I have to say, we have now seen it all. OP created an account to find this out, so dig deep!

Now all of us want to know what the hell you all do with your hats

What does anyone need a cap? I gave that up after Little League. Isn’t that what hair is for to cover ones head?

I do that around town a little but worry about losing. I see some who ride with it front.

Being seeing around alligator clips and wire. It looks a little stupid, but if it works. I see them on Amazon

They actually work great.
I just bought a set at the House of Harley last week, it was little windy kept feeling like I was going to lose hat, they had them on the register counter, figured what the hell, clipped them on and wow hat stays put. I have seen guys with like cowboy hats and was trying to figure out how they stayed on, these must be the trick.

i would like to find some eqipments for my cap to keep it easily during riding. can you recommend something?
someone already recommeded cap holder that is for belt loop in pants, but I dislike it.
I prefer to install something to my bike,,
Ball Cap.....

Maybe buy a styrofoam head and strap it to the sissy bar facing rear-word then put the hat on it and secure it.
Please post photos if you pursue this, eh, option. You could (?) mod the head and put taillights in the eyes.
