Bandit XX Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 [attachmentid=3808]I can't be the only one with this problem. you have to set your helmet down to unlatch your seat to use helmet lock well I came up with a 30 min. fix I found a small spring and mouted it to the under side of my seat so it works like the spring on your car hood. This is so simple I am sure someone else as done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom of my stocker didn't have anything like that! :icon_think: Thats another useless thing Honda puts on the bikes, The tool pouch is another.

How are you going to help the stranded Hardly-Ableson and Buell riders if you don't have your tool-kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I help harley riders by giving them a business card to a honda dealership and allow them to use my cell to call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I can find a way/place to put the seat so the corners of the vinyl don't get tattered after repeatedly leaning the seat on the ground against the bike!..

Dano Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Is it set in place with a washer and screw? What the weather like in your part of Alaska? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit XX Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 [attachmentid=3823] Is it set in place with a washer and screw? What the weather like in your part of Alaska? What I did was took a pair of needle nose pliers and at the base of the spring I made the loop smaller and it is held in place with a small pan head screw. As for the weather I am still riding but not much longer it is 45F. today and raining getting down around 32F. at night.I just installed Dual Star hand warmers they work great I am going to keep riding until it starts to snow any day now.

Para045 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I just turn the key, the seat unlatches and I grab it with my left hand then take my helmet off my head with my right hand - works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
