ChinaV, good suggestion. It's all getting very convoluted though. Sigh...

Lao Jia Huo, I was thinking about your wires and though i agree the handlebars may be the best location for the PTT switch, it does mean you have to disconnect everything every time you want to get off the bike. Is it worth it? Would it not be handier to attach it to your index finger where you could push it with your thumb easily enough, but it would still come with you when you want to take a quick wizz in the bushes?

As for your awkward-to-line-up connections, maybe just wrap colour-coded electrical tape around the jacks and draw a line in black marker where they should line up?

The costume is indeed all real. I covered the bike and helmet with tape one bored day and loved the look. The next halloween, i didn't have to think too long for an idea... Now for your enjoyment, here is The Crotch Appreciation Dance!
