Default re: Helmet with headset?

Harley-Davidson headsets tape/clamp in the 3/4 helmet. Try a few on and then install your headsets you have in the helmets you select. I have HD, and HJC 3/4 helmets with HD headsets installed in them. They work just fine.

My wife and I use the Shoei RJ Air, it has a cutout for the earpiece and works well.

Remember the old saying about helmets, "If you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet."

as for drilling the shell itself all your doing is slightly enlarging an exsisting hole ,its inside the cavity under the cover it should in no way compromise the strenght of the lid.

I picked up a ZOX modual for winter riding, I had to notch the foam around the ears for the speakers, and the neck curtain for the mic. I used a J&M elite that I had in my old HJC 3/4 whick had nice poskets that accepte the earphones. I also have a KBC from J&M that has the headset intergrated into it.

If you find a helmet that fits you, check to see if the ear pockets are deep enough. My wife has an Aria and there was room in her helmet.

I recall the HJC cost about $50-60 but that was a while ago

Thanls for all the suggestions, I've found an HJC and a Scorpian I like, now just have to make a decision. The size on the Scorpian is in centimeters, how does that equate to inches? I'm not the best math guy in the world.

I use the Nolan n103 purchased from J&M. Good quality. If you are considering a Nolan helmet make sure you try it on first as their sizes seem to run a bit small.
