Stupid Question

ok.. now i know this is about one of the stupidest questions but i cannot figure it out

how do you use the helmet thing on the passenger peg... i cant figure how the helmet is supposed to go on.. do you have to have a special helmet or am i just retarded :screwy:

anyway.. i sat outside yesterday for like 10 minutes trying to figure it out with no luck... its mind boggling.. i can jerry-rig just about anything but i cant figure this out...

anyone that would like to give this dumbass a pic so i can see how to do it would be apprechiated..

i asked my roomate.. and he doesnt know how to use it either... and i dont want to go to the local shop because they are pricks

anyway thanks

hahahaha, don't worry man i can do it eather. But i can even get mine off to try.

which kind do you have?

all mine have been a hook which comes from either the seat and hangs down like a "J" or a bracket on the inside of the frame.

with the seat one, push the base of the helmet up to the fairing.
use the loop fastener on the strap of the helmet and twist it one half turn so as when you stretch it to the hook and slide it onto the hook, it untwists itself to sit naturally.

with the bracket its basically the same deal. its all in the twist of the loop. twist the wrong way and it'll be too short .

haha.. ok its the one that has no hooks or anything.. jeez i feel like a retard :banghead: ... im still lost... i have a little bracket on my rear left (driver) side passenger peg.. with the helmet lock key thing... a C lock that has a bar that goes up and down... haha.. wow... and (if possible) pictures.. im a visual learner ;)..

i dont have any brackets or hooks that come from the seat (although the f'n retard thad i bought the bike from could of cut them off like the rear lights :angryfire ) anyone.. if ya dont know what the hell im talking about ill get a pic posted sometime soon.. or else ill just say screw it and go on with my life haha..

haha this is funny. wish i can better help, but since i don't know ur bike, i can't.

get some bungy cord with hooks on either sides. actually get two (better safe than sorry). if it's a helmet with a visor, stick them through the visor location, through the hole for your head, and around any part of the bike that you think will hold it safely and away from harm.

ill take a pic of the helmet lock system and post it... maybe then i can get some help... and i dont want to "jerry-rig" it.. if it comes to that ill just carry it.. BUT i do want to try to figure out the lock thing

THANKS... a$$.... ;) ... well i know that.. but isnt there a way to make it solid.. i mean so it doesnt hit the tire if ya walk by .. or so someone walking by doesnt hit the helmet into the body and scratch the helmet. anyway.. i think ill head to the dealer and ask them.. i'll hide my shame.. lol.... dangit...

ohh and the steps are great... i was sitting here at work laughing and my supervisor asked what was wrong.. (since we are not supposed to be on the internet :D)

:grinyes: didnt mean to be an ass only playing hmm well to make it solid ill bet that lil bar by the peg has something to do with it... i dunno i just hang mine there like so but im lazy like that lemme know if you find out how to hang it correctly

haha.. didnt mean to come off like i was mad... i would of said the same thing... :)... no problem.. ill check it out when i get off work on thursday..since i work untill they close every other day

Probably hook the buckle to the "tie down" and thread the chin strap thru till taunt...I don't know.
