1 centimeter = 0.393700787 inches

Or, try one of the online calculators to do the math for ya.

No, we're both right.

I converted 1 centimeter to inches, you converted 1 inch to centimeters. If you multiply 2.54 centimeters by .393700787 (both numbers are actually rounded off, so it won't come out exact), and you're back to one inch.

Maybe that's why HD does everything in inches, and stays away from metric.

I use a HJC CL33 and the HD headset fits great with no drilling/cutting or trimming...

My wife bought me the Scala Multi-Rider for x-mas and I love'em. They fit my full face and half helmet both with no drilling or cutting of the liners. They came with two spacers to help mount the mikes with,but I needed two more so I could just swap out from full face to half without taking the spacers off(Stuck with double sided tape)so I called them and they sent me 4 more free of charge. Great product,blue tooth compatable,no transfered wind noise,and PTT or VOX activted. I would recomend them to anyone.

Default Don't use the HD stock ones

Gunner if you are planning on using the stock HD headsets for anything but talking over the CB or the intercom forget it. They sound as if the speakers are blown when you get them loud enough to hear and if you turn them down enough to rid yourself of that buzz you can't hear anything. As someone else pointed out you should find a helmet that fits you well that is designed to accept a headset then get hold of a J&M headset. I bought mine on Ebay but you can order them off of their website.
