Kincardine, Ontario, Canada | I find the black foam windsock that comes standard with the Nolan Ncom system useless.
Can someone recommend a better cover that will reduce the wind noise? |

Winchester, Virginia | If you are using a full faced helmet put the microphone directly in the center of the chinbar and close the vent if you have one. As far as a 1/2 faced helmet, I haven't seen much that will block out a 60-70MPH windblast. |

They are made out of some sort of plastic, fairly hard. They just slip over the foam windsock and the friction keeps them on. We find that they do help, especially with the problem of the wind activating the VOX on the intercom. We don't have to talk as loud now, either, because we can lower the squelch level for the VOX. You don't really notice them when they are installed. They were originally meant for the Goldwing market, but work on any system. Just order the right size for whatever headset you are using.
They are not a perfect solution, but they do help. You are going to get wind noise when riding in crosswinds, no matter what you do.
Most of the wind noise comes from the passenger's headset, whether it's a Goldwing or Vision. When I'm riding solo, the sleeves pretty much eliminate the wind noise from my mic, except when in heavy crosswinds, but they help some even then.

Fargo, ND | I have the Scala II bluetooth and I have also experienced the wind problem. When I took off the foam windsock I noticed there was two sides to the mic. Both sides had voice slits on them. I covered the outside mic slits with black electrical tape and put the foam back on. It solved my problem. If yours has the came configuration then this might help.
