You can open up the microphone mount (5 screws) and remove the headset wires (un solder).
Then you simply solder the wires for the female 1/8" stereo jack in their place.
This way you can just plug in any earphones and away you go!

I have used this system for awhile and it works great.
Put your earphones in your ears, pull on your helmet and plug in the earphone jack and then plug your microphone cord into the intercom plug on the dash.

Now if we could only get a "cooler looking" microphone and/or a cordless set up, we would be stylin'!!
My BSR and a few non FD buddies tell me I look funny with that dorky thing stuck to my helmet........

Brad,

I sure am glad that you Canucks are snow bound in the winter and have time to come up with these elegant solutions!

This one takes the Gold medal!!

Thanks in advance,

Here is a picture of what I have done to make the tunes come through ear buds instead of helmet speakers.

Cool!  Thanks for the pic (I downloaded to my Mac and zoomed in)

I'm doing it tonite on the bench -- my scooter is supposed to be out of the shop tomorrow and I'll try it out

Many thanks,

Brad, I hate to tell you but I boogered up my headset!  There was so much silicone inside that when opening the case too much damage happened.  Those tiny wires are fragile when simply confirms what a cheap headset HD supplies with the bike.  Anyway after unsoldering what I could salvage it's not worth trying to reconnect all those little wires.  So I am on a different search to accommodate a half or 3/4 helmet.  I tried on a modular Nolan today but could not stand the enclosure.....too damn uncomfortable for me.  The best I might do is with a 3/4 helmet but I still will probably stay with the half helmet carbon fiber I have....so light and comfy.  I would rather have that than any music or conversation!!!!

 J&M has a new headset for half helmets.  I haven't tried it yet, but J&M is quality stuff.  Also, the mike is smaller, so you do look like you are a pilot on the Space Shuttle.

You're still going to have to modify it yourself...J&M won't do it for liability reasons...I already asked them.  However, my job is in the aviation field and I think I can get it done.  Our flight helmets are set up exactly the way you want your helmet to be.

J & M is releasing a lower cable this summer that you can plug a set of ear buds into.

The pres of the company sent me these:

He said that the BMW lower is coming out first - but perhaps if enough people were interested (group buy anyone?)  we could get him to expedite an order.

Anyone hear if J&M relased a new lower cable that will allow you to jack in your ear buds to the bike?  Would be nice to have.
