CB install 2020 RG ltd
Looking to purchase a 2020 or 2021 RG Limited. Would like some guidance on installing the HD CB and cabling. I prefer staying wired and not moving into the wireless components at this time. Any help with the install and parts list would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Other than that, the wiring and antenna cable are all there under the outer fairing for easy hook up. All you need is the CB kit (76000486A), right hand switch pack with the PTT button (71500130C I think), antenna mounting stud (76000166), and the CB antenna.

Thanks Lefty!
Any knowledge on the wiring that needs to be installed for rider and passenger headsets? Is the 7 pin connection still on the console for the rider? I read somewhere (I think) that the passenger 7 pin plug has to be installed separately. I assume the intercom still exists? Did you need to have the radio "flashed" after the CB was installed? Is the CB the same as previous bikes or is it different? Thank again.
Nice bike!! That's what I'm looking for.

Once the CB is installed then yes, the dealer will have to flash it in order for the CB to be activated and show up on your GTS screen. The CB kit 76000486A (or audio bike-too-bike communication as HD calls it) is the same unit for 2014 + year bikes. Hope this helps.

Thank you Lefty! I stopped by the HD dealer yesterday. They had a 2021 RG Ltd. on the floor. Reading your replies and seeing the bike it now makes sense. I’m accustom to having the PTT button on the left side. I’ve come across some info in the past that talks about a conversion that allows moving the PTT from the right side to the left. Any knowledge on that topic? Thanks again!

If you haven't already, go here...https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...it/p/76000486A It's the CB kit you'll order. Scroll down and click on "Details" and it will open up to show you fitment and additional parts with part numbers (antenna, switchback, PTT button, antenna stud) you'll need. Further, if you click on "Installation Instructions" it will open a new page with full instructions.

Good morning DD. Got your PM...been tied up here today, so sorry for the delay. First off...congrats on the new 2020 RGL
I'm going to respond here on the open Forum just in case I'm mistaken and another member can point you in the right direction.
As far as I know, I don't believe the PTT button is available as a lighted button on it's own. You can buy just the cap (71500225), but the switch itself would not be lit.
Assuming your bike has Traction Control, I believe you'd have to buy the complete kit...71500561for $269.95 (online retailer may sell for less) https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...hes/p/71500561
In hindsight I wish I would have gone this route as the right side (non lighted) 71500130C retails for $170.86. For another $100 you'd get both sides...lighted.
