Default Bike to bike communication question

I have a '16 RGU. I choose to go the wired headset route in order to utilize the hand controls, and I am very happy with it. I'm able to communicate well with my wife as a passenger, my phone and iPod both work well for music and phone calls. I don't call or answer a the phone very much, but it's a nice feature at an appropriate time, if needed or wanted.

With 1.20.03 it's also nice to be able to use Siri for sending or receiving a text.

My question is; how can I communicate bike to bike since there is no longer a CB? Bluetooth bike to bike would be preferable.

Sorry if this topic has been brought up in the past, I tried various searches and did not come up with a preferred result.

The Sena 20S with the Harley adapter fits the bill here-and worked great for me and a freind on a 6k Sturgis trip this past summer, or you can add a CB to each bike (but you didn't mention what the other bike is you want comms with).

Searching "sena" or "communication" will turn up tons of threads to read.

My friend does not have a CB either, that's why bluetooth is preferred.

You still didn't say what bike he has, but here are links to the Sena stuff I mentioned...

https://www.sena.com/product/20s/

And this:

It will work on yours for sure...

Ok...Sena for each of you, plus the HD adapter for you. Same setup we used (my friend has a 2008 RG with no comms). Not cheap however but will do everything you asked, plus he can use his phone and listen to music.
