This past Spring I installed a Garmin Zumo 665 with XM Satellite receiver on my '12 R1200GS. I've been disappointed with the satellite reception. So far I've tried two temporary mounting locations for the XM puck style antenna and haven't noticed an improvement. First, I mounted on the front side of the instrument/windscreen mount. Next I simply set the antenna on top of the rear luggage rack (not a location where I want to keep the antenna but I thought I'd get fantastic reception here). My point of comparison is my car. I have Sirius/XM in the car with factory roof antenna. I never loose reception in the car in overcast conditions or in the local mountains. Any suggestions? -- Tony
