I can get them through work. Sooo i could posably donate it to the club and use it on SCDC rides.

nev,this is the system i have,there are others,but i know this works. check out www.amalgamate2000.com/sales/ they are in NZ. and had no dramas with them. its the k series headset about $125.00NZ .includes headset for helmet,cables to connect mp3 etc and handheld cb radio.You would need to advise them of what cb,to supply right connection to cb.the push to talk button mounts to left handgrip,although i found this a bit annoying and modified the cable into the headlight flasher switch[not hi/lo switch],as i had never used it in several years.have had it like this now for several years.as for radios,2w dont give much range[although are cheap to buy] and dont have the unscrewable aerial.,although if you checkout that website it shows how to modify.Uniden 075 or GME TX610,have the removable aerial to allow you to put cb in tankbag out of the weather !!! and fit externally bike mounted one,improves range by 2 to 3 times.The radio was about $400 and i think the external aerial was arround $50. to long ago to remember exactly.Been great on longer trips,advising of road hazards,directions,when out of sight of others and not forgetting those cars with flashing red and blue lights.now how is that for a long winded sermon...john

I have a blue tooth phone setup through the GPS on my multistrada...so i can call anyone while riding (preprogrammed numbers) and when i ring people from the bike they are amazed how quiet it is...the GPS unit also plays MP3's and if i had a pillion i could speak to them blue tooth to blue tooth....unfortunetly the unit doesnt have the CB functionality....Micheal A has the same setup on his multi...
