Having now completed several thousand miles on the limited I feel qualified to provide an evaluation of the position of the Push To Talk (PTT) switch for the CB radio --- in short and specific terms – “IT SUCKS A BIG ONE!!!’--- whomever at Mother HD that came up with this RH position has never ever ridden this bike and to used the CB --- why would anyone in their right mind try to put this on the same side as the throttle ??---it might work when a rider is on cruise control but trying to thumb the PTT while properly controlling the throttle is dangerous as hell especially in city traffic when trying to lead a group of riders. The pre 14 bikes with the switch on the LH side are vastly better plain and simple------sometimes one has to wonder about the experience and mentality of those engineering designer types that make these decisions --- get a rope!

Hopefully somebody will develop a means by which to move the PTT to the left handlebar position where it belongs --- as somebody previously mentioned it would be even better located where the odometer button is.

 

Plus with the newest software you really don't know if you made a transmission because you can no longer can hear yourself in the headphones.

 

You are correct on all points! Reverse the mileage switch and the push to talk and all would be well! I would gladly pay for the soft ware to do this! How can we get HD to hear our pain and improve their product????????

 

Agree 100 percent. I have 8200 miles on my Road Glide, most of those miles with other riders with CB's. That PTT switch is one of the few gripes I have with the bike.

 

Even if they put a mileage type switch on the right for PTT, that would be much better.

 

1. Switch location is pitiful, someone has lost their mind! Move it to the left side where the mileage reset button....
2. No hand mic, what the !!!....get with it HD
3. I just bought a 2016 SGS and HD says I can't install a CB radio....WTH?

 

No thanks. Never had it on any bike with a factory CB since 1995, certainly don't need to hear my own voice now.

 

Before the latest update you could turn it up to hear yourself or turn it down and not hear. I like to hear because I know I am transmitting.

 

It's just feels awkward even after 15K miles on it and we always use CB can't figured out how to get used to it. Old one didn't need improvements it was positioned well and very user friendly why the heck they made changes who knows who they are listening to.

 

I made this complaint almost 2 years ago with a recommendation that a button like the mileage button be placed on the right side. AND ALAS, nothing has happened. They claim that the Rushmore was designed with input from riders, but apparently their riders didn't use CBs.
