These new helmets have so much trim on the bottom to mount a bracket, seeing installation will be a task. I bought the 13-201 Show Chrome (5 pin), slightly used and man do they "squeal". So I ventured over to Carl and now trying a box full of parts right now. Right now no luck. I'm looking for 2 and I'll choke on some of the prices out there. What's a good system/brand ?

Several of us are using the Sena units. The 10s is probably the best bang for buck if your wanting bike to bike communication. If your just looking for two up communication then the smh10 is a less exspencive but great choice.

The left control collar sets the sensitivity of the mike to override the stereo. Not the CB. Get in touch with me, I got what you need.

I bought some blue tooth interphone, BTI V6 1200. Mics even pick up the dash stereo, only drawback is when we speak to each other, I usually mute the stereo then. My mic even picks up the stereo sound waves. I tell ya, these work good
