I Moved my Helmet Lock Location

[GolfVenture]

I really dispise the location of my Helmet Lock on my 89 & 91 VR.

 

The 91 was located on front of the rear crash bar. The Helmet would drag on the ground.

I do not have a picture of it for it is wrecked and mostly dismantled.

 

The 89 VR is on the very end just below the rear trunk.

I found it difficult to use and so I never used it.

 

So I end up putting them in the trunk. I know that the helmets are more secure in the trunk, But some times the trunk is full, or I may be just taking a rest stop or site seeing stop and just want an easy place to put the helmets. But yet somewhat secure.

 

I was looking at the 2 allen head screws at the last joint of the handle bar and thought hmmm... wonder if.. So I tried it and I really like it.

 

I unscrewed the inside screws of the 2 screw set on each side of the handle bar.

 

See Pictures Before / After / and with a Helmet on.

 

Try it you might also like it. 2 philips SS screws about 2 inches long with reset heads. $1.25 each.

 

 

Now I can put a light bar where the helmet locks used to be and install my new Custom Dynamics lights there.

Good idea!

I guess you could say that is thinking outside the box!!!

 

I just used a "T" extension on the "under the trunk" type.

Ya, I have a set of those also. the helmet seemed too easly to swing rubbing on the side of the helmet by the wind or someone brushing it as they walk by. Don't want to mare my beautiful helmet or the shield. Maybe I'm too pickey.

 

Plus now I can mount a light bar where the helmet locks used to be.
