    Midwest Road Trip Suggestions?

    Sena - attach to helmet ...

    I have done it on a Shoei Neotec, an LS2 Adventure Helmet and a Schuberth C3, I've never trimmed anything. I did use three little self tapping screws on the LS2.

    Wheaton and airboss do Kalifornia (did we really do this?)

    This all happened long before I came to this forum, but i have met and ridden with quite a few of the reprobates mentioned herein. I've been fortunate enough to have ridden most if not all of these roads at one time or another, often with Festar in tow or more likely following him. Great report.
