BT PRO Slide Mount

3/5

For the use of Income.

I have been using a btx2 pro s with a SZ-RAM4 and bought it with Speaker so that I could use it with my new SHOEI Z-8. I was so attached to the SZ-RAM4 that I couldn't bear to retire it, and since I would likely want to use Jet in the hotter months, I decided to keep it too. I decided to keep it, and the question arose as to what to do with Income.
When using Income, the Microphone is available in Included Parts:for full face, and it is sufficient to use the unused one in Included Parts:for the mounting Clamp, but the Speaker and SlideMount need to be replaced or newly prepared each time they are used. However, the Speaker and SlideMount need to be replaced or newly prepared each time they are used.
I thought about changing the Speaker and SlideMount for each season, but I decided to purchase the Speaker and SlideMount because it is troublesome to take off the interior and put on and off each time, and if I just attach the Body, I can use different Helmets depending on my mood. I decided to purchase a Speaker and a SlideMount.
For installation, we decided to use double-sided tape to attach the outside of the clamp, which was not used in the Included Parts:section, to the helmet, but the SlideMount, which we purchased additionally, does not come with two screws to fasten it to the clamp, We had to think of a way to fix it to the Clamp. At first, I was thinking of using one screw for each SZ-RAM4 and Z-8, but I didn't want to damage the screws by applying excessive force, so I decided to prepare screws. However, this was not the Size sold around the corner. I had to buy a clamp to attach the screws, and it cost about 2,000 yen for two small screws. I had no choice but to use the regular screws for the Z-8, and for the SZ-RAM4, which is likely to be used less frequently, I removed the Clamp once, removed the Screw holder from the Clamp, and fixed the SlideMount to the Clamp with 2.5mm diameter Screws and Nut to make it ready to be used. The Clamp was removed and the Screw holder was removed from the Clamp.
As for the wiring, in the SZ-RAM4, the wires were placed inside the helmet, crossing the edge of the helmet, so it was necessary to protect the wiring from damage when the helmet was placed on the ground, etc. In the Z-8, the wiring could be pulled inside the helmet without passing through the point where it hits the ground, etc., so no protection was needed. However, with the Z-8, it was possible to pull the wiring inward without passing through the point where it hits the ground, so no protection was needed, and the wiring was well concealed, making it look very refreshing.
After installation, it works fine and I can now use Income on my Z-8. For this gold price, I would like to see at least a Screw included in the kit. View detail
