Stowing Helmet(s)
« on: February 09, 2006, 02:30:15 PM »
What'd you do with your helmet(s) when you leave the bike out of sight at stops?  If you can't stow those full face/ 3 qtr. face helmets, how do you secure (the expensive) ones?

Yeah, Bill, I've got that HD frame mount lock on my softtail, but was wondering what other options others have come up w/ for the SEEGs, etc.  The gun cable lock is a great idea......small, light, relatively strong(?), free ::) (w/ new gun), etc.  thanks, spyder

Spyder, I use my king tour-pak!  ;D

But, before I had one of those, I used to carry a small cable lock.

Just never took that much interest to secure one before.  I just hang it off the handlebar grip. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  It's never been a problem.

JC, I wouldn't change a thing if I were you.......it's people like you w/ that devil-may-care attitude that never would lose a helmet.  Now, someone paranoid like me.......every drunk punk in the neighborhood's gonna try and rip mine off.  Just the way it is, I guess.  [smiley=helmet.gif] Har!  spyder

I'm like JC, never thought/worried about securing helmet. [smiley=nixweiss.gif] However I've been afraid to hang it on the handlebars (have the fear that for some reason it will slip down and smack tank), I usually sit it on the seat or under the bike. If I'm going in for the night I'll take it in with me, or if I'm really uncomfortable about where I'm parking bike I'll just carry helmet in with me.

I've been looking for a good way to store (not necessarily lock) two helmets on a SEEG since I bought mine last March.

With the bike on the jiffy stand and bars turnes the left, one helmet on the right handle bar, one on the right hwy. peg. Works great!

I just hang it off of my right highway peg.  Never had a problem.  I do take it in if I'm overnighting.
