Helmet lock

[simon79]

Hmmm...I knew I had those two helmet holders since the first day I had my GS, but after all I don't confide in them that much...I use them only in emergencies, when it would be really impractical to take my helmet with me and/or if I use my cheap jet helmet once in a while (just for a quick tour downtown...no flaming me plz! ).
Other than that, I always take my Nolan with me, I'm getting used to this.
Even when I had a scooter I'd usually do it, since my lift-front type helmet wouldn't fit under the seat compartment.

i had heard people talk about this mysterious creature, now i know, cept someone must a cut mine off cause its not there

The left side is welded on but the right side is bolted on and can be replaced. It bolts under the bracket for the electrics....unless something else is different on the 89. Should not be hard to add one.

So, how many of you read that little book that came with your bike?   

All will be revealed inside the little book!

Haha, awesome.  I was always wondering how all these people leave their helmets on their bikes.  Doh!

I didn't know either.... I have read through the manual but not for a long time, and it's easy to overlook something like that. I can't believe it though, the wealth of knowledge on this forum and most of us didn't even know about that hook

Well, that's something that SHOULD be on the wiki. I did a quick search and didn't see it there.

Nor did I know there was one. I've used the seat at a lock befor, just putting the d-ring next to the frame. I had no idea there was an integrated lock.

Color me happily informed.

You're right. I just added it to the wiki.

yup just like an old watch, you gotta crack it a few turns each ride

I use my helmet locks all the time. And not just for my helmet. I took the metal ring off a keychain and attached it to the zipper-pull on the cuff of my mesh jacket. Now I can lock my jacket to my bike as well...(though I would only ever do this with a relatively inexpensive jacket)

All of this reminds me of watching a dealer salesman show a 17 year old kid how to ride his new Gixxer.

This is the brake...

This is the clutch...

^^^^^
A GSX-R under the @$$ of a 17-yr-old kid?
Arghhh!!!

takes more time/energy to use it than to carry it around for me (I always keep a bungy-net on the rear portion of the seat, I would have to take it off, lift seat, slip helmet, close, retie net.. bleh...)
