stick harley headsets arent to good i use a j&m sound quality is much better and u can get them in a universal fit or for specific helment, half is no problem u can use a universalheadset but the helment must have that zip on neckearflap thing to hiold the speakers or they have some models that will work without the zip on thing.dont mix and match headsets it gives the vox(voice activated)settings fits.

I have the "helmet-less" headset that works with a 1/2 helmet and it is ok for awhile but for any length of time it starts to hurt from the pressure on the ears.

Friends of mine use the Scala Rider blue tooth system with HJC 3/4 helmets.

The wife and I use HJC 3/4 helmets as well, hers has the stock HD headset that I installed in the helmet and Mine has a universal J&M headset in it. These are wired into the HD intercom system on the Ultra.

one other big plus on the j&m is the pluggin hangs down from the helment much eiser to plugg in, the harley set pluggs so close to the helment u cant see it with the lid on.

check with www.sierra-mc.com
800-338-6938 call them they have good people that can answer anything...they have good prices on J&M and IMC which are the folfs making the helmetless set for Harley. J&M does perform better though.
