well i'll be damned! i have sat and bitched about the lack of a lid holder on my bike for years!
being bored at home (need to play with bike indicators actually!) i started reading the NC29 owners manual. in it spotted a section about helmet holder!
went out side with an old lid.. and blow me down it works!
did anyone else know about this?
i have always cursed the hooks for getting in the way of large items.

The nc30 has a similar arrangement, I think the original plastics on these bikes even have a sticker saying there is a helmet lock there?

They only work though with loop and strap style helmets, not with newer buckles.
