I've been looking at the N102, as I like the look of it. Has anyone put the N-COM accessories in for listening to music etc..



CAUTION WILL ROBINSON

I bought a Nolan Flip face 102. Big Mistake. Seems my oval head and Nolan's round helmet don't jive. I wear hearos 32 dB ear filters. Well by the time I got home (65 miles) I swear that my ears felt like I had ridden 12 hours at 60mph+ with no ear plugs. The low frequency or booming type noise about drove me insane. Boy was Lynn surprised when we got home and I was irate! I also seemed to recall a friend saying how noisy the Nolan's were too...After I made the purchase.

The Helmet Shop in Daytona took it back and I got me an HJC flipface. The Nolan I returned was in perfect condition and the guy at the counter made sure of that too.

Moral of this tale? The helmet shop takes returns (but they have old helmets.)

Helmets are a precarious purchase. Just go to webbikeworld and read about them. Sizes vary within manufacture’s products, noise levels vary from rider to rider and fit is something you have to experience. Even good fit doesn’t ensure acceptable noise levels. I do know that 32db filters and helmets should allow one to hear there own 125db horn at 60 mph!
