Ive been a HDF member for just a few days and have learned so much. I think I'll just forget about the intercom set up and deal with the yelling over my shoulder. Im used to that - On and off of the bike!

J&M is the only ones I use. I started using J&M equipment back before Harley had Factory Radios and headsets. Continued with J&M when I bought my 1989 Ultra. I tried using Harley headsets when I Upgraded to my 1998 Ultra. The Harley headsets were not as good. I went back to J&M. They have several advantages. The cord that has a disconnect between the headset and cord is just one. Another is that with the lower cord, the headset can be used on many different year models.

But, that is just my opinion.
