That helmet was a closeout (i.e., no longer available). I got it for a song. This is the "new and improved version". https://www.cyclegear.com/gear/scorp...0-helmet-solid I must say, I do wish I had the drop-down visor. Also, do not expect to get that color [ugly as it may be]. I ceracoated the helmet in an effort to match the "amber whiskey" of my Ultra. Does not match. I relied on the manufacturer telling me that "Harley orange" was the closest they had to amber whiskey. Not!

I fit the HD headset to both my and my wife's helmet. I wear the Bell Mag 9 Sena, and Mrs. Brewmany wears a HJC IS 33. Speaker pockets worked fine on either helmet and the headset clamp also fit well on both.

thanks all. I checked out a few helmets at the Toronto motorcycle show this wknd. Ended up more confused than when I started.
I think I'm going to rip out the Nolan nCom bluetooth out the the helmet and fit the HD cabled boom headset in it to try it out.
I just might save a few hundred dollars that way.
thanks

Bell Pit Boss headset. Its what I use with my Uclear HBC100 headset and I love it. I use it to stream music when I don't want to turn on the stereo. Wow, its loud and clear.

Well the HD speakers will not fit into the Nolan N44E helmet without modifying the styrofoam liner. Not going to do that, as it will no longer fit the smaller Nolan speakers.
I went to my local HD dealership and was surprised that non of the helmets that HD offers in a 3/4 or open face fit the HD communication headset. Full face yes, but not the HD Bell line they are presently selling.
I've considered the Super Seer S1606 CC for $495.00 US plus shipping to Canada which ends up being aprox $737.64 in Canadian dollars, But that is a lot of money just to have a second helmet to use the HD communication system.

For $330.00 Canadian with free shipping I can buy a Shoei RJ Platinum that accepts the HD set. But the Shoeis don't fit my head that well as I'm between their medium and large. The Large is too sloppy and the medium too tight
The search continues. I got told at the Arai booth at the Toronto Motorcycle show that they are coming out with a vintage style 3/4. Its available in Europe and should be in Canada late spring early summer. I may hold out for that as Arai always fit my well, but I'm not crazy about their present styles of open face
