I'm accustomed to the integrated CB system on the HD Touring bikes and I'm having trouble finding answers about the integrated CB system (the N-Touch system)for the Victory Cross-Country Tour. Local dealers can't tell me much as they've had littleor no experience with it.I want a corded system, not a bluetooth system.

1. Does anyone have knowledge about how this Victory system compares with HD's system particularlyfor clarity and range? My concern is that with a shorter antenna, whichis not mounted high above the tour pack, the clarity and transmission & reception rangewould be compromised.
2. What about for ease of use andreliability as compared to HD's system?
3. I have J&M headsets with a half helmet that worked great with the HD system.I want to continue riding with a half helmet. Can I use this setup for the Victory system realizing that I may have to get a different plug-in pin configuration?
4. I assume the integrated Victory system works with the radio and auxiliary adapter (e.g. for iPod) in such a way that the CB and passenger intercom would both override the radio and iPod and that the CB would override the passengerintercom. Is that how it works?

Thanks,

I'm using a Midland model 75 hand held when running with the clubs. I have it hard wired into my Sena SMH10 so I can hear transmissions. Must lean towards the radio to speak into the built in microphone, I did fabricate a antennea but finding it works fine with the attached rubber duckie. For the rare times I need it, it works fine - just can't jusify the $$$ for the Victory set-up.

1 I cant compare it to HD but to J&M.
Clarity is about equal with the J&M being slightly better
Range J&M wins hands down, vic range is about 1/2 mile with clear sight. The issue being as you said, the antenna bearly clears the tour pack DentDave mounted his to the tour pack check his thread
Trunk mounted CB antenna XCT

I put a meter on the antenna and had the following
channel 1 2.1
channel 20 1.1
cahnnel 40 1.7

2 sub menus to change channel, volume, or squelch is tiresome

3 you just need to change the lower cord and you can use your existing head set

4 I am not sure of the intercom but the cb over rides the radio/mp3/ipod in the headset only, the music will continue to play through the speakers if you have them on
