I have used both cobra and midland handhelds. Like the midland because of its low profile. Got it from Sierra electronics. They have been great working me through a few bugs. Have it tied into an external antenna. use headsets and Mike from air rider. Handlebar mounted ptt. button. Both worked very well and were well supported by both companies. Just got back from a 120+ mi. ride with every type of bike you can imagine and CB worked great. I don't think you can go wrong with either one or either company! Just my thoughts based on experience.
