I use a J&M communication system between driver and sidecar passenger,
It works but has a fair bit of static and becomes useless at higher speeds.
The wire connectors are to small and delicate and hooking yourself up to the bike is awkward.-How well do wireless systems work?How long do their batteries last?-I do not need music,cellphone and GPS connection,
only talk between sidecar and bike.What systems are available?
Appreciate any info.

I too used to use the J&M intercom. I think it is the noise of the K-Bike that kills it. I had a spark induced noise that got louder with rpms. I finally gave up on the intercom.
I even notice that my earbuds pick up motor noise....

I've been using an older Autocomm between the bike and sidecar with good results.
Also use it for bike to bike (with FRS radios) when oldest son takes his solo bike.

I have a friend that has this set up for him and his wife, he loves it, especially when others have it also, can link up to talk with others..

You have to talk to your missus the whole time???? Why not take advantage of a bit of silence while riding  I mean a bloke's gotta have some non-nagging time surely.....
