Helmet Storage

[ekfraz]

On the 2013 and 2014 RT's there in no room to store your helmet when you get to where you are going, I just have to carry my full face helmet. I was able to fit it in the Frunk on mt 2008 GS. any suggestions?

:dontknow: What's wrong with using the frunk, or the side storage compartments? :dontknow:

[ekfraz]

the full face helmet wont fit in any of the storage compartments, maybe I am not sticking it in there correctly.

it attaches behind the license plate and works wonderfully on my 2014 RTL.

I have a 2013 ltd fits right side bag (larger than left ) or in frunk .

[bcoulter19]

My shoe I will not fit in the frunk.

[ekfraz]

I will give it another try, I hate to have to carry the helmet everywhere I go. Thanks for the info.

My head is to big mine won't fit in the side either but my wife's will. I wear an XL helmet.

There's always a right place for all.

[ekfraz]

I got the helmet to fit, I wasn't holding my mouth right, thanks for the help.

Usually a helmet will fit in the right side case. The helmet must be laid on its side and pointed in the right direction...usually with the round portion facing outward. I have never seen even an XL helmet fail to fit.

There are helmet hooks under the seat, but you may need to fabricate some extension straps or loops to use them if your helmet straps are short.

That's exactly what I did.
One helmet goes in the frunk, and the other on the hook under the seat. I use a piece of para-cord to go through the d-rings and onto the hook.

I have a Scala rider on the side and I think it would fit without that.

[Jester]

Always kept 1 HJC 2x and 1 S in the frunk til the 14 RTL. Now only the S and my 1/2 helmet. Granted only have face shields, no chin piece!

[Dan McNally]

My XL Nolan N104 will fit in the frunk, but has to be put in just right . . .

[bikeguy]

My Shoei Modular will fit in the frunk of my 2010 along with raingear and a quart of oil. It is a small, however.

Does she complain about the pain when you close the lid on her neck??:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I suppose some day I may regret it, but during the day at parking lots I just place my helmet on the seat and throw my crash jacket over the top of it. So far in 8 years no one has ever messed with my unlocked helmet, jacket, and gloves. The helmet fit nicely over the handlebar of the GW. At night, like at a motel, I do take it inside.

Very good. I deserved that. I could easily get my helmet and jacket in the frunk on my 2010 RS no problem.

Or trunk straight in w/ visor up at you along with jacket/ gloves ect

We use kuryakyn helmet locks. The locks screw onto the ends of your handlebars easily. A key is used to release the helmet. One of the best mods we have done to our 2012 rt.

[tbhlaw]

There is a product that is a steel mesh bag with cable and lock. Put your helmet in your cover, then into the bag and fasten the bag to the passenger handle on the RT. I believe it is made by a company called pac-safe.

:agree: We got ours from Kewl Metal. They work great, and unlike the ones that you hang off the license, other bikers won't pee I your helmet!:roflblack:

I have the helmet guardian also and love it.

I used to do that also until someone stole my helmet and I was about 80 miles from home. Rode home with a bike helmet purchased from a nearby Walmart! Now it gets stored! :D

Does anyone have a picture of this installed on a RT. it looks like the best idea i've seen.

[Vidman]

Good info as I am STILL waiting for my '14. Come on BRP.

Not to hi-jack this thread but after riding since 1968 I have never had a helmet stolen. I take my bluetooth off and put in compartments and leave my helmet on mirrors of my bike.

Has anyone had their helmet stolen? I can't think of much grosser then wearing someone else's used helmet after a summer of sweating etc.

We wanted a good way to lock our helmets on our 2012 RT L -- we used the helmet guardian and have transferred it to our 2014 RT L. Works well for us. We have Nolan helmets and use a lock extension "T" which lowers the helmets a little.

Where do you get the lock extension "T".

[bcoulter19]

Never mind me being the computer person that i am. I'm a programmer by day when i'm not riding my spyder or being a husband, father,son,son-in-law etc..., anyway I googled and was able to find several and fairly cheaply . I will check out the loacl bike shops this afternoon and see if they have any. By the way don't tell my boss that i'm on here when i'm supposed to be coding she may not like that to well. :yikes:

I will have to try again. I have not been able to get my Shoei RF1100 with the scala in the frunk of my 2013 RTS and get it closed.
