Review Summary:
These are very tough to install and EXPENSIVE. They work well, but only after a lot of head scratching and re-reading the instructions. PLEASE NOTE....you MUST have the 'right kind of helmet'....at least the right kind of helmet liner. Not all 'open face' helmets allow installation. You have to have a zip-on stereo-ready strap piece with slip-in 'ear pockets'. We went to a local dealer and bought NEW HELMETS (another expense) rather than take up the manufacturer on the offer to 'modify your existing helmet for a nominal charge'. ALSO note....only ONE HEADSEAT cost you $250. I thought I was buying a SET for my wife and me to talk to one another. Not so. Back to the dealer and another $250 later.....we have two. Add that to the TWO new helmets and we have $700 + tied up in a system that allows us to talk to one another while we're sitting 2 feet apart. AIN'T THAT A DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
