Helmet storage

young-ninjette · May 2nd, 2013, 10:12 AM

Hi everyone,

I noticed my ninja 250 2008+ model has some hangars under the seat to stow your helmet, how does one keep the helmet on those little hangars? How come i see some people able to ride their bike with a spare helmet hanging on the side of their bike?

aside from a helmet bag i can strap on, is there any other options for storing/stowing a second helmet, especially when i go to pick up my girlfriend?

thanks in advance

Remove the seat and hook the D-rings on your helmet around the little metal piece. Replace seat and it should look like this.

Those hooks are alright, but a pain in the arse to get the seat back on, and useless if you have a micro ratcheting helmet.

the hooks on the bottom of the bike are to secure straps to. not to hang things from. the helmet locks are under the rear seat.

I had a hard time using the hooks when trying to use BOTH D rings, using one ring now, it goes on like nothing is there

On only using the big "D" hook, vs both of them.

Other options are expandable backpacks or tank bag for helmet, Pannier bags or M/C cargo net.
