Effervescent Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I have an yella 1100S with systemcases. When I try to attach my Lidlocks to my yella Arai Quantum 2 they are rather loose and the helmet bats all around. What am I doing wrong? They appear to be held tightly on their site. Any tips? -Eff Link to comment
PLW Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 How tightly your helmet is attached to the sidecase is directly related to the length of the helmet strap. Short strap = tight against the bag [and more difficult to install], long strap = loose helmet, but much easier to get your hand under to get on and off the bag. Link to comment

Dshel Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I have to admit to having purchased 2 of these helmet locks and have only used them once or twice - they're not easy to use at all - on paper it looks great but reality is much different. I ended up getting a GIVI top case and my helmet fits nicely in there... They only work with helmets with D rings, Ok for my ARAI, but not my Concept. Link to comment

tomk99r11 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Don't ride the bike with the helmets in the locks instead of on your head!!!!! Link to comment
Effervescent Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hmm...seems my L snd XL Arai's straps are too long. No trick I am missing. Guess I'll saddle up and see how much it wiggles under way. -Eff Link to comment
