Member Contributer vfr350 Posted July 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2014 Anyone carry a helmet in a topcase while riding? If so how'd you keep it from bouncing and getting marred? Any nifty adhesive pouches to put your phone in or a way to secure it in the case as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted July 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2014 I haven't done it, but I would think this might be a good idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfr350 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yeah if thats cushioned lined its a start, thanks. Now how to keep it from bouncing. Thought of a web bunging but rather not drill holes thru the case for anchors. The one downside to the Givi, few interior point to attach would be nice.

Member Contributer The mailman Posted July 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've carried a second helmet in my trunk with no issues. I do usually put an old towel in the bottom just to give it a bit of padding vs. bouncing on a hard surface. As far as my phone goes, I've always wanted my phone on my body. If I get tossed in a ditch, over an embankment, or off the side of a mountain, I want my phone NOW! - not after I'm able to crawl back up to a roadway and find my bike. I'm so OCD about this that my phone ALWAYS goes in the same jacket pocket so I don't have to think about where I put it this time while little stars are swirling around my head.

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted July 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have a GIVI E55 and it will fit two helmets side by side, but for traveling with one inside the case, I have a piece of 1/4 foam that covers the entire bottom of the case, I use a helmet bag and the case also has a strap that goes over the top of the helmet keeping it from jostling around.

Member Contributer vfrurknee Posted July 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have some old diapers, the real cloth ones with reinforced center. They work great for this and double as a polishing rag or face shield cleaner. And all the Givi trunks I have seen have a foam piece in the bottom, but it is not permanently fixed.
