A bit of wind ... and the paint and helmet take a beating.

He won't thank you then ...

Those helmet hooks look great!

Remember the old lockable helmet catches like Honda used to have.
ie xl250 etc

Much like these

Or you could always buy one of these old Suzuki Across.

Repeal the helmet law and the problem is solved

I used to do that. Until some clown parked their bike to the right of mine ... as after he climbed off, he turned sideways and moved to the front of the bikes. The back pack he was wearing knocked the helmet (and mirror) to the ground.

It now goes in the top box or I carry it ...

Actually I lied earlier, I have put the lid on the rack before, several times, but never on the seat...and the CB had a helmet hook. All three occasions were short photo stops.

That KBC helmet on the CB did end up on the ground some time later so I gave it to local Volly Fire Brigade for their accident practice.
NB: It wasn't me that dropped it.

That hook is all good until it rains or some wanker decides to put his lunch wrapper in your helmet.
Some dickheads out there

I hang it by its strap from the mirror.

IF I leave it on the bike.

I've read that is not recommended. You are resting the weight of the helmet on a small area and that can compress the polystyrene lining over time. That's the same polystyrene that you need to cushion the impact for your head. Pre-compressed polystyrene doesn't work as well..

Having said that, I have used the GPS mount, but it is bigger. If the ground is clean though generally I'll put the helmet on the ground. It shouldn't fall off that.

If I get pulled over by a cop I'll be puting the helmet over the radar detector as fast as I can. But that's different.

Doubt it. Ive worked in a polystyrene injection moulding factory - the polystyrene in helmets is pretty high density, enough that the helmet's own weight won't be enough to do anything to the polystyrene.

I place mine in the table Im sitting at when I get off the bike. Seen too many fall from bikes, and I cant afford to buy a new helmet every few months!!
