if it's just about headphones,
I wire a headphone jack for my ear buds into the stereo- pretty easy./
I put the jack down by my thigh, run the cable up under the tank into the fairing and just tap into the speakers--- I use an inline volume control ( radio shack) to attenuate the signal to the earbuds.
works fine, cost about $15 if you can wire stuff.

I did it to my Classic a couple years ago when I added the intercom and CB. It wasn't difficult but i don't remember what it cost.

Eventually I want the whole CB/Intercom setup. I will be buying those modules down the road. But for now I want to be able to hear my stereo (with good quality) when I am wearing a full face. Some people here on this base say that you are required to wear a full face others say no. Being military it changes almost daily so I want to be prepared.

I changed the console on my 09 SG. Don't remember the price. It wasn't to complex but I had a friend help who installs car stereos. I changed the console because I also added the CB and XM radio. Bought both off ebay and saved some dough. Now everything is controlled from the handlebar switches. No wires hanging around clean and neat. Listen to the radio from my helmet speakers and even at highway speeds don't need to blast the volume.

Check-out the CB module fitment information in this link:

According to the last portion of the above, '08 and newer FLHX models reuse the console, etc.--basically you're only replacing the trim piece on your OEM console with one that accepts the rider headset connector.
