Lava Grey Nolan N103 N-Com With or Without JM Intergrated Headset

First - The helmet alone is great - Good fit, comfortable, and love the chin strap clasp.

Second - I had the JM integrated Elite head set installed into the Nolan N103 at WingStuff. The Elite series headset is great, spend the extra money and buy the Elite, you won't be disappointed. WingStuff also did an awesome job on the install, I would also recommend their shop any day of the week.

Last but not at all least - Put these two items together and this is what I could not fix or get over no matter what I tried. The front of the helmet is so close to my mouth that when you add the mic into the mix its horrible. The mic was either pressing up against my cheek or about to be swallowed. I even took the foam piece off the mic to add more room between my mouth and the helmet - it helped a little but i could still feel it against my lips. My wife who wears an HJC helmet said she had a hard time understanding me - she said it sounded like I had my mouth pressed up against a phone and was attempting to speak into it.

After spending the money and waiting for this combo to hit my door step I was very disappointed.

I also read all of the prior reviews posted by other WingStuff shoppers prior to purchasing as they were mostly very positive. I'm sure there are some heads out there that will work with this combo - mine is just not one of them unfortunately.

After trying every possible way to get this mic in a comfortable position I called WingStuff and spoke with Cameron in the install department. He agreed with my complaint and said I was definitely not the first to call with this concern. He was a great guy to deal with - I would recommend calling him if you have any doubt about purchasing this combo.

For Reference: I wear an XL size helmet, also had a blue ant headset in an HJC CL-SP prior to owning my Goldwing. This headset had the same type of mic and I had no problems with the mic touching my face.

For what its worth take my mistake and do some extra research and or try before you buy.

I now own helmets from HJC,Simpson,Fox and polaris,this helmet blows them all away.Quality is first rate from the quick buckle chin strap which I have never seen before,to the sun/clear shield that works great without sun glasses.Lining and vent system work better than any other I have tried.Have to say 5++ rating please include parts/shields etc.on website.
