Re: Helmet hooks

["Lance LaCerte, Psy.D." <LACPSYD@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

I have to admit to lack of experience with the 'hooks'.  The only reason I
know that they are supposed to be helmet hooks, is because I happened to run
into the Rocky Mountain Regional representative for Triumph the day I picked
up my ST.  He pointed them out to me, but I have never used them   ( I wear
an Arai Quantum e, so I'm sure it won't fit any better than your Shoei or
Arai)------ looks like one of the few examples of a poor design piece on
this bike (it is keeping good company with the 'hand hold' on the tail
section which one is supposed to grab to put the bike on the center
stand --- hence my ordering the fold out handle even though I don't have the
hard luggage).

Later,  Lance
