Looking for a good quality ear vibration mic/speaker for Kenwood HT

I want to use my Kenwood TH-D72 on my motorcycle with an ear vibration mic inside my helmet. I bought a cheap one from 409shop.com and everyone says the audio is so terrible that they can't understand a thing. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality ear vibration mic for Kenwood radios? I'm willing to spend a few bucks on it if it works well.
 

Mole',
I have a friend that went through the same thing just recently. He went through a few mics of various kinds, not much luck. And from what he found, and what I've run into with other ways of doing this, I would start looking for a noise cancelling mic that would 'fit' in a helmet, then do ear phones in some way. There are intercom sets for motorcycles that may be adaptable. I have no idea about brands etc, for them, you'd probably know more about it than me. And then there's the 'BlueTooth' type thingy. A biggy with those is adjusting mic gain/deviation, which is typically not available with 'BlueTooth' adapters. Is your HT doesn't have a mic-gain then you're out of luck.
The only experience I have with that sort of thing is through aviation which is a totally different animal.
Good luck.

Do a search for 'Pryme Radio Products' in California. They have a BlueTooth thingy.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
