Ipod while riding

I listen to an Ipod while on the country back roads and riding my Road King. Since I don't have a fairing with a radio to connect to I am stuck with the earbuds under my helmet.

Anyone use other methods eg: Bluetooth, Chatterbox etc...??? I was looking at the J&M Corp. Bluetooth to get away from wires entirely but do not see an Ipod accessory online.

you need to do more research, I have never used or seen one...

also, you could go with something like 2wheel tunes, or simular product.....

After the 3.0 software update you will be able to use bluetooth stereo headsets with the iphone and should work with the ipod touch also. The iphone is going to a2dp
