My 1984 GL1200A is all rigged with the factory intercom / stereo / cb units and I now wish to acquire the headsets / microphone pieces. Can anyone recommend a make / model that will allow me to simply plug in to the existing plugs?

Well the J&Ms are the most well known, but Edsets are probably even better and cost less as well. Great sound from Edsets and no wind noise either.

I just got headsets on ebay for my 84 Asp. I get the idea that anything with a 5 pin lower cord will work. I got a chatterbox: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2489683906&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AITfor $52 that works fine. I have a J&M on the way: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2489993805&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AITwhich I got for $46 and should be a much better unit. Both came with the five pin lower cord. You can email J&M on their website http://www.jmcorp.com/ to find out what lower cord you need to get if you find a headset without the lower cord. Lower cords come up on ebay separately from time to time. When I receive the second headset, I will report if there are any problems with having two different brands.

The Chatterbox ones get great reviews in the States and are not as expensive as th JMs.

Ended up buying a Chatterbox through e-bay. Cost me about $47 Cdn including delivery. As the wife and I were only seeking rider / passenger communication, we're hoping the unit will serve that purpose.
