Just got my SCALA G4, tried to mount it to my economy priced Zox modular helmet without much success. This is my first communicator and I was wondering if anyone has mounted something similar on a modular or are these basically for open or full face helmets only. Let me know what ya have, and if you have links for the helmets that would be appreciated! |

My scala fm has mounted to an old icon and my current rf-1000 without issues. (Until a careless friend snapped the clip in half) I considered velcro on the unit and the helmet instead of using the clip. Would that work in your aPplication? Sorry I'm not much help - never had a modular helmet. |

When I had the AGV Longway modular helmet, I used 3M Dual Lock to mount my Scala Rider Q2. Stuff is like Velcro on steroids! |

Whats the problem? Does it not fit between the helmet and padding? You may have to remove some of the padding. Nowhere to put speakers? I noticed after i installed mine that i will have to move the mic boom out of the helmet before putting it on. No big deal! I forgot you had that helmet. It still should work fine! |

I have a Q2 on my modular HD helm. I used the sticky mount that came with it. It has held fine for 2 years now, just have to watch the boom when lowering the front and I cut out some room for the speakers. |

I probably bought the helmet to small (I like a snug fit). When I position the mike inside the helmet, I'm practically eating it . I'm considering the shark evoline or the shoei DS. Anybody use the helmets with success, I've heard the shark runs big and fits a little odd |

You could try modifying the foam on the boom. |

Try it without the foam and see how much noise you get. If noise is excessive, you could try alternative materials. Nylon, etc... |

I tried taking the plastic and foam of the flip-up portion of the helmet off , even removed I can pucker up and kiss the front of the helmet ( no tongue though!). I guess it's like growing out of your favorite jeans, you just have to admit defeat and buy a bigger size! Thanks for all the suggestions. |
