Wall-mounted helmet rack ideas...
Would like to get a wall-mounted helmet rack that will hold at least 3 3/4 or full-faced helmets. It would be great if it could also hold other touring gear, such as a motorcycle jacket, gloves, etc. Looking for photos of either store-bought rack or owner-built.
I've seen a couple on eBay that also hold a Tour-Pak but I'll never take mine off, but still open to suggestions.
Thank you.

DIY helmet rack
I suggest making a rack out of 1" PVC pipe and fittings. You can buy a couple of lengths of tubing and several fittings. Cut a few pieces and trial fit to get what you want before gluing. You will get a custom rack of your own design that fills your every need. Good luck.

I took a gutter spike and a length of neoprene fuel tubing to use as a cushion and drove the spike into a wall stud 2 X 4. Can't get much more simple than that, but not very ornate when the helmet was on my head.

Just make a open closet. You can have a self on top and a rod for hangers.
You did not say how or where it would be used. This restricts a lot of ideas.
We have a spare bed room with a walk in closet. It is our leather closet. I also have a enclosed metal cabinet In the shop for gloves/helmets/glasses.
Now if my wife would remember this I wouldn't spend so much time hunting her stuff. I have to buy a lot of sun glasses because she lays em down where ever it may be.

Any hefty wall mounted horizontal rack should work fine, but thats depending on how you want to hang the helmets.

I bought a put together closet from home depot/lowes/menards and mounted on a 2x4 base to get it off the floor...it sits at the front of my garage. the helmets go on top shelf, left side had coat rack for coats/vest, the right side has shelves for manuals, glasses, bags, misc. It takes a bit of room away, but I can park my van in there in winter (while I sob and cry because bike is away in storage!) and close the doors. Keeps things neat and orderly and out of the way.
