Riding with spare helmet?

Recommended Posts

New MT07 owner here. I was surprised to find no helmet hooks on the 2018 mt07. 

Anyone figured out a solution to ride with spare helmet? Ideally, someway to lock the helmet by the strap to the seat when parked as well. 

It's a cheap helmet that I don't really care about, so not worried about theft.

Bungee net on the passenger seat to carry a spare.   As for locking, get a serious bicycle cable lock with a good lock for it, then thread it through the face bar and the wheel, sitting on the ground, and lock it up.  I also will stick the cable through the sleeve of my jacket if I don't want to wear it.

For locking your helmet to the bike when parked, the helmet holding cable on the underside of the passenger seat is a little clumsy to use but otherwise works pretty well. 

And for carrying a 2nd helmet for a passenger, it’s fairly easy to rig a solution using the bike’s built-in luggage straps and a small elastic cargo net from Amazon as @klx678 suggested. When not in use, the cargo net easily stows away in the tool pouch box under the rear seat.

I'd put it in a backpack, tank bag or around my waist.  Used a combination lock.  Lots of uses.
