Default CB Mic question

Ok, I havea J&N CB (the hard instal one) on my FLSTCI and it works great and has helped out a lot with grp rides and especially for us Road Captains at my chapter.

However with the windshield that I have on the bike, I get a lot of turbulance around the mouth area, which is not disturbing to me, but the mic of the system does pick up a lot of noice from that turbulance. Now I have tried moving it to diff locations around my mouth to no great avail, and have tried the 3 different sized mouse/foam wind sockets and they do not really make a huge difference.

I was wondering if anyone else came across a problem like this and has a solution (other that different windshield or getting rid of the system:P)

thanks

I'm using a full face (flip up) so I don't have the problem, but could you use a throat mic?

Now if only J&M would still sell the throat mic for their systems. Anyone have any ideas of throat mics that would hook into the J&M system?
