HD Headset & Modular Helmet
I'm thinking of puchasing a modular (flip-up) helmet.
Does anyone know of a modular helmet that will fit the Harley mic and earphones?
I had a 3/4 helmet and want to go with a modular, but the ones I've looked at don't
seem to be able to fit the Harley side-clamp without some serious finagling that might compromise the helmet's integrity. The helmet would also have to have enough room
inside, so that the mic wouldn't be shoved against my face.
J&M's Nolan ncom is the only one I've seen. Are there any others?

I have the HD mic/intercom setup in my HJC SYMAX II modular helmets. No problem with attaching it to the side of the helmet as the lining inside snaps in and out.
The mic is close for me on my HJC, but fine for my wife on her HJC. Since the mic is behind the chin bar (flip up), you don't need the wind sock (foam over the mic).

There are some threads on this. I chose the Shark Evoline specifically because I felt it integrated best with the headset.
The gap where the mic sits is larger than any other helmets I saw so it does not get forced in to my face
I had to cut some of the foam in the helmet to facilitate the speakers
I cut the speaker wires and resoldered them once the wires had been routed around the helmet - no idea why HD don't have connectors
I had to trim the helmet beading to facilitate the mic clamp, as you correctly point out, but it was a small shaving really.
All in all, I am now very happy with the headset integration. Easy to put helmet on and off, and mic is very comfortable
