The easiest way to carry a second helmet on a Harley-Davidson is to put the helmet into the luggage carrier of a touring-style bike, where it’s safe.
Opinions about wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle vary. Some consider them one of the essentials bikers shouldn’t leave home without, others have no use for them, and some use them on occasion (every rider should be wearing a helmet). Whatever group you fall into, there are times when bikers may find themselves needing to carry a second helmet, or at least an unworn helmet, on their motorcycle. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are as varied as the different types of helmets available to bikers. The style of your Harley and the equipment it possesses make a difference in the options available to carry a second helmet.
The easiest way to carry a second helmet on a Harley-Davidson is to put the helmet into the luggage carrier of a touring-style bike. A helmet locked inside a pannier or trunk is hidden from view and the elements, safe from vandals, would-be thieves, passing rain showers, and harmful UV rays. If your Harley-Davidson already has luggage provisions, it’s the easiest method of carrying a spare helmet. Other safe methods require the use of additional equipment, extra steps, and could make the passenger seat unavailable. However, there are some easy ways to safely carry a second helmet on your non-touring equipped Harley-Davidson.
