those are the helmet hooks. I always thought that when I see people doing that they looked strange. Bungeed to the rear seat looks better, and probably safer, IMHO.

 

How do you use them though? Do you stick the strap in there and strap it in? Do you just stick the rings of the strap through there? And then put the seat back on and stuff? I've never done it, and I don't have a manual to read and look at to see how it's done.

 

This should clear things up a bit











The Manual says not to but theres really no discomfort with it there

 

Hey schira f4i, thanks for posting those pics.

 

Yep. I have an 01' so the helmet is up on the "back seat". I am thinking of putting it on my back pack.. but it seems so much easier to just drive with it up there.. I'll try it out tonight.

 

Thanks Schira for taking pictures, you're the best! lol.

 

I wouldnt dare ride around with one on the banana seat. The 2 seat models seem to have no problem....With the new seat I would stick with bungie nets making sure that the paint ain't rubbin.

 

great post!! I've been trying like hell to figure this out!

 

I just bought my F4i used this year and the user before me must of used the hooks alot, the paint is worn out where the helmet hits. I was looking to get a net to put it on the back seat but cant find any. does anyone have a net? or know where i could get one at?

Thanks

 

wow thanks for those pictures i was still so confused on how to use the holders.
