Hey Everyone, I am interested in finding a way to mount my helmet to the back of the bike, for those beautiful days when riding by the beach. Is there an easy way to do this? I am sure the answer to my next one is yes, because we got some crafty mofo's here. Does anyone have a home made solution for this? Or does this need to bought in a store? | ||

There is an easy fix that a guy came up with, but I can't remember who. Cost me $0.41 and it works great. You need a small "L" bracket and a self tapping screw. You install it under your passenger pillion. Try looking in the knowledge vault. Hopefully, someone stored the original thread. | ||

It is really simple self tapping a screw and a mirror holder "L" bracket. IT turned out great and am Glad everyone who did it likes it. Heres the pics.    if you have any questions email me. SAR  | ||

I guess I'll have to do that while I'm swapping my S to an R rearend. I always did hate carrying my helmet around. There is ample room to put one on each side. Yes? Rich  | ||

or go to the hardware store and get a foot of cable(plastic coated type) Get two crush fixtures ( the hardware guy will know what they are called) they go with the cable. loop both ends and attach it to the seat lock(xb12s) maybe the R is different? if you make it 2 feet long you can put your jacket on it also. | ||

If your looking for the coated cable with crushed ends, you could always use one from a tailgate of a Chevy Truck or S-10 Blazer, they are super strong. Just another idea. | ||

The thin cable option is a good one. It's much to easy to slice the chin strap and walk away with your helmet. Henrik | ||

It's much to easy to slice the chin strap and walk away with your helmet. True, but then they have to spend money on a new chin strap and that may deture them, plus with this its attached to the bike so its an easy insurance claim if you wanna go that route. There is ample room to put one on each side. More then enough room. Thats how I have mine set up, on eon each side. SAR | ||

I lost two Arai in a very busy parking lot during the Anaheim motorcycle show a few years back. I was useing a woven cable the size of my pinky and a Krytonite lock. If a theif wants your helmet he will get it if you leave it on the bike. I have two buddys who had straps cut. | ||

I just hang a Master padlock from the outer hole of the right footpeg. It's always there when I need it. If I need to lock up 2 helmets, I use a short vinyl-covered cable from Aerostich with a loop at each end and run it through the passenger pag bracket. Sparky |
