Default Skid lid wall mount.

I have a couple of old skid lids that I don't wear. I have ALOT of stickers and such on them and want to mount them on my Harley wall in my mancave. Was looking for ideas on how to do this. Or if there is a place that sells a wall mounting kit.
Thanks.

Just get a pack of those little metal hangers that have a spike in the back of them. Tap them into the wall and hang the lids by the straps.

Get a couple of those styrofoam fake heads wigs come or a hat rack like the better stores have . I'm sure you look around the phone book or check around some of the bigger mall stores you can find a couple mannequin heads some where , if your going to do it at least be original about it .

I like those Martimus, but not sure how a skid lid would look on that.

Dan, that one there looks like it will work best for what I am looking for.

Thanks for ALL the great replies!!!!

A piece of 5/4x10 shaped with routered edges or aluminum c-channel mitered and slipped over the edge. Cut pairs of vertical slits, dado out the back horizontally between pairs of slits then strap the helmets on with the strap and d-rings in the dado. Hang it on the wall.
Or, make lamps out of 'em.

Just drill a hole in the top and mount them to the wall with long screws.
