adding CB to Street Glide
Okay, so I've seen a couple of posts on this subject but haven't really seen that anybody did this.
I'm new to the forum myself. Long time rider (40 years) just bought my first Harley last month. In the process of doing that, a friend of mine who was participating in my search decided she needed to upgrade from her Fatboy to a Streetglide. She will be arriving home next week with the bike and wants to start the process of moving her stuff over. Part of that is her J & M setup. We looked at the HD and both agree that this would be the ideal way to go but since she already owns the J & M for now and has just spent a s*&t load of $$ to get the bike she is going to compromise.
What I thought I would do is use the J &M automotive stereo adapter to wire into the rear output of the HK head unit. Then she could use her fader as a switch to go back and forth from speaker to helmet headset.
Anyone see any problems with my thought process?

First she will have to get the radio flashed to have the fader. Then there might be issues if the music has 4 channels.
That is my initial thought anyway. I don't remember if I was able to wire in the output from the JM to the HD unit. I know I was able to get the audio from bike into the JM but I dont remember the opposite being possible.

I would just move the J&M over and not worry about the SG radio.
I have had the J&M on my '05 FLTR and there has never been a problem hearing the CB over the Stereo.
I looked into upgrading the radio on my RG, but, I already had the J&M, all it took was a few minutes to swap things over..
During cross country rides (or just out of this area) I crank the MP3 player (with in my GPS) and run that through the J&M headset.

I just re-read the explanation of the automotive adapter. I have an older version of that one. It directs the radio speaker outputs to the input on the JM so that you can hear the radio/cd player through the JM to your headsets. Your idea should work as long as you understand that she WILL NOT be able to listen to the CB through the Harley speakers.
