You guys could buy an Ultra......
SG owners can get the CB module
Cardo Scala system seems to work okay according to others here dont know if its a CB though, I have yet to use mine, last time I checked was when one other crewmember showed me how to work it, either Dale or Dave, wife wants a headset for her helmet, told her she can talk to herself without one as I wont be talking while I am riding.

look at midland, get the radio and headset, do you have powerlet on bars? Best to just ram mount it direct to bars.

Jerry, thats the radio I'm getting, lot's cheaper on Amazon...here's what I'm using

I have on order a Midland 75-822 Portable CB. $73.50 with shipping from Amazon.
Firestick 3' Fiberglass antenna $15.95
Firestick 9' Coax cable with Fire ring connector $8.95
Firestick SS-64a mounting bracket $12.50
All the Firestick parts coming from a place called
http://www.premiere-electronics.net
I also ordered a headset from IMC Moto HS 140 with the Midland adapter that was $80.00 with shipping

I am also gonna try an IMC Moto MIT-100
http://imcmoto.com/mit-100h-advanced...f-helmets.html
that makes it possible to hook up your MP3 player ,CB, and cell phone and use them together....

I don't think I'm gonna go with the handle bar mount too much exposure to the elements..most likely saddle bag or one of the saddle bag guard rail pouches I have...

Does the boom mic have VOX so you can have the noise cancelling functionality and everyone can hear ya over the wind/bike noise on cb while riding.

What is the hand signal for, "I'm pulling over, my shifter has broken?"
All of a sudden you raise to arm, point to the right....and ten people know you
are stopping? If you don't use your CB....nice to at least have it on...and on the same
channel as the rest. A time or two, when riding with Dale (1of2)....it came in handy.
But like GPS.....CB has an 'on-off' switch.
