Can you guys turn on/off helmet electronics while wearing your bucket?

[hon143]

With my bucket on, I can't reach into my bucket to turn on my helmet fan. I placed the switch in front between the hovi tips. The only way is to turn on the fan before I put on the bucket. Because, I can't bend my arms that far to be able to reach into my bucket while wearing it.

 

Is that the same for everyone else here?

I can turn on/off my Echo fan system, but that's it. The other electronics systems must be turned on or off when I'm not wearing it.

for me it's helmet on.  and power on.

 

helmet off and then power off

 

the switch is in the back of my helmet

I can bend my arm just enough to turn my Echo fan system on and off. My environmental sound must be turned on before I put on the helmet, but I can control the volume while wearing the helmet because I mounted that component next to one of the fan switches.

Same as above, can only turn my fans on and off with bucket on.

For those who can reach the fan switch, where did you guys place the switch in the bucket?

Mine is part of one piece that runs around the bottom of my bucket and has fans attached to the ends that fit in the hovi tips well. There's two buttons that I can access with my thumbs.

Can just reach my fan on/off switch while wearing the helmet. Its place in the side of the helmet, inside the "tube" area.

Same here. Toggle switch is in tube near ear.

I can turn off everything, Fans, ROM/FX and EAS, all on separate button switches.

Update: I can actually turn on/off everything in my bucket while wearing it. It is just difficult to turn the EAS/RomFX on and off because they have small slide switches, as opposed to the push buttons of the fans.

Ah hahaha

I put the card from a Disney mask onto an Echo fan bracket so it's all about 1" or less from the s-trim without being super-visible

Don't lie, you're Winnie the Poohing behind that car door to sit behind the wheel.

 

I ended up making fan mounting plates from spare ABS and mounting them to the rear of the hovi tip. This let me mount the fans directly under the lenses.

 

Also freed up space to e600 an l-bracket to mount the cutoff switch to the inside of the cheek tube, pointing down just forward of the ears. Allows me to cut on/off at will with my thumb.

Old thread.

 

But yes, I can easily reach up and turn my fans on and off. (separate switches, each side, one for each fan) I purposely chose simple toggle switches that I can flip with one finger near my ear. And yes my arm bends enough to reach my ear.

 

Reaching up to power on the amp for the speaker system is a little trickier, because it's a wheel know slightly farther in, but still doable.
