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?

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

Try a Helmet guardian

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

you may be able to find one cheaper elsewhere but these guys have always given good service and have reasonable prices

There's always a right place for all.

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.

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!

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

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.
