    carrying extra helmet while riding

    is tying the helmet down on the rear seat the best way to carry a passenger helmet while riding?

    Where can I buy those bungee cargo nets?

    Thanks in advance

    I just attach mine to the helmet holder (located under the passenger seat) and it just sits flush up against the side of the bike, no matter what I do.

    Your rear seat should clip in on three different latches. 2 female near the front and one in the back. Put the D-ring of your helmet over the clutch side latch with visor facing the rear. Voila, no net needed

    different motorcycles use different helmet clip systems.

    exactly, and some are not safe to use while operating the motorcycle (meant to be used while parked). i use one of the bungee nets and strap the helmet to the 2up seat.

    You can always wear a backpack that can hold a helmet..
