Has anyone bought and can recommend a pretty cheap but good comms kit? Looking for something for use between rider and pillion.

Thanks in advance

Had one don't remember the make, got it from Hein Gerick. Was OK but basically amplified wind noise into your ear.

I wouldn't bother if the wife wanted to go out again.

Consider a cheap two way PMR radio (something like a Baofeng 777 or 888 or UV3r, if they still make them - I got a few for £10 each many years ago) and a hands free kit. You'll get the occasional radio person intruding on your chat but otherwise they're excellent over short range, reliable and simple.

Or you can get bluetooth kits, I have had one in a box (unused!) for many years so don't know if it works in practice, but seems like it should.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
