    Alright, I know one of the biggest complaints i have had about my bike, is that there is no place to put my helmet that is secure while i am not riding. I bought some hooks off of E-bay, for about $10 including shipping. After the instal, the only thing I can see is that I may need to notch the rear seaqt cover for it to fit flush with the helmet hooked on, or just ride without the cover in place. Here is the link, took about 15 min. to install, and I am sure the guy would appreciate the business. If they have been listed someplace else and I missed them, sorry, and if you are the one who is making these, how about a Buell XB discount?;)
    I tried to post the link, but its too long for the forum, and it wont accept it, so here is the Item number, and the description.

    Item number: 260172004827

    Hey azsnow,
    I was wondering if you had any pictures of the hooks on your bike so I can see where you put them/ how they look. Thanks

    azsnow, that is an awesome find. Did you just drill into the sub-frame and rivet straight to that?

    Yeah, the kit comes with either rivits or self tapping screws. I chose to use the rivits because i thought it would be less likely to pull or back out.

    Here's another option for helmet hanging. The straps with the d-rings can be purchased at Home Depot for a buck. They are where they make keys.[img]ttp://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/sledge21/CIMG0301.jpg[/img]
