Helmet Bracket

[FJRGuy]

I'm curious how many people use the Helmet Bracket under the back seat. I was scratching my head and had to go look at the parts fiches to even determine what it was.

Occasionally use it. It's not like it's very secure. A stout pair of nail clippers could cut the wire.

Just to keep the honest people honest, and not to drop it off the bike.

I used it all the time before I put the bags on, only used it once since.

I let my cousin borrow my cable lock for a few months, I used mine a few times then.

My disk lock came with a nice cable lock.I can set my own combination, plus its long enough to run through my jacket sleeve and 2 helmets all together.It was definitely worth $10 more when I bought my disk lock.

Mine was originally in the tool kit.Theres a little cable about 8" long, underneath the rear seat theres a bracket it loops onto.

Never used it. I use a Pistol cable gun lock wrapped around the passenger grab rail through the D-Ring instead. Little more secure I feel, and also easier/faster to lock/unlock, dont need to remove the seat.

That's not a bad idea! I have a slew of those things collecting dust.

LoL - I guess that woulda been an easier way to figure out what that thing was then trying to find it on the parts fiche!

I don't have anything on the helmet to loop the cable through anyway, so as of a couple days ago, that bracket is in the spare parts box. I'm planing on fastening my fuseblock in that location. Safe, Secure and Accessible.

Thanks for the idea! I use the cable from time to time, but I never trusted that thing. it's soooo thin. Thanks again.

I was wondering what I was going to do with all those cable locks I have.
I have the perfect one that says Smith & Wesson right on it. Great idea!

That's a great idea.

Great idea. My 1911 has internal locking so the cable lock just sits. Now I can use it. Although I'm still cautious of leaving my helmet with the bike. I've known people who've had the straps cut or thing dumped in their helmets. Bugs me out.

I read the manual, but can't figure out how to use it. Sorry. Maybe I'm too smart? haha

Oh hell.. I have a box full of them little buggers.. That's an awesome ideal..

Now that's a great idea. And for that you get a :spank:

WHAT??!?! I get a spanking?!? LOL How about some REP instead!
I just keep the key for the gunlock on my MC keyring. Junk dumping is a definate risk, but I have never had anyone in my 2-2.5 years of riding be that much of a jerk. But doesnt take much to just look real quick before putting it on. I just dont like walking into a place carrying the helmet... Unless I get stuck in the rain, I will not leave the helmet out in the rain for risk of the inside getting wet.
