i use a system called starcom1 am based in the uk look on net at www.starcom1.com
it comes with flat earpieces and it is still possible to use with ear plugs in can allways conect a mp3 into the system. i also conected a radio transmitter as i am a road captain local chapter and need to speak to other bikes. comes through clear. also phone is conected so if someone rings it rings twice then i speak. can recommend but not cheap went through four cheap system beore this one so should have bought it in the first place thought i was saving money.

RE: Intercom's
My opinion on intercoms and all, is that I'm surrounded by people running their mouths, pagers, and cell phones everywhere I go...a necessary evil to us all at times, myself included...but when I ride I want to get away from all that...if you want to communicate with me when I'm riding, a hand signal will do...

If used w/ moderation I believe it can be a useful tool when riding 2 or more. Constant blabbering could lead to damaging consequence like you said. If all riders in the loop are on the same page and can exercise silence discipline except where expected (gas stops,alerts and other riding nomenclature) it can be a useful tool.
Just purchased a couple helmets and installed intercom's from J&M as advertised here on the HD forum and will let you know how that works out.

Bought very loud pipes (Pythons) so I couldn't hear anyone.

RE: Intercom's
Autocom. They make several different models. I would go with the Active Plus as a minimum. You can add CB, bike to bike, music , GPS, radar detector, and cell phone. The Active Plus comes with the music and cell phone cable. It is totally voice activated. The music automatically mutes when you speak and when a phone call comes in. They are advertised to work up to 180mph, I don't know about that, but the music and cell phone sound like I am riding in the car at 85mph on the Interstate on my ST1300.
And before anyone flames me for talking on the phone while riding the bike, at least I wear a FF helmet, FF gloves, Armored jacket & pants and riding boots.
