[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Helmet Holder

[jrhoyt0895]

The problem with putting a helmet over the mirror is that the mirror can 
damage the inner lining of the helmet.  If you're going to do this on a 
regular basis, I recommend you mount round mirrors.  At least it won't have 
corners that poke your comfort lining and possibly damage the layers 
underneath.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Helmet Holder

[jrhoyt0895]

I can't remember the last time I used a helmet lock, but I have used it to 
lock the D-ring on the strap to my motorcycle.  I figure that if anyone 
wants to cut the strap to steal my cheap smelly helmet and render it 
useless (unable to fasten), he can have it.  Usually, if I'm not going to 
wear or take my helmet indoors, I'll strap it to my motorcycle with a 
bungee net.  More often than not, I use my helmet lock as an anchoring 
point for a bungee net.

Here here! Where I live and work (and considering the age/style of my 
helmets) I just drop it over the mirror, unsecured. Actually I do that 
almost everywhere for short stops like lunch.
Would be cool if there was a 'D"-ring lock built into the handle bar or on 
the end of a grip, for those of us who hang it over the mirror.

*FACEPALM*

D-Ring... Well, I haven't used one since my last bike when I was 16. At 
that time, I lived in a town that had a population of 700, and no sketchy 
areas. Based on what Kyle said, personally, still thinking about the 
"Delete" and tidy up that fender a bit more.

Thanx guys!

My MSF course talked about helmet life but i can't recall the timeline
they gave.  I belive it also has to do with the foam breaking down
with age and not just the outer shell due to UV.

When you consider the fact that UV rays from sunlight affect just

makes sense that material exposed to it for any length of time will

Whether 4 or 5 years is the life-span, who knows?

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Helmet Speakers

[Mt.-n-Man Chia Bar]

These look like the ones that I use when I go skiing. The best part
about them is that they have an in line volume adjuster. It makes it
so that yo can have your Ipod or MP3 in a pocket and not have trouble
hearing when you slow down. Just the inline volume is worth the $20 as
I tried to replace mine when the wire broke and the cheapest I could
find was around $40.

hope this helps

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Helmet lights

[mhillard]

I don't think I like the look of these lights (they do look like
Eve ;-)), and have to think they do create some reverse glare at
night.  I opted for reflective decals on my helmet to increase
visibility at night.  Mine are black in color which almost disappear
on my black helmet during the day, but they really jump out when hit
with headlights at night.  They also apply to all sides of the helmet,
including the front of my full-face helmet.  Here is where I got them
from: http://www.reflectivedecals.com/, and they have several styles
and colors.

I had to do some "modification" to my HJC.  Helmet fit great but

nch of the Styrofoam.  A friend and fellow rider designs helmets for
