    Nolan bluetooth doesn't have the range for bike to bike. Transceivers should be reasonably easy to adapt though, there is two inputs in addition to the bluetooth comms.
    All our feedback has been positive so far.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Well I am not really sure compared to the HJC, but I think they are pretty good, I hate wearing earplugs, so if I can (without risk of damage to my hearing) I elect not to wear them, other helmets I have too, but the Nolan I dont.

    Not too bad. If you really care about noise, remove the VPS visor (30 sec job). I remove it if riding at night as it makes a bit of noise when its up. I met a guy the otherday who uses the same as me (the N102 flip) and he reckons he can be on his cellphone with bluetooth at 100km and the person on the other end cant even tell hes on a bike!
    Has anyone seen my baffles?

    Here is the pic of the Undien Setup
    I couldnt upload the Jpeg so here it is on Word

    The one I actually received is slightly different than the one pictured and that there is a switch box on the ones I received to change from PTT to VOX (voice activated)

    BMW System V

    Has anyone tried the bmw helmet with Bluetooth comms.
    I think the police are using them now.
    Being BMW I guess they are stupidly expensive though...

    A mate of mine has used BMW helms in the past, hes always said they were the best he has ever had.
    But due to the cost he doesn't have one now.

    I'd think it was the wind or some other factor other than the speed you're travelling at that would affect the signal... you'd have to be going pretty fast for it to start changing the signal, ie alot closer to the speed of light! Haha. And if you're both doing 200kmh then you're not really going fast at all with respect to each other, so I suspect it would be wind noise or something like that.

    Sorta off topic... those headsets that you can buy that have velcro pads on the back so you can stick them in your helmet, are they any good for using with an mp3 player? I was thinking of buying some for $80 from mount eden motorcycles as I don't like the idea of having little earbuds in my ears while wearing a helmet. So yea, the velcro padded speakers any good, or are there better things on the market?

    I'm really interested in this bluetooth setup as well. I'd prefer to go with a different brand helmet than the Nolan, but basically hoped to get the detector/gps/comms all hardwired on the bike with just the headset wirelessly in the helmet. I asked at the Amps store yesterday but they said there's nothing unless yuo use nolan or import a headset from the uk.

    They also said Nolan was bringing in a full face helmet with Ncom to NZ any day now, that could be another option.

    I presume you're meaning a one-piece? Our helmets are flip-up full face which are brilliant and certainly better than our old HJC's (which we still have for track-days and pillions)

    Yeah mate sorry, I mean one piece full face, as opposed to the flip face. I'm not really a fan of the flip face, I don't know why it's just a mental thing.

    Hey i went to dicksmith and they have a uniden radio for $129. That includes 2 radio's, 2 headsets, and a charger and the range is 3k aparently. the headsets are voice activated so the question is whether the wind and noise will activate the headset or not. couldnt find a PTT one. I might try it cause i can bring it back within 14 days and get my money back.

    Are they bluetooth? Do the headsets install in helmets? Sounds good if they are/do.

    Doing some more reading today, these look they would do the business well.

    Anyone have any good ideas about where I could get these? A reliable offshore bike part retailer maybe?
