Fitting Starcom to Shoei Multitec?

[Jazbee]

I've just bought a Starcom helmet kit (speakers and boom mic) to use with my Zumo. Any hints on fitting it to the Shoei Multitec? There are good spaces in the lid for the speakers but all I've managed to remove is the cheek pieces?
Any tips most welcome

Autocom + multitec = GSrich.

This is the man you need to speak to regarding this one mate.. He's just brilliant and works for Autocom. He is a mine of information and will give you any help that he can.. I got my autocom into my multitec -with some fiddling and faffing .. His advice was spot on and assisted me ..

Good luck with it .

I have a Multitech and Starcom Advance.
When I bought the lid at the Excel I went straight to the Starcom stand to buy a headset and to ask them to fit it for me.
Their advice was NOT to use a boom mic as these are designed for open face lids. The boom is quite thick and you will probably need to "carve" a groove in the underside of the cheekpad in order to make it fit without the pad popping off. You would also need to adjust the boom every time you put the lid on. I was with Wapping of this parish (an Autocom and Multitech owner) and he agreed that the boom mic can be a bit of a pain.
Invest £20 in a "bud" type headset and stick the mic on the chinbar.
The wiring can easily be pushed into the gap between the shell and the lining using a lolly stick or something similar.
I have used mine a lot since January and it works perfectly. In true "boy" fashion I have the full kit - ipod, SatNav, walkie talkie (hardwired into the battery under the seat) and bluetooth mobile phone, all of which work perfectly. The PTT and volume control were good "investments" as well! I must be their best customer ...

Not for much longer - just "invested" £30 in Nikwax products.
