Author Message   Davidxt Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 03:05 pm:        In the tool kit you get under the seat of the buells what is the figure 8 cable used for? says in the book its a security cable but what are you supposed to do with it??   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 03:19 pm:        I think it's for securing multiple helmets using the helmet lock.   Bttrthnwrk Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 03:23 pm:        I'm not privy to Buell's intentions, so I can't say for sure, but I'd guess it's to put halfway through your helmet's D-rings and then lock both end loops in the helmet lock above the rear preload knob. This might be most useful when your bike's wearing it's sidebags. I know my helmet won't fit onto the helmet lock when the bags are on the bike. The helmet strap just isn't long enough. Just my guess, though.   Davidxt Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 03:29 pm:        never thought of that. that will come in handy then since the d-rings on my helmet didn't reach the lock even with the boxes off :S Thanks   Petereid Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 08:30 pm:        It's a tow cable in case you break down   Mike_dinger Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 08:59 pm:        No shit? I never even wondered what the heck that little cable was for.   Cyclonedon Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 01:16 am:        I know I have that kit under my seat but I can't get it our because it's wedged in there so tight.   Tginnh Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 05:19 am:        What is this cable thing? Did the 06 come with one? Is early alzheimers kicking in? I don't recall seeing one.   Hughlysses Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 05:42 am:        It's a ~6" long piece of small diameter aircraft cable with a small loop on each end. You should find it stuffed in the bottom of the little zip-up cloth pouch that your toolkit came in.   Babired Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 08:13 am:        My 2000 X1 came with attached cables just like the one in the tool kit to secure helmets to the bike. The cables run thru the d-rings and lock under the seat on the X1. I got the helmet extension for my lock on the Uly I just keep it there when I ride.   Tginnh Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 08:32 am:        Had to run down and check. Nope, not in there. Doesn't mean it wasn't there originally - it probably was and I don't recall. I rearranged the tools I carry a while ago when I added that farm machinery manual tube. Babired - I have the same extension. It is essential for helmets, like Nolans, that have a ratchet chin strap.
