Containers, bags?

Wondering what the easiest way is to secure a helmet and jacket to a bike when out? Is there any special helmet bags/boxes?

Also is there any rucksacks that are designed to take a helmet plus a few other items?

Top box sounds the way. But :eek:

at the rack costs £80 for the xj900. Then you can buy the box for just £30, seems the wrong way round to me.

Ebay mate. There's loads of stuff on there. A Knox Six pack rucksack can take a helmet.

Thanks that rucksack looks ideal.

I can't even find cheap rack on eBay. Lots of cheap top boxes. But need a way to fit them on.

. I'm not sure whether the helmet will fit inside the bag, but there is a specially designed mesh to hold it externally.

is it held in place well? Or when walking will it keep smacking into you?

I doubt it has lockable hook thingys. But I'll have a look. Only has one key and it's old.

Don't mind that the bag can't be used when riding. It's more for securing helmet when going shopping, or popping down the pub or whatever.

Top box, I'm taking it you have to have the rack as well?

Anyone know any good part finder breakers yard websites for bikes. Maybe could get a rack off one of them.

I still haven't sorted anything out, but need to now.
I'm getting confused about f/division etc.

Will this fit my bike, how can I tell?
