Not sure where this belongs....
I often ride with a spare helmet.
Yet I also often have some luggage,
so I often use the helmet hanger to hold the spare lid.
This is less than ideal as it bumps my leg.
So after a little looking I came up with this mod..
I removed the right hand helmet hook.
Trimmed the flange about 3/8"
(this flange is to prevent the hook from turning)
Then reattached it to the "mystery" lug in the
rear subframe. I used a long 1/4-20 screw and
Nyloc nut. The lug is not threaded
I then trimmed the side cover a bit.
It is no more noticable than the old location.
But now the helmet hangs out of the way.
FYI I used the right side so it wouldn't block the seat lock.
NOTE:
It is not as close to the pipe as it appears..
