The published weight of the Scala Q2 is 1.18 oz. I couldn't find the published weight for the Scala G4, but I don't think it's much more. You don't even know it's there. As far as being on the side of the helmet, you have to have some place for the volume, play/stop, and next/previous track control buttons. That way the phone/BT music source can stay stashed.

Im not talking about weight but size. I get that if you want to control those things without your phone you would need it. But I also use the gps on my phone which is mounted in a magnetic tank pouch. I can control all those things from my phone. I just dont get why theres not anything (that I can find) that you dont have to mount on the outside of your helmet.........just bluetooth speakers.

the only way I know is to get a FF helmet with the bluetooth system already built in, then just the control dial in on the left side of the helmet, the helmets are all over ebay and the internet. I would read reviews before buying anything.

The whole BT specification(s) is designed around allowing the user to be separated from the source device by 15-50 feet depending on the BT rating class, and as such, BT headsets will typically incorporate device controls.
FYI - for those that care
. While operating a motor vehicle while wearing earbuds and headphones is illegal in most states, helmet mounted speakers are legal in most. The last time I checked a year or so ago, they were legal in 43 states.

To the OP, if you want tunes on your scoot, go for it. I like to hear something other than exhaust every once in a while myself. Have you checked with mother Harley? I've heard the handlebar mounted Boom speakers, sound pretty good for what they are, however, I haven't heard them at speed. There are also a few on E-Bay, complete set up speakers and radio in one box that mounts to your windshield. If you don't want to have a windshield on your scoot, then I'd check out the "Boom" system from Harley.
We offer Cycle Sounds speakers like the picture above, and are currently running a special for December. Follow the link to our website and click 'Add to Cart' to see discount pricing.
Cycle Sounds is the original designer of the motorcycle bullet speaker system since 2001. This setup allows the rider to install satellite radio, GPS, or bring along any music enabled phone, or iPod. Included in the package is a pair of custom made 2-1/2" bullet style speakers, integrated high powered micro amplifier with harness and universal mount, handlebar MP3 mount, speaker mounts and all necessary connectors and wires.
Not sure if this is 100% what you're looking for but I thought it was worth passing along. Let us know if you have any questions about this system.
Ryd Safe.

This is the silliest idea yet, speakers on a HARLEY Sportster!
Hey bud, FYI, the music comes from the big pipes at the bottom of the bike!! Stick your ear on the end and have your friend hit the gas!!
For god sake give me a break.

As I have said I love mine.
Attached thumbnail picture is the sporty (red mistress) with it on. The other picture is the deluxe (the vixen) with my speakers/ mp3 player/ radio moved over.
Again it is extreme cycle radio for anyone interested. It made the second half of my 4700 miles trip way more fun. And my last trip on the sporty from MD to manhattan and back in a day (when it was 40 foggy some and raining on return) totally fun.
