So I have officially kicked off the 2010 riding season and discovered that my helmet hurts like hell. I guess I have been gaining weight so my head doesn’t fit my helmet anymore. I know I know, I am 32 years old and it is time to start sipping scotch instead of drinking beer. I guess it was a good run. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has had some experience with the Nolan helmets with the N-Com Bluetooth system. I did a search and not much came up which I found surprising for the farkle friendly VFR crowd.
Nolan N-Com

I have been wearing an N102 NCom for the last 2 years and I love it. The pin-loc insert is the best. Really good helmet although it is a ted heavy and a tad loud.
Dont know about the blue tooth stuff though because I stuffed some speakers in the ear holes and run a wire to my iPod.
Highly recommended.

I just purchased my first ever Nolan helmet, an N102. I love it already after only a week.
I wear ear plugs all the time so when I rode it without plugs it seemed really noisy, but then ANY helmet would seem noisy to me.

LOVE my N102. Can't comment on the N-Com, as it's way too expensive for me to even consider. I use monk's cheap audio solution and it works brilliantly.
I made an adaptor for mine to use my big ear speakers with, I got frustrated with the autocoms mic sticking into my mouth so I took out the foam on the chingaurd and drilled a hole to hardwire the mic in. [image: Posted Image]
The autocom lead I have my Big Ear earphones connected for isolated stereo sound

The Earphone Adaptor cut off the speakers and soldiered in an earphone adaptor using a couple of resisters and capacitors it slides into a hole already built into the Nolan flip up helmet

Routing the microphone leads I fished the mic lead through the hole them melted some abs plastic into the hole to fill it and glued the wires to the flip up part so it stayed secure

You can see the microphone placement I drilled a 1/4 in hole in the rubber and stopped at the skin pushed in the microphone with a screwdriver and glued it in place with melted rubber from an inner tube patch kit
