Well, just made the jump up to baggerville.
Traded my 03 Wideglide for an 09 Ultra. Whatta diff.....lol. still trying yo get used to the weight difference, but this baby is better balanced so it just doesn't seem so heavy. We took a nice ride Sat up to Rebel Road in Muskegon. Not sure what I like best, the ride or the stereo....lol. But I do wish it had bluetooth.

Now looking at doing a roadtrip.....somewhere.....lol

Congrats on new bike.
Bluetooth is not hard to get, just depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. You can order a basic BT module to plug into Aux port for about $20 or get one that intigrates into radio with display and hand controls for around $200.
A search of the forum should be helpful on what others have done.

What do you mean it doesn't have Bluetooth? You can't marry your phone to the radio or are you talking BT for helmets? What am I not understanding? I have a '17 SGS maybe that's the difference.

Hiya Mike,
Welcome to the Touring Forum...

Slide on over to the Audio Forum and get comfortable (take your reading glasses, your gonna be there a while) 8-)
Your best option is going to be an aftermarket head unit with BT already built in... and you'll get better radio reception and audio quality as a bonus!

And, Congrats on the new (to you) bagger !
