Default Helmet Question

Folks,
Quick question, my helmet has a removable panel on the left side. I was told before it was to add a communication device but all the devices I've seen all either connect with sticky tape or wedge between the helmet and the cushion. here's a couple pics showing what it looks like. just looking for some info as to what it's actually for. thanks for reading

thanks, already did a search on Harley with no luck, they don't list the helmet any longer, its almost 3 years old. I have found some info that it could be for a nolan ncom unit or the old Harley-Davidson Road Tech Bluetooth Helmet Headset System but it looks like that system is discontinued back in 2011, also found this Motorcycle Bluetooth 4.1 Helmet Headset and Intercom Communication Systems Kit, Supports 8 riders group intercom, Handsfree Calls Voice Command 12hrs with Speakers headphones for Motorbike Skiing MPN 9827209VM but it too is discontinued. Strange that it would still be on recent helmets if its not used any longer.

haven't been able to get down there yet, busy working, maybe this weekend though. Was just hoping maybe others on here had a helmet with the same port on it that knew already what it was for.

It's not for an N COM. Not the right size or shape.

HJC make most of Harley's FF helmets. They usually correspond directly to an HJC production model but with different colors and logos.
