Added a Helmet Guardian ($44) at cycle gadgets Clicky
but -- didn't use the tag mount -- mounted to OHFJR's rack.
Step 1 Re-Key to use the FJR ignition key -- search, and you'll find Fred H. post on how to re-key the cylinders to work with your FJR ignition key (took about 10 minutes -- one caution -- the locking retainer has a tendency to jump out when you remove the cyliner! very difficult to find in a messy garage)
Step 2 -- use a piece of 1" angle (i used 1/8" thick aluminum, steel would work also) about 8.75" in length.
Match drill to both racks.
Step 3 -- Bolt on! (of course -- I had to irridite and paint first)
Bracket:
Close up of the mounting hardware (6M 25mm length socket head cap screw from underneath through the bracket - rack, and givi mount) 1/4-20 to mount the Helmet Guardian to the bracket)
Rear View: (note -- no problem with getting near the hot exhaust)
Side view: (note: no problem with the helmet touching the dirty rear fender or tire -- just hangs there in free space)
