Default hanging 2nd helmet - I know, dumb question!

I have no idea how to do this.
I think some of you fasten a 2nd helmet with a net to the rear seat.
Any other way of doing it? eg. using the straps of the helmet and fasten it to the side of the rear cowl or something like on an RR.

Thanks!
P.S. Pics would help too!

You have an rr? You take off the rear seat. (not sure if the anatomy is the same as on my f4i) And there should be a piece of the frame running across the front where the lock latches on. Follow that bar to either side and there will be some L shaped brackets comming off the bar and pointing inward (towards the latch). You put the metal chinstrap d-ring from your helmet on the L bracket. Put the seat back on and the helmet will be secure.

Don't worry, it took me a while to figure this out too.

Yea the owner's manual (if you have one) shows the "helmet lock" in pretty good detail. I've honestly never used it because if someone really wants your helmet, they'll just cut the strap! But that is the way most people carry their "spare" helmet.

Yeah, if someone is dumb enough to cut the helmet strap, I say let em' wear it. It'll never fit securely again (criminals are too stupid to get it repaired properly).

I just had both my helmets stolen and my gloves from my underground, LOCKED parking garage. Dumbass me had them resting on the mirrors like I do when I run in somewhere. I be more likely to use the locks now!
