Default J&M Helmets?

Anyone with J&M helmet experience? I am looking at the KBC 3/4 or Arai 3/4 with integrated headsets. I have never ridden an Ultra yet and not sure of the comfort level of the helmets. I'm used to a shorty novelty helmet but looking foreword to the intercomm feature so i can quit yelling going down the road. How are they for listening to music? I seee they are both Snell and DOT rated. I'm not to sure about the visor thing as i don't know how much wind i will experience for rider and passenger.

J&M is know for there Head Sets and Arai is a good helmet
If you find a helmet that is more to your liking it's a 30 min inslall to put the headsets in...
You can always get a hold of JOHN (owner of J&M) as he's one this Forum almost daily...

i bought the J&M KBC intergrated helmet... regularly $314 but because I'm cheap, and the Portland Gray is an "old color" I got mine for $199 & free shipping.... neighbor bought one too... as did a handful of friends.
A few more have the shorty KBC's from J&M...
As with everything from them.... first class gear

Damn I sound like a shrill for them don't I??? but their stuff really is good

If you have 2 of these helmets what else do you need to have from them to communicate with passengers if you have only the standard HK radio (w/o CB or intercom) that comes on a 08 SG?

I have the KBC shorty helmets with the zip out lower portion and intergrated J&M headset. Great quality and sound.

Only problem I have is that the ear speakers are down on your ear lobs when the helmet is on. I can't seem to find a way to raise them. Any one else have this problem??

I would recomend puting a soft pad (memory foam) in the top of your helmet to raise it to the desired height and still be comfortable.
