Default carrying an extra helmet

hey guys,

considering i'm young, good looking, and I ride a badass dyna superglide its inevitable that some fine young thing is going to want a ride, which i will be more than happy to oblige. question is, do u guys have any suggestions for carrying an extra helmet on the bike. I only have full face helmets and i'm not really partial to luggage racks and the like.....so far the best i can come up with is lace the chinstrap of the helmet through the grabstrap on the seat like i used to do on my honda shadow but i know i will end up scratching the bike or busting a turn signal or something.........what do you guys think

There is a bungee cord net that you can use. Like this one

When I give my wife and children rides I snap on a small quick release backrest.
The extra full-face helmet slides right over it and the helmet strap fits under the backrest.
Works out perfectly.

Get a small backrest, place the helmet on top of the backrest,and loop the chinstrapunder.

Seal the deal with one of those hot young ladies then she can wear the helmet while she is stapped to you.

glad to see your thinking ahead for a possible female encounter.

my 2 cents - full faced helmets should never be worn on a harley.

Extremely bad advice for those of us who give children rides.
I use very expensive full-face helmets for my 3 children, because I've been there.
My entire face has been torn off in bike crashes, not just teeth, face from ear to ear and my left eye.

I agree with you, but I would put a skid-lid strapped to the front forks just below the light. Better yet abolish the helmet laws nation wide and guess what Badda-boom Badda-bing problem solved!!! Listen closley, I don't want to survive an accident if I have to have someone else wipe my butt or feed me to survive while my face is still intact? I don't think so, Just my 2 cents,Dave...to quote the "Nature Boy" (you my not like it, but you better learn to love it).
