    The niggle I found sometimes with using a full-face headset with my
    flip-front is that when I opened it the mike got pulled off the velcro
    of the chinpiece.
    Solved by leaving enough slack in the wire between earpiece and mike,
    but that depends on whether yours is long enough to leave some slack.

    restrict your other half's nagging and whining to the times when
    you're not on the bike, by not using an intercom at all.

    I've just won a autocom intercom on fleabay. Now it comes with one
    headset but I need another for either SWMBO or myself.
    The choice is though as I have a Caberg Justissimo(flip front) am I better
    getting an 'open face' type or are they all the same?

    Cheers

    Nah, I'll let you off this time. Thanks for the constructive advice
    though.

    And your solution would be?

    Get an 'open face' mike for your flip-front lid and a non-working
    dummy set for the missus - honestly, you'll thank me later.
    Cheers, I'll have a pint of Bombardier please.

    You want one on the end of a boom, whatever it's called - that's what
    we've got in the Synchrotecs.

    Not sure what they're like now, hence to what you're referring, but
    the one I've got in a box in the garage[1] has two thin speakers that
    velcro into the lid and a boom microphone that could wedge into/behind
    the padding. Worked well with no problems.

    I mught even be tempted to flog 'em, if someone were to make it worth
    my while...


    [1] Fitted it on the Trumpet, but I doubt J's ever going to go on the
    back of the gixxer

    Well I've got the whole lot, two headsets, base unit, wiring and all,
    which ISTR being somewhat more than that (cost >£150 when I bought it,
    IIRC). Plus the hassle (not insignificant) of getting to a post office
    and postage from Yrp.

    I'm not keen to split it, so maybe if it's just a headset you're after
    you'd be better of getting new one.

    Lord knows. Seems to be worth something, judging by ebay
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=25643&item=7909844330&rd=1

    But I'm not sure what model mine is, although it seems to have all the
    same features as the above - I'll have a look tonight and let you
    know.

    Sorry, the price I mentioned was just a headset and mike. How much are
    you after for the lot? I could always ebay the other.
