New Shoei RF1200 (kinda hacked into it already), Retiring my RF1000

Amazing how helmet tech changes in a few short years. Picked up my RF1200 Phantasm yesterday. Man I love this thing. Contrary to some of the reports I read, it came with a chin curtain and the nose piece thingy. More refined, better padding, lighter, nice. Rather Shoei make better shields instead of this pinlock crap, but I'll take that. RF1000 Diabolic 3 is being retired to occasional-use status....

I use and love a UClear - have the 2-pack for me and my daughter for when she rides with me. Problem with this lid is that the speaker recesses aren't big enough in diameter to house the UClear speaker/mic combo. Soooo I made it fit. Oh and the Echo quick release....


Excited to go put some miles on it now!! :laugh::laugh:



The pics are kinda pointless, but I always take em so here they are....

Cut into the cushion guide (gap on the left cushion) to route the wire:

thanks guys - i'm like a kid at xmas with stuff like this - too bad the Busa is in pieces now
 
I've been looking at that UCLEAR at cycle gear. Have you had a chance to test the daisy chain range extension those things do?
 
Cool. I just ordered a new shoei rf1100 and I'm super excited about getting it here. Hope it ships tomorrow.

Yea, we've done 3 or 4 - they work really well, great range, and they are super clear. And we have loud pipes. I feel compelled to give you the rest of my 'pro' points lol... the bluetooth integration to my phone (S4) works great, so I can stream satellite radio low when I want without having earbuds in my ears (which I hate), so I can still hear whats going on around me. Also, the mics are great and if I'm streaming music nonstop, I can get about 4-5 hours from a charge. No real cons that I can think of.

NICE! Post it up!!
 
Just picked up my 1200 tonight....real comfy. Tried to get a 1100, but they only had size "M" and my mellon required more capacity. No graphics...mat black...figure I can spruce it up if I get bored. Nice mod with the speakers.
