Good afternoon all. On my Interstate I have two helmet holders under the rear trunk, operated by the ignition key. I figured they must be OEM as the key unlocks them. After using it on a ride Sunday I guess I didn't close it completely and lost the metal T shaped piece that goes through the helmet D ring. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement? I didn't see it in the parts diagrams at HDL. Thanks as always!

Both my Bell helmets don't really need that T-shaped piece you speak of. With a little finagalin the square metal pieces on the helmet strap fits where the end of that t would normally go. AND the helmet is still locked thataway. RIDE SAFE. |

You can also go out and buy a cheap box/open end wrench, that the box end will fit through your helmet D ring, and open end wont, and then into the helmet holder. As already mentioned, it is an aftermarket item. GW has nice ones of a motorcycle. It is really nice having those shinny chrome things there dangling in the sun. Makes you more noticeable. http://wingstuff.com/products/2403-chrome-helmet-holder-set-made-in-usa?from_search=1 |

Not sure, but I think he's talking about the two helmet holders under the I/S trunk.  If so, those are OME. I've never seen an I/S without them unless they were removed.   |
