I was gifted a Zumo 660 that was originally on a Harley. I bought the wiring mount and was wondering how to run the loom down through the handle bar holes. The loom has all the other connecters that I won't be using. How do I get that big glob of wires down through the bike? All I need is the power and ground.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Zumo 660 where to run wires

Exactly as you said. I installed the Zumo 665 with XM. Remove the side panel and access cover. Feed the wire(s) through the gap below the handlebars. You can now reach in and pull the wires through. I removed the frunk also and then fed the wires to the battery for direct, always on power.
You can also choose to feed the wires back to the actual GPS connection point just below the drivers seat behind the panel.

I just purchased a 2014 Spyder RT Limited that came with Zumo 660. I traded in my 2005 Gold Wing and took my Zumo 665 and harness off. My husband and I were wondering if the 665 could be wired on the Spyder.
I found your noted on this forum dated May 2016 "Exactly as you said. I installed the Zumo 665 with XM. Remove the side panel and access cover. Feed the wire(s) through the gap below the handlebars.

Can you give me any other information that we might need to help with installation, such as where did you put the XM antenna? Pictures might help also. We're going to have the dealer install as my husband isn't the best mechanic, plus the dealer is installing CB sometime this week.
Thank you for any help.

I am using a 665 and run the wires to the right side of the bike just behind the gas tank. I put the XM Puck under the right side under the frunk. To make the job easier I removed the headlight to run the wire thru the handlebar area then to the back of the bike.
This way it can be plugged into the radio for sound as the 3.5 mm jack is back by the power connector too.
The 660 harness will work but it may or may not get XM or weather or traffic.

I run a Garmin Nüvi 56 LM. $5o average in eBay. Connected it to the OEM Gps power under the left rear side panel including audio. Zumo too expensive for my blood. If you hook up the audio to the GPS outlet near the power, it will interrupt your music from any source for directions.
