit). I need to find a better way to power it -- I use the
cigarette lighter for my cell phone charger AND my CB... already have a
2-way adapter. A 3-way would be too big.

Great spot for a GPS antenna, too.
