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 .

Just received 2 sets of the J & M ($60.00) headsets . I have already modified my shorty helmets to accept the 3/4 helmet style by cutting out some kydex plastic . Sliding the kydex like shims between the helmet liner and shell and installing the units onto them . My questions is : "Can the radio be ran either through the speakers or headset and the CB be opposite of ?" My wife does not like the CB , but likes the radio . I enjoy both and do not want to annouy her with the squalk box . I read the owners manual and it does not dicuss this topic . I tried tuning the radio through the speakers , then tune the CB through the headset , but both radio and CB either go through the same option . I know she can turn down the volume , but we both have not been on the bike at the same time to acknowledge if we can make it work . Did I make any sense ? Gene
