Inside the helmet but the more I look and think about it I think I am just gonna continue to use my wireless earbuds. I really just want it for the navigation from my phone. I rarely wear a helmet anyways.

4. Good sound.

Howdy, Chuck. No way am I gonna put something in my ear that has been in someone else's. However, earlier in my dating life there were a few woman who seemed to prefer that as it seems they would turn their head and ....aw, never mind, you get it.

I was talking about the Sena sets we have that I bought used. One is brand new and the other, the speaker pockets need some new elastic on them. Other than that they work fine. I bought them for Kristi and I to use on the RK then she decided she didn’t like to talk to me. These are not inside the ear.

I want the music from the bike, from my phone, but my phone CALLS through the Sena in my helmet. I don't think I can get it both ways.

Finally got to get the stang out and put some miles on her. I knew nothing about those new 5.0s when I bought this thing, just figured it would be fast enough to be fun. It is, and a whole lot more. I still prefer OHV to OHC, but damn that thing screams. Supposedly you can get it up to around 750hp on the stock bottom end, but I'm not seeing that in it's future. I've got the BBC for that anyway.

OHV will give you a higher redline and more accurate cam timing. Also, fewer moving parts and overall, better build quality. That engine is a screamer! That paired with that IRS and the car handles like it's on rails.

I think you meant OHC. OHV gives better bottom end torque, which is more of what I'm used to. You have to rev that new coyote engine, but it makes it worth your time when you do
