    Default Securing Items to the back seat Helmet etc

    I have a Spyder RT SE6 Base Model 2015 Having upgrade from a 2010 SE5

    I ride solo as the wife is not so keen on long distance travel

    Over the years I have been to Scotland x 2 Germany x 3 Holland x 2 France and Belgium x 3 times Over that time I have learn't what to pack etc and don't have a need for a trailer. Because the side cases, Front and Rear Funk are full I don't have anywhere to secure my helmet and I
    also use the Back seat to carry a roll bag

    I have been thinking of a way to secure those back seat items :

    I have come up with this idea and others may find it useful

    In the rear trunk I have fitted a Stainless Steel 316 Marine Grade Round Eye plate mounted on Rubber washers to keep any damp out this is secured by the bolt and a nyloc Dome Nut
    This is placed at the back where the rear Passenger Back rest is secured to with the Eye Plate hidden below the Rear Passenger Back rest
    at the back of the seat

    The Eye plate can only be removed if you have access to the rear funk, so once it locked the Eye Plate is secure

    I can use the Eye place to secure my Helmet bag which has a steel cable and a combination lock to the rear seat and the Eye plate can also be
    used a a fixing bracket to secure a roll bag or other items when needed

    Here a some photos which may help :-
