CB Question
I would use the intercom more than the CB. But I do ride in groups with my MC every month, and it would be beneficial to hear what everyone is saying. I also do not want the JM unit on the bars..

Got a 2010 RG, wife was going to get me a CB for Christmas, stopped by the dealership and service advised her that I would have to get a new radio with the CB function....I thought all the HK radios were the same....I know it would have to be flashed for CB operation, but a new radio? that sounds like BS to me.....
Guess I'm going with the J&M unit....
Still, gotta throw the BS flag on the dealer...or am I wrong.

I just did this upgrade on my 09 SG. I ride solo so I didn't need the intercom. I went with the HD module instead of the J&M because it is built in and doesn't mount on the handlebars and look aftermarket. Install is straight forward just time consuming. No need to reflash the radio on my 09. I do recommend using J&M headsets. They are superior to the HD units.
Here are all of the PN#'s needed:
Boom! Audio Music and Intercom Kit 77108-09 $379.99
Boom! Audio Bike-to-Bike (B2B) Communications Kit 76416-06C $299.99
Boom! Audio System Wiring Harness 70169-06 $129.95
Done the research. Parts are a little cheaper through MandM Parts than anywhere else, but still not very much. Maybe 150.00 total.

Thanks all, I think I'll order the parts and do it myself...it ain't rocket science.....

Thanks again for the responses.

No, I haven't. I was just pointing out that in the directions (which are available on the site now) that the mike port adheres to the tank with this kit, not replaces the center console; which is why I will be using this one when I gather the funds and put this project ahead of the others I currently want to get done. I think a tour pak or luggage will be first.
