After purchasing the new HJC IS MAX-II Helmets, it was time to install the Sena SMH10 Intercoms. I removed them from the Shark helmets and double checked everything before laying them out for fitting in the HJC's.
It was extremely simple to remove the internal padding of the HJC's and there was a nice deep aperture in which to fit the Sena speakers. I just had to slice a tiny sliver of the polystyrene off on each side to make the speaker sit perfectly flush.
As with ANY modular (flip-front) helmet, there's always an issue with the microphone, but the SENA Dual Kit comes with flexible Boom Microphones which make it all that bit simpler. Needless to say, when the front of the helmet is brought down to the closing position, you need to pull the boom-mic close to your lips to avoid getting it trapped by the chin guard.
In use, the Sena SMH10 performed flawlessly (as usual). The audio was much clearer than it had been in the Shark helmets and we are both glad to be back in touch :-)
