XM Satellite Radio and The Harley-Davidson Motor Company are offering riders an all-new option for receiving programming. The new Road Tech(TM) AL20 XM Satellite Radio is the first portable XM unit exclusively designed for many 1996 and later model Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

The handlebar mounted Road Tech AL20 radio is available through the Harley-Davidson Parts and Accessories program for an MSRP of $249.95.

Harley-Davidson says every feature of the Road Tech AL20 XM Satellite Radio was designed with the motorcyclist in mind. The radio is waterproof, making it suitable for use in any climate.

An LCD screen and adjustable backlighting allows riders to view song titles with the same ease as data from other motorcycle gauges.

The large backlit buttons also help to ensure that riding gloves don't become an obstacle to changing channels.

As a special benefit to seasonal riders, the radio kit comes with an automobile mounting bracket. With the additional purchase of an automobile kit from XM, the Radio Tech AL20 can be transferred to a four-wheel "ride" during winter.

Harley-Davidson says the Road Tech AL20 is simple to use for owners of 1996 and later Harley-Davidson models equipped with a Genuine Motor Accessory Road Tech(TM) Radio or 1998 and later models equipped with an original equipment fairing mount radio. Each Road Tech AL20 XM Satellite Radio will include three months of complimentary XM service.

The Road Tech AL20 XM Satellite Radio is featured in the August 2006 edition of Harley-Davidson's Genuine Parts and Accessories catalog, and enthusiasts can also preview the entire XM product line at the annual Sturgis Rally during the first week of August.
