 lidlox
I am contemplating buying the Lidlox product but have one question for those of you that have them. Do the helmets hang so low that they hit the side of the spyder especially when the wind is blowing? Thanks.

Well
Just noticed today on the F3 that the helmet is very close to the body work when using the extenders supplied with the the product. It may be possible to not use the extender and just hang by the D-ring. On our RT it is not EVEN close! This is a must have product!

Your D-rings may be too thick, to fit into the locks...
But it's worth a try!

I'm just wondering why ryder's don't use the hooks under the seats to secure their helmets? Is there something wrong with them? Thanks

Did that the first time out on the RT, I have scratches to remind of of that moment of. Dumbness! That will definitely touch the body work!

It is close to body work on my ST. Always hang with the helmet out. So by the answers above it depends on what mystery spyder you have.

I have a 2014 RTS. It sounds like I will not have a problem with helmets hitting body with this Model. Thanks

Communications Systems
The only concern I have with this or the built-in bike hooks is that you need to remove your communications systems each time you lock your helmet to the bike. I have Uclear systems on my helmets with the clip mount. Anybody have concerns with their communications systems being stolen if the helmet is stored externally on the Spyder?

Now has anyone figured out a simple way to stop rain from filling the helmet when hanging from the Lidlox?

Yes. Use a half cover when you park the bike.

Or
Carry some Cling Wrap with you and seal it off if it rains!

If you use the hangers that come with it... It can hit the body if you are not careful... Also keep your hands under the helmet when unlocking it from the bike as it can fall straight down... FYI I love the product but was told by my riding buddies that they cut the straps and either sew new ones on or get them replaced. I have them on both bars so I take the chance.
Live, Love, and Ride! God Bless!

I love the Lidlox! I also lock the steering and have done so with and without a half cover. I never felt my body panel's finish were in any kind of jeopardy.

We leave the bars straight and we both hang ours. If you hang them so that the helmet is "out" away from the bike, there isn't an issue. Heck, I guess I've never hung it the other way. They are mighty handy to have. And yes, be careful when you unlock them...LOL

Not all helmets are created equal, so be careful with what you try to put under the seat!

We have a F3 and a STL. The helmets hang real close but I still like and use them.

I've seen folks with the F-3, mount the lidlox to the passenger grabrails.

It would take one heckuva strong wind; to bounce the helmets off of the bodywork...
