    Whistler Bluetooth Headset

    I purchased these on Friday, charged them overnight and installed them on Saturday. The phone portion works fairly well. You can hold a conversation at 55 mph, but any faster and you have to duck your head behind the windscreen to get some quiet time. I have a stock shield so those of you...
