I was going through the owners manual for my 08 and inventorying the items and there appears to an extra item. I have this extra cable, looks like something in a figure 8 and crimp together in the middle. Maybe it's for using a helmet and hook it on the place under the passenger seat. I'd try to take a picture and post it here but I have no idea how.please let me know. Jeremy |

Is this how it should hang from the hook and cable?

Awesome, thanks. Does seem like the cable could scratch the tail sides. I did try it without the cable and the D-ring did fit on the hook, but it was tight. Curious what others do to secure the helmet to the bike and not have to carry it around. Thanks |

I hook D ring right to that hook, dont use the extra cable. There isnt a lot of wiggle room, but Id rather do that than risk that cable scratching the plastic |

Okay, thanks....I also found a cool multi tool from Walmart that will fit into the tool pouch. |

DONT hang it on the clutch side if you still have the drip tube that exits the rear footpeg....that was a surprise |

Hmm, never saw this with my 2008, don't have with my 2009. I never even realized we had a helmet lock until about a month ago, when I decided to find a place to use as a lock and found the tab. Doh!! lol |

Should have been in EVERY blue-bag toolkit starting with the XB's in 2003. |

Hybrid, didn't know anything about the drip tube, but will take a look for it later when I get home. How many people leave there jacket with the bike too. I'm inclined to do it instead of carrying my heavy leather jacket around. Thanks |
