Helmet Holder/Aerial Bar

PC is one very clever man, he has made me a Helmet Holder/Aerial Bar for my ST1300, it is a great bit of kit, holds two helmets, with the abilty to put a lock on them to keep the helmets safe!, and I want to there is enough room to add an Aerial or two if I need to at some point.

Thank you PC!

Nice addition Streak. What are the dimensions? Is it steel or aluminium?

I like the idea but I wouldn't leave my helmet there and leave the bike unattended in a car park etc.

It has a locking option on it Alan, I can just put a locking clip on it and bingo you would have to cut the straps off to get it off

That's Sydney for you!     :o

I guess they stitch on a new strap and D rings to get a cheap helmet.

Now all we need to do is to piss proof helmets that are locked on.  :grin That's my 3rd worst nightmare about leaving my helmet with the bike. 2nd worse is a No. 2 steaming away in there. Most worse would be donning the helmet having not noticed either of the above. Never had those problems and I try and keep away from places where it could maybe happen...but there's a first time for everything.

This device comes the closest to solving the problem, methinks.

Some really good gear on that site, and not outrageously expensive.
