I bought a red 1998 Superhawk with very few miles recently. I love it so far. I have not made a long trip yet, but I'll fix that soon enough. The few minor annoyances I have with the bike are tank capacity, fuel economy, low windscreen that allows small debis to pelt my face, and a lack of an easliy accessible helmet lock. I did some searching on the internet for helmet locks and discovered the following item. So far, this one looks the most promising to me.

pipes are in the way....cans get hot, wouldn't want my helmet touching those bad boys....

 

In addition to the exhaust heat melting styrofoam in the helmet (which melts REALLY easy) I would think that SH's plastic fender/plate holder is way to flimsy to support the weight of a helmet. Also those type of helmet locks hold the helmet by the strap. Around my area theives just cut the strap and sew on another. I would suggest you dish out $10 for a cable type helmet lock and lock the helmet to your rear wheel. Theft deterrent for the helmet as well as your bike.

Or you can just do what I do...............................take the helmet with you, I don't trust anyone even mother nature.

 

+1 take it with you.

i wouldnt trust my bluetooth helmet to mother nature or anything that came from a mother =p

 

+2 my lid goes with me where ever I go. Its too expensive to go missing.

 

Whoa! Talk about a blast from the past!
