Moving on and off a motorcycle can be awkward when helmet communication gear tethers the rider to the bike. Universal fit - not built for one specific make or model, so confirm mounting space and wiring on your machine before ordering. A short, lightweight cable connects a Rugged Radio handheld directly to the helmet kit. The radio's PTT button activates the headset microphone.
