Why? I ain't. Just more crapadoola to malfunction, and the sweet music of my pipes is all I need.
I would keep your RoadKing a REAL bike without all that electronic foofaraw.
Ever had a stereo on your bike?

My guess nope.

Sena has half-helmet ear pads, some with a built in boom mike, for various systems. They've also got their own half-helmet with everything built into it.

I knew about this option. Still really curious to know how to do the 20s in the half helmet without the ear pockets. I'd be ok with the ear pockets on mine if I had them, I guess I can always buy them from Amazon. And I'm kind of against the Sena helmet. Not a fan of the look, the fit (for my odd noggin) or the cost!

Thanks for the reply though.

I had the Harley Boom Audio on my Dyna Wide Glide. I had no problems at highway speeds hearing it. It was an easy an clean install. I now have a Street Glide and do like stereo, but if I ever went back I would purchase it again in a heartbeat. Just my 2cents.

I used to do the LG Tone also, then it got soaked in a downpour and keep dialing the wife. She was freaking out because it had so much water in it that I couldn't talk. She thought I went down. So now I have a UClear Vybe the sound is great. I plan on upgrading to the UClear AMP Pro and get the earbuds. This way I can block the wind noise and still talk. For some reason UClear is the only one with Earbuds.
