I had to google IBTL. :beer:

Tim [Darth] isout of town for 1 more week.

Weird!!! I see it in my quote but not in his post.

I really want to see this thread but it is hacked apart? I see alot of this – and this R’s and this I’. am i seeing things?

Posted here per Request So I really like my Zumo 550 but there are no good in helmet mics. I looked everywhere and decided I was going to have to make one if I really wanted it. I bought an Autocom unit to have bike to bike communication with friends but I changed my mind about using it when no one else bought one, also the ear pieces we not loud enough and hurt my ears. I did however use it with my cell phone a few times before I pulled it off the bike and found the mic was a really nice noise canceling mic that did not pick up road noise even at 90mph. This is the Autocom Universal (Type A) Headset It was the base for my project. $75.00 direct from Autocom First I took a mono audio wire [Radio Shack Part# 420-2434 $3.99] its about 3 feet long. I cut the ends off separated the 2 wires on either end and attached the male plug I removed from the Autocom unit to the wire. Pos.+ on the inside shielded wire and the ground.- on the outside then after a little soldering and a wrap of electrical tap on each I had this [will use shrink tubing for a nice finish] Now to the 3/32" mic jack for the zumo 550. I found it at Radio Shack for $3.99 Part # 274-298 Note: this is a stereo version of the jack but it is ok. First solder the ground [outside wire] to the base as clean as you can so the hard boot will fit over when your done. Then solder the pos.+ [inside wire] to both of the open connections on the top of the stereo plug [making it a mono plug ] When your done trim off anything sticking out so the housing fits. Close the housing and slide on the lock ring for the housing [its a small black o-ring that comes with the jack] Now I have my cable to hook my mic to my Zumo Here it is hooked to the mic This is my cable hooked to the zumo bike mount Here is the mic in my flip face helmet Female 2 pin connector out of helmet And last my in ear plugs with in line volume control from radio shack All said and done total price was under $85.00 including the total cost of buying the [universal (Type A) Headset Universal Headset for use with all style helmets (full-face, open-face flip-front and half). Part Number: 1153] and the other small part. I NOW HAVE A HIGH QUALITY MIC FOR MY ZUMO 550 I WOULD HAVE GLADLY PAID MORE FOR IF I COULD FIND IT. Also BonusVFR THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT SHOWING UP WITH YOUR NEW FARKLED TOYS AND GETTING ME ALL EXCITED!!! THANKS MAN ITS THE BEST

Got mine installed today. took me a while to cut and file the fins so they where even. I had to make it look good :rolleyes: came right up to where is should be

Providing I get my r/r replaced tommorow I am down for a good ride anytime. My r1 r/r came in today and it took me 2 hours to get the fins cut off and get it filed straight to my liking

just got it together a bit ago. The dedumboing isnt right so i need to redo that.

I added you info to your pic so I could print it out easily and not forget your details. copy the pic and print it like I did if it helps

Sending pm to you! go check it!

I ordered an r/r off ebay and hope it ships fast. Thank you for all the input on this topic. George

I like what you have done on the front. Did you use paint or a black adhesive appliqué? "black adhesive appliqué" :thumbsup:

Ok so now I am trying to come up with a few more places to add some black to balance out the sides and tail section. Any Ideas?

Sweet Thanks guys!

Someone said I should do black down the nose but I cant remember who it was. Well I did it and I like it. Comments needed before I deside if I am going to keep it on. Thanks George

Does anyone else like this look. I am way happy. $225 for 8 spoke wheel with light damage shipped. $100 to repair damaged wheel. $450 to get the wheels and fork tubes polished. I got the wheels today and am still waiting on the forks.

Tommy I got your number and will call you for the dyno day. Lonny plans to get his done too Dyno day??? I need to hit the dyno too. Well, not right now, but around mid-May I will. George, the new paint job looks sweet!! :thumbsup: No problem I can get you in as well. $800 USD But I didnt pay out of pocket. The guy that ownes the dyno shop owed me money for IT work and the paint was instead of paying me cash. He paid less but I dont know what he paid. I just forgave a year old debt
