Default Helmet holder
We like to ride and we do use our helmets but sometimes on backcountry roads we would like to take them off and feel the wind in our hair. I have a net I use when when riding solo but I was wondering if anyone knew of any setups or contraptions for sale or even a great idea that you might use yourself for two helmets. Any input will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I never ride without a helmet (LOL) but a detachable 4 point docking hardware kit + luggage rack + nylon bag should do the trick. Spendy but you could also use for a Tour Pak etc. Good luck. Nice bike by the way.

Personally, my helmets fit in a saddlebag. And you don't have any hair....

Find a big tree or rock on the country road and hide them behind it. Pick em up on the way back

Run your strap through the sissy bar and let it hang towards the back

Do a search for " The helmet handler". See if that will work for you.

I guess I should have mentioned I don't ride it as pictured. For one its at least 3hrs to any decent riding country cuz I live in a effin desert. Me and the ole lady take 4day weekends and get out of dodge. I use the king tour pack with a tbags on top of Airwing rack, jackets and rain gear go in it. Clothes go in tour pack and my right saddlebag. The left bag has tools, compressor tire repair kit etc. We use modular helmets cuz every hwy out of here is 80mph so people do 90mph. I have a net that'll hold one helmet on top of tbag but I'm looking for a way to do both.

I used to strap them to my sissy bar. My current one is really short, so I'd strap it to my knee.
