Gday all
What is a good way of carrying a second helmet on the bike if I want to pick up a friend. It wont fit in my saddlebags and I do not wish to put on a sissy bar. Does anyone have a simple solution that I am not realising.

Regards

Derek

Smallish bungee cargo net on the pillion. If your chinstrap is long enough and doesn't have any paint scratching items on it, you can put under the pillion for a little more security.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

I would agree that the small bungee net (mesh) would be the easiest. Just riding on the passenger seat.
