Where do you hang helmet on k1600 b when bags full

captaindon · Mar 30, 2019

I have a new 2019 bmwk1600B and love it. Just wondered where you like to place your helmet when parked if bags are full. I am hanging it on the right rear view mirror but not sure it will support it over time.. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I seriously doubt the mirror will collapse due to the weight of a helmet. However, it is very possible to damage a helmet liner stuck on a mirror. On all of my bikes I hang the helmet on the right side footpeg. I usually just put it there but can cable lock it if I sense that I need to.

I have been using a devise called a Helmet hook that goes on the handlebar between the left grip and the bar end weight. I have them on my R90 and my R1100 available from Amazon.

Lidlok is the way to go
Installed on my 1200gs, 1600gt and 1200RT
Replaces bar ends, I installed 2 on RT so pillion has a lock also

LIDLOX sorry for mistake

lidlock

I agree. I put the Lidlox on my 2018 K1600GTL and they work very well when we have not other option. It is a small price for a little peace of mind when not wanting to drag your helmet around with you.

I don't have your bike but a coated, combination bicycle lock through the pillion's right grab handle, works on both my bikes. Run the cable through the helmet, out the visor, lock it and then leave the helmet on either the seat or on the pannier.

If I'm only leaving the bike for a few moments (and within sight), like Paul, I use the foot peg.
