It started with one helmet. Then came one for your pillion, a lighter lid for summer and an old one you can't quite bring yourself to bin. They sit on a shelf, on the toolbox and on the seat of the bike, and before every ride you hunt for the right one. That's usually when you start looking for a proper way to store motorcycle helmets.
With a single helmet, a wall bracket does the job, as we covered in a wall-mounted helmet holder for a narrow garage. This piece is about the garage with several helmets, each with its own gloves, balaclava and intercom. You're no longer after one spot, but a layout that keeps the lot together.
A helmet cabinet for two riders
Your pillion's helmet tends to end up wherever there's a gap. It only comes out every few weeks, so it gathers dust and the gloves that go with it vanish into a box somewhere. When you finally ride out together, the first ten minutes go on searching.
A cabinet gives every helmet a fixed place in one part of the garage. Yours sits next to your pillion's, with gloves and balaclavas beside them rather than in another corner. You head out together and take everything from one wall.
Add to it when you need to
A helmet collection rarely stops at two. Next year there'll be a track lid, or your child will start joining you on short rides. Whatever you set up now should have room for what comes later.
RIDESPINE furniture is built from aluminium profiles, so the helmet cabinet can sit in line with a wheel and pannier rack or a workbench. When more helmets arrive, you add another module rather than starting again. The floor stays clear for the bike, and every helmet has its place from the first day of the season.
