That's awesome Alan, I went through a bunch of schematics looking for that Warrior part for my Raider and just couldn't find it. The Raider has a 15" cable that you have to loop through the helmet then loop one or both ends on a hook under the seat. A big PITA. I want to try and mod that part on to the Raider. Thanks.
I put a second one under the seat so I can lock 2 helmets on the bike, one on either side of the bike, been using it like that now for about 18 months and had no problems from heat from the exhaust.....
I missed it earlier today when I looked at the disassembled view on-line, so I know exactly how you feel. Its shown as Item #22 in the disassembled view drawing in Post #3. Its installed under the rider seat behind the (Item #15) fender stay bolt (Item #17). Whew.
I was in the same spot mentally, it took months before I drilled the two little holes. I must have layed-it-out a dozen times and tested half-a-dozen backing plates to be sure the metal fender wouldn't be damaged over time. I even did a layout in tape to be sure it looked level and 'stock' before deciding on where to mount it. I dragged my feet. And every time I'd go on the road a couple weeks the helmet was always a hassle. I'm glad I did this mod. No matter which seat I have on the bike, and no matter how much luggage I pile-up, I can stop at a restaurant and lock my helmet. My Kuryakyn luggage has combination-locks with extendable cables. I don't worry going into a restaurant for lunch!
I don't know about other members, but I had a problem when fitting a mustang Solo seat to my 06'- it just wont lock when i have a helmet on the lock.... granted i haven't spent any time addressing the issue, so it just might be shaving down the rubber posts a bit.
I just made my own out of a scrap piece from taking stuff off my bike. It has a hook end and I just bent it and put it under my left bolt instead of the right one. That way the pipes don't heat up my helmet. If I remember I'll post a pictures in the morning when I get home. \m/
