Check out http://www.sena.com/ . Several options but with half helmets your performance will likely suffer. It can be done, just not sure how well they will overcome the wind. I'm sure others will add their experiences.

I would suggest a pair of Sena 20s headsets. You don't say what you are riding but if you have a windshield that reduces the wind to your face you will find these to work very well for you. I am using them now and can say that people don't know I am on my bike when talking to them on my phone.

Thx Rlb...........I'm riding a Ultra Limited fairing is ok about eye height. Been looking at the Sena's but most of the reviews say highway hearing is a challenge?

I have an Ultra Limited as well. I do not have that problem at all. In fact I have to turn the sound down because it's too loud. I am using Sena' new Harley clamp kit. Run everything on the bike through 7 pin connection except phone calls. Phone is not paired wth the bike only my Sena 20s. Works fantastic!

I would just uncheck the Bluetooth pairing on the head unit on the bike. The Sena Harley clamp kit can be purchased from Sena or I would recommend Sierra Electronics n Troy, Ohio. They have the best price on the clamp kit. As far as purchasing the 20s, I would check both Amazon and eBay. There are some good prices there but you have to be careful. You need to confirm whether the seller is an authorized Sena dealer in the US. Once you get the sellers name you can check the Sena site to see if they are authorized. If you run into problems send me a personal message and I will give you a phone number for me and I can walk you through it.
