I have installed a few in customers bikes... really a convenience, if you need the instant accessability to your phone.....

As long as you don't mind wearing a helmet with boom-mike on, it is a cinch to operate....

You will need to have the Tank pod installed on your bike, so to jack in the headset/mike, and you will lose a bit of storage space in the Tour Pack....

it is on newer cell phones.... it allows you to talk through a wireless earpiece and or a wireless setup that goes through you autos speakers..... it operate in a certain radio frequency between your phone and capable devices...

I get great pleasure from the fact that I can't answer a phone call while on my bike. It's the one place I can escape to without interuptions.

I also am looking to buy the bluetooth adapter for my 06 Ultra Classic and would like to hear from people who have them installed. It sounds like a good idea but I hate to lay out over $500 to find out it doesn't work very well.

The Oakley Sun Glasses work very well but are expensive.

I'm on call 24/7 on my job so I need to use blue tooth. I already have the premium stereo on my ultra. Can it be upgraded with the existing radio or do I have to shell out the whole 500 for the upgrade. I'm betting that all the radios have the electronics in them for the XM, GPS, Blue tooth etc.. it's just a matter of activating it and maybe adding a bluetooth receiver under the fairing.

The reciever/converter is installed in the tourpack......

You will need to get the overlay harness as well, as it is not included in the kit....

The phone is left in the T/P and when a call comes in, you just press a switch on the handlebar to answer, talk into the boom-mike and you are gtg....

Dialing is done via voice recognition, as are a few other commands....

Is the receiver/converter what I'm looking at on the HD website that is 500 bucks or are they selling the whole radio with the bluetooth reciever?

70164-06 PN for the overlay harness you will need (Ultra, right?)......

You are seeing a pic of the radio faceplate in PHONE mode..... NOT the hardware....

That consists of a plug-in module on top of the radio (Inner fairing), reciever/converter for T/P, harness to go from T/P to overlay harness, and of course an instruction manual and template for cutting and drilling...
