Never seen any rubbing from it on the paint, and I have carried a helmet like that quite often.

I have NEVER seen any helmet secured like this fall off. I've got a bunch of buddies that have all carried a spare helmet the same way and none of them have ever had one fall either.

But experience is the best remedy, strap your lid on there and try pulling it off. just don't pull the bike over...LOL

Helmet is hooked up UNDER the passenger seat.
D ring secured on the FRONT RIGHT hook underneath the passenger seat and then the passenger seat slid back and locked into place. VERY SECURE.

 

Hate to ask, but why are you guys so concerned about having an extra helmet. Johnnyh

 

my guess is they think they may pick up some curb squirrel lol

 

Easy to pickup chics on a bike!!

 

Actually I can't stand tyrebiters,Curb squirells or whatever else you wanna call them, but I have 2 boys from a previous marriage that my wife and I go pick up every other weekend at their moms house and we love to take the bikes. We needed a safe way to transport the kids's helmets with us and after asking around, this was the best way I could find.

 

I just wanted to know a safe way to transport a spare helmet without using a backpack. And for the occasional passenger. It's nice to have a passenger on the back, but it's even better if you can give them a lid.

 

Thanks! ill try this as well!
