Default Bluetooth /CB/Intercom Communication Question

Hello all,

Here's my question. I have a 2008 Street Glide and I have the Harley CB/Intercom system on it. I also have my helmets equipped with the Harley headsets 77147-98, which is the older version boom and speakers for the helmet. I recently bought the Sena SMH-10 Bluetooth for my helmet because my Brother-In-Law has an HD with no communications. He purchased the Sena setup as well. The Bluetooth's works great for us for bike to bike communications. Last week I was on a ride where we had some Bluetooth's and some CB's. Unfortunately, the two can't communicate with one and other. A friend made a bracket for my helmet that allowed me to attach booth systems to my helmet give me communication with both. Here is the problem. I have to put both sets of speakers in the helmet so i lose some sound quality because neither of the speakers are directly over my ear. also I have to turn the volume down on my bluetooth to hear the CB. It's not the best setup but it works for now. Does anyone know of a way to hook up one set of speakers so that the Harley hardwired CB will override the Sena Bluetooth system when the CB mic is pushed? I prefer the Sena Speakers over the Harley speakers because they sound better.

I look forward to hearing any thoughts on this,

OPDSam30
