Take a look at www.jmcorp.com

I never used their cell phone hook ups but have been pleased with their headsets.

If you aren't sure by looking at the material online. Give them a call. They are first rate on customer service.

I have the Cardo Bluetooth Headset - works great when paired with my phone up to 80mph.

Look at the phone....some where on the front is a onoff switch. Carefully place it in the OFF position. Your answering machine will hold all calls. ( But if my wife calls I answer,) as it shows up who it is on the GPS. I mean she makes the bike payments so its the least I can do!!

The ability to talk on a phone hands free in a car or on a bike does not make it a safe thing to do. When you are having a conversation, you are not concentrating on driving. It's bad enough when you have cagers on the phone, now we have fellow riders on a phone. I usually ride to get away from the phone calls and just enjoy the ride.

Just sayin...

When I am on the bike I dont need to take calls unless I am "On Call" for work. Other wise the phone is in my pocket and I forget about it. Seems like when I ride that is the only way to get the heck away from the stupid thing.

I dont understand how you can hear let alone the person on the other end with all the wind, pipe, and stereo noise. JMHO

I agree with the others. Forget about it. Mine goes in the bags in case of emergency. Enjoy your ride. Phone calls and peoples ability to get a hold of you whenever they feel like it are not important.
