Hey Mick,  I was just looking at your signature.  When you went to school in Mass., were they teaching that phonetic (sorry, fonetik) spelling stuff?  I used to live in Woostah, btw.   ;)

Don't be hacking about that K0 of yours mate, it's worth more than the average K, but not as much as a "sandcast" (early 1969) K0.

There is no recommended procedure for carrying a spare helmet on a bike, the recommendations above (apart, perhaps Raul's elastic net thing)are all fraught with danger, so I just wouldn't do it unless I had a pannier or top box to securely carry it.

I don't like helmet locks anyway, I've know of pissed (drunk)Aussies using peoples helmets for urinals, ha ha!:)

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

   No, I was in school before all of that started. Glostah is just the way it sounds coming out of people's mouths around here.

OK sorry to scare you with thoughts of hacking a beauty, I promise not to cut into any metal.
I still might attach the crash bars with1/4" steel tabs bolted on unless I find something that fits better.  And the sissy bar, no fender drillling scouts honor.  Once done, I can sit the helmet there I s'pose.
I got the bike from a gent near Dallas this summer found via an internet contact.  Its not perfect but I love her.  pics are on ext hard drive so maybe later.  Or just come see and ride it yourself!
