I know it sounds funny, but it might be worth a try.
I'd rather ride with the static.

I'm not aware of the Nolan mic being adjustable. I'll look into this thanks

I've read that you need to speak louder if you use this setup

Now to explain to my wife why I need to buy a condom for her mic. Lol

Good suggestion thanks for the tip

Perhaps a piece of plastic on the front side, maybe even a plastic spoon trimmed down to fit and attached with zip ties...

Got a couple of these windsocks with cover coming from Airrider.com. Will post how well they work in a week or so.



Those fit the Harley mics; look at their other products to see what fits.
