I sourced a helmet holder.
Originally it mounts at the handlebar clamp location, but this is a vintage piece with M6 specifications.
The key is compact and elegant, and the lettering is nicely done with initials.
I’ll add a little character to it. When you zig it into place, it sits flush and looks great.
After much deliberation, I mounted it in the location with the least risk. I apologize that the integration is a bit rough around the edges, but it’s the safe choice.
• The rear fender would need to be cut significantly
• A sturdy, labor-intensive bracket would need to be fabricated
So the more labor and time required, the higher the cost, and if the final result isn’t perfect, it becomes a worst-case scenario.
It definitely has that installed-on look. I deliberated a lot over whether the opening should face up-down or left-right, but I think up-down is more practical.
If I move it any further inward, the helmet will contact the wheel. I noticed that most bikes have the helmet holder on the left side, so this feels different.
There are three ways to use it. First, just as is. The spring is strong, so it shouldn’t sag.
Extend it and hang the helmet directly.
Finally, extend the step and hook it on. This method is the most stable.
I thought about making it a hidden-and-retractable helmet holder like the NSR250’s passenger seat, but that would take too much work. For now, please try this first version.
