Harley communications headset
#11
The wife and I ran the Cardo Scala set for two years. They work pretty well, battery life can be an issue. With wind noise the mics stay active and use up battery. The phone (Bluetooth) system works well for incoming calls but was not taking voice commands well. We just got a 13 Ultra and the HD sets. The tethering to the bike is a bit of a pain, but the intercom is simpler to use and no battery to worry about. I don't miss the Bluetooth, leave me alone I am on my bike. Mike

We were at a Touring Clinic at our local HD and one of the riders made a simple suggestion to help with wind noise. Take a plastic spoon, paint it the same color as the boom mike, cut off a large portion of the handle and using electrical tape, tape it to the boom covering the mike. The spoon helps keep some but not all the wind noise down.
My HD set for 3/4 helmet clamps onto the lip of the helmet and it has the boom mike in it. My wife's set from IMC is held in place with Velcro. I removed the liner, put the mike and ear pieces in and reinstalled the liner. The cord comes out the left back side of the helmet with enough cord for her to plug in the pig tail. Due to her back, she cannot plug the helmet into the bike until after she is on. First we plug the lower pigtail into the bike, let it dangle, she then gets on, reaches down and plugs the two cords together. She is actually able to do this faster than some of our friends that plug in then get on. No cords get in her way. Hope that helps out some.
