    Helmet stick-on accessories?

    I want to buy a pair of stick-on cat ears for the outside of a helmet. Xmas present for my active luggage...

    I have found a stick-on cat:

    but to me that looks like it's going to make the helmet much more affected by wind, don't you think?

    Anyway, anyone know if you can get stick on cat (or similar) ears anywhere?

    Much appreciated!

    That's pretty cool!! I was thinking of getting a pair of devil horns for my helmet as a joke and they'd suit it, or antlers at Xmas time, so I'm interested to hear what people think of the safety aspects and drag effect of stuck on things. I think Motomart here in Wellytown had some things like that, but I never saw a cat.

    Re: being affected by wind, do you intend to ride around town or open the open road wearing said ears?

    Cajun used to tape a Santa hat to his helmet years ago and it never came off in the 20min ride to town on the open road.

    Full road use, at SV650 fully loaded two up speeds.

    So good to 160 at least.

    I don't want them blowing off - or the active luggage needing neck massage before she stops complaining of headache at the end of the day...

    I seem to remember Motomail had smaller stick-on ears.

    There were a pair of antlers on someones lid, last x-mas.
    Warehouse??

    I wouldn't think the ears would be big enough to get enough wind drag to give her a sore neck or anything.

    On a side note, has anyone seen those ponytails you can stick just inside the bottom of your helmet? You can get really long ones so it's obvious that a girl's riding the bike

    can you get stick on tits to make it more obvious?

    If there becomes a HUGE demand for stick on tits so you guys can stick them on your gear, I'm happy to be the model.

    They don't call me "aDDle" for nothing

    The comment about drag referred to the stick on cat, not the ears.

    Are they available in dreadlocks?

    My mohawk has done about 20,000k's (2 x Southern X, 3 x GC's) in all weathers without coming off. Good for a laugh especially at garages or around jap tourists etc...

    Saw someone riding a yellow SV on the NW motorway the other day (100k+) with mouse ears on their helmet. There seemed to be no danger of them coming off. They did flap a bit - I don't think drag would be an issue but i wondered about noise.

    Gave me a good giggle anyway.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
