owwwerrrrr misses


I will be traveling a few times over the next year and taking my helmet as hand luggage. I don't have anything apart from a small thin helmet bag that comes with the helmet. As i a good helmet bag would be handy for storage as well as traveling what do people recommend.

or pretty much a muchness.

Just thought I would ask prior to buying

I picked up a hard shell one for £20 off ebay a couple of years back, fine for on the plane on short trips. biketec branded I think...nothing fancy but does the job

Do you want a soft or hard bag to put your helmet in?

Arai did a soft one a few years back, I use it for my Bell track helmet that goes into my muckle kit bag.

I would like something that I can squeeze into Street glade panniers. YES Harley. going to be a huge change is riding for the trip but if i'm doing the US tour I have to try one out. Only bikes i've ridden is a 600 Fazer, Speed triple, blade and H2. and a few test sports bikes.

Can the hardcase which looks ideal be flattened a bit. and is it one size fits all?

I want to be self sufficient so able to put my gear in the panniers and i'm done

Full face helmets dont fit in those side panniers...in the top box only

the hard bag does not fold flat, so you will need one of those soft helmet bags ....demon tweeks have a range

I did a couple of weeks on an Indian across USA earlier this year and the top box easily took 2 full face, I just used the covers that came with the helmets originally

Sorry I mean the bags to squeeze in not helmets. So as long as the hardcase folds a bit smaller then great
