I've been using a Sena headset for 4 years now. l Love it, but can't see how it can be integrated into the Infotainment set up. I think I'm going to sideline my Sena as I'm really enjoying the Infotainment even with the glitches that better get fixed.  I figures out the WB coming on by itself.  I had it set to "alert" me.  After I defeated "alerts," all is good.

I can't take credit for the find as I saw a post elsewhere on CVOHarley, but  http://www.spoiledbiker.com/product3326.html.

From Spoiled Biker:

Spoiled Biker is proud to introduce the only wireless 2-way connection to your Harley Davidson intercom.  This device plugs directly into your Harley intercom port and can then be paired to the Bluetooth headset of your choice.  Full 2-way communication through your Harley's audio system is then available.   - See more at: http://www.spoiledbiker.com/product3326.html#sthash.267Rg89w.dpuf

It's a little pricey, but we did pay for CVOs after all.   :-\  I see using the Bluetooth adapter for the bike tunes/voice commands and using the integral SENA intercom for passenger and bike2bike comms.  I am thinking of having it hard-wired and hidden, though they warn about signal degradation if installed under the tank or metal.  Maybe somewhere in the faring.

My wife has her own tunes and with either a mic jack (or a new Bluetooth mp3 player) she can have her own tunes on her headset and we still get convenient rider/passenger comms.

Cheers,

Mark

I thought ALL dealers are philosophically supposed to give an extra hand to a stranded Harley owner, especially one with a frigging warranty. 


I'm pretty sure it is more then philosophical - like in their franchise agreement

Got the 'gouge' yesterday on the primary cause of coolant leaks, should you experience one.  The weak link is the thermostat.  It has a composite housing that is 'sonic' welded.  The fibrous material sometimes doesn't bond well during the weld process, and once the system is pressurized to 16psi, a leak occurs.  If it's a major leak, it doesn't take long to drain the coolant since the capacity is only one liter.  I was told there is a new thermostat design in the works, but we won't see it anytime soon.  The assembly line will get the new redesign first, and will only be available for repairs/replacement once the original inventory of thermostats is attritted.

I wonder if this is already happening? My dealer fixed my 14 Limited by pulling the parts off a 14 Limited that had just come in from the factory. They replaced the vast majority of the parts including the thermostat. The MoCo sent the dealership new parts to replace those that they used on my bike. I have not had a issue since. Love the bike

Mine just puked coolant at 1380 miles.  Took it to the dealer and she puked all over the dealers floor too.  They removed the bottle cap, ran the bike for about 2.5 minutes and it shot coolant out all over my bike. I'm so freaking bummed right now. :(

Guy I work with bought a Ultra which was his first Harley and he really stretched for the Ultra (I promised him it would be worth being broke all the time after he paid for it each month) and when he got it home the first time it leaked all over his garage. Been in service for almost 2 weeks since (I feel absolutely horrible) but supposed  to be done Tuesday. They told him their is a "fitting" issue that will end up being a recall because every one of them will end up leaking until they get it replaced and they are running out of the new part. They said the Moco pulled one off the assembly line for him so they could get him on the road...
