Default Bluetooth for stock set up

I used my stock headset for the first time on a group ride yesterday. Everything works fine, I just can't get used to the the cord from the helmet to the tank. Does anyone have some type of bluetooth option to get rid of the cord, and still function with the Harmon Kardon radio?

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. You have to be more specific. I can tell you that with my zumo 660 I can use my bluetooth stereo headset in order to hear the GPS but don't think this is what you are looking for???

I seem to recall seeing something from J&M Audio at the Chicago bike show.

There is a device that will turn your stock radio into a Bluetooth unit. It hooks up to the existing radio and transmits that signal via Bluetooth. The unit sits inside the lowers covers on the Ultra Classic. If memory serves correctly, I think J&M Electronics is the maker.
Also, check out this site that speaks to your issue; http://www.webbikeworld.com/r4/bluet...th-headphones/

Here's a $100 dollar solution for ya. Purchase the H-D microphone Part #76312-98
and use your fairing mounted speakers. It comes with everything you need to easily mount it on your handle bars. Just make sure you get the one compatible for your year bike. (5 versus 7 Pin)

I had the same problem and ended up going to the hand mic. Not for everbody. Works ideal for me.

After reviewing the bluetooth results, I think the best, less expensive solution would be the hand held mic. Thanks for the info.
