Default 08 600 RR - Mod 001: Helmet Locks

Hardly worth posting but hey its my first mod other than removing some stickers and reflectors. :S
I was annoyed with the $0.59 cent excuse for a helmet lock Honda gives us.
So, I cut a notch in each seat clip to allow the D-Ring to slip on with ease.




I ordered F&R stands, Protons, Rim tape, and OES Sliders/Spools. So thats what's next for me.
After that I want the Tripage integrated tail light and I'm thinking about a homemade FE.
Then I will probably do levers. I would love the Jardine RT pipe down the road too.

Definately going to be powercoating the Front and rear sets as well, my friend has a powdercoating machine.

He cut the tabs that hold the rear seat on. I just use the lager metal loop on my helemt and turn it so it slides over the same tab without cutting it.

"I see" says the blind man as he steps onto the freeway.

I do the turn sideways thing, but its still hard to fit two lids that way. i may try the cut. But wont it bend the tabs after a while?
