Hi All, My first post to the group! I bought my first KLR last year, a well maintained 2012, and am loving it. I rode ninjas and kz's before; wish I discovered the KLR earlier!  I'm looking for a bluetooth set up, mostly for audio. I wear a Bell Custom 500 helmet. Sena seems to be the most common headset available. Any opinions on which model to get? Thanks - Brad
