2007 RG. Recommendations for 2 up communicaion between wife and I. Have no idea what works - would like to keep it simple. Have been looking at Blueant bluetooth headsets. Ideas appreciated.

Thanks

My wife smacks me up side the head and then says her piece. I usually just nod or shake my head, depending on what she wants. Do you really need to communicate more than that while riding?

I've got the intercomm on my 08 Ultra and the wife and I use it all the time. The problem is that if you don't wear a full face helmet you are going to get wind noise in the mic a lot of the time. Its starting to get warm enough around here that I don't know how much longer I'll be able to force myself to wear the FF bucket, so we may end up going back to the smack on the back of the head for the summer.
