Headset adaptors for shorties helmets

[BEER30]

Here are some photo's of how I rigged up a set of J & M headsets to my shorty helmet . I use .90 kydex which I cut with my bandsaw to a width that fits between the yoke of my helmet straps and long enough for fit to squeeze between the helmet liner and the outer hard shell . On the mike side , I cut another peice of kydex and used jiffy rivets to secure to the part that holds the left speaker . Kydex can be molded with heat on which I did so the mike can extend without interfering with helmet straps . A common hair dryer will work , heatgun is better . The J & M headset came with 3 circular peices of sticky hooked side velcro . I used 2 to secure the speakers and cut the 3rd peice to fit within the clamp portion that secures the mike from vibration , being the kydex does not have a rim such as the edge of your helmet does . I could have formed the kydex to form arim ,but I was testing this first to see how it performs . I tucked the speaker wires as prescribed in the headset instructions .

I did a similar thing years ago for my 1/2 helmet. Mine does not use the zip-in liner. The attached photos show a Chatterbox headset, but I currently have a J&M mounted in the same fashion.

I use the headset type, only used on longer rides so helmet is bare when not used. Got mine at http://www.sierra-mc.com

I have them for the past three years They are great, good sound and a very good quality on transmitting .I will be looking for a cut off button for the passenger. Service is good last year had a small problem with the mike and four days later I had a new one .

I recommend them.
