My cost effective solution to the lack of helmet hangers

https://picasaweb.google.com/109806531616623866408/20120302001?authkey=Gv1sRgCPyrzMbFsfqougE

I used chrome helmet hanger extensions bent 90 deg. and bolted to frame. Cost less than $15.00.

Have a look.

Totally off the subject. Your sign-on name is 86fj1200, but your picture is an '87?

Good job!

Best regards

Surly

dmn slick- just like my old GS 850 Sazook.. and off topic, the FJR is a better ride but I miss the shoulder dislocating yank of the FJ1200..

OK! I got it now. Me Likey!! I'll jump on that puppy dog Tomorrow. Thanks 86fj1200! I've tried many Helmet locking devices and I've tossed them all because THEY SUCKED!! This one looks like it'll do the Trick.

Nice job

Looks like I have another project before the snow's gone for good

Well, dang. I completely missed that discussion. I gotta try that.

I like your solution too, 86fj. I have one or two of those extensions laying around somewhere...

I just tried it and I can't imagine how I've missed that staring me right in the face all this time. I'm a Mechanical Rainman and that one slipped right by me! Thanks Slapnpop! I owe you a case of beer! :drinks: :fans:

Hey 86!, Your idea was awesome too. But, unlike you, I don't go anywhere without my side bags. For me, the bags are a Major Component of the bike. h34r:

Exactly. They are multipurpose, not the least of which is their role as rear sliders.
