Named her "Hurricane" for the insane acceleration she has. I was wondering if anyone could give me any solution for carrying a 2nd helmet. I cant find any place where i might fasten another helmet while riding because quite often I have pillion riders and carrying another helmet is very important for me..Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks and happy riding ! 0
      I'd suggest not to strap your helmets even if you find a valuable locking system anywhere where your motorcycle is not withing your eye sight. My suggestion would be to get yourself helmet/cum back pack which Cramster offers, the bag is pretty cheap and a boon when it comes to carrying helmets.

      Cramster Laplace 4.0 at 1950~ good VFM stuff.

      Cramster's website has for more info.



      Cheers!

      Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
      The girl said, 'NO!'


      And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


      THE END

            Hey, thanks! It's a nice piece of gear, will probably buy it later when i take it out on the highway..but for normal city riding, that backpack would be bothersome.. :P

            Even if it was road legal, that looks extremely uncomfortable for anywhere but the track! Sore behind for sure..lol

              Nope. You've mentioned you have a GF right, so let her do the carrying, while you ride "uninterrupted"

                            Guys Does anyone have any idea on the crash guard sliders, fork protectors, etc...

                            Availability
                            Cost
                            and where to get it fixed (Does the SVC fits them if we can get it online and provide to them)
