Helmet Holders

[InspectorGadget]

Anyone have a good location to securely mount helmets when fully loaded with gear for touring?
Thanks C-YA RL

2010 RT-S SM5
We will pick it up on April 17th, and have not had a chance to get the complete orientation yet.
Thanks C-YA RL

There are plastic hooks under the seat on both sides that can be used to hang the metal buckle. Simply close the seat and the helmets hang down the side.

Hey thanks loads. We were so excited looking at everything else we must have missed them.

There is a helmet hook on each side, under the seat, on the RT. They work quite well, although they are too far in to use the helmet D-ring. Just fasten the helmet strap and loop it on the hook, then carefully close (lock) the seat. In inclement weather, I suggest covering the helmets, seat, or both. The Owners Guide (accessible from the BRP site Owner Center), shows a picture on page 40. No such hooks on the RS.

Thank you so much for the info and the link. It was most helpful.

I found a solution

We went to Leesburg yestarday, and there was only room in the frunk for full face helmet. I had to put 1 in the helmet bag and tie that to the underseat helmet hook. Not the best or most secure setup.
Soooooo I came up with the following solution.
125 lb. test aircraft cable from Home Depot.
Notice that the helmet actually sets on the rear running board too.

I am using these, from Ebay and keyed alike. Got the idea from another Spyder ryder and they work great. Gun locks

2 full face helmets will fit in the frunk. Place the top of both helmets down so the 2nd is inside the 1st. It worked for me, just an idea

We put the bottom helmet in upside down and the other laying sideways with the opening facing aft. That's two full face helmets with scala g4 units installed on them.

As for the helmet hooks...we have used them with success. Just loop the strap through the d rings in such a way that holds he helmets tight against the side. It takes a few times to get it right. Once done correctly, it is very difficult to remove them without unlocking the seat...it is possible though.

I just fasten the helmet strap to use the helmet hooks. It is then long enough to reach, and it cannot be unfastened with the seat closed. I suspect it works better with straps with D-rings, though. The clasp ones may be too tight, and are a bit of a pain to loosen every time.

I cut the cable 15" long.
Good luck I am glad I could help.

Thanks for the great idea... I couldn't figure out how to hang my helmet on those hooks, since the seat wasn't closing!

Thanks for posting this, as that looks like a very good solution I could use as well. :thumbup:
