    They look usable. But would be difficult to insert a 12 pack of beer bottles into the bag; with those dividers in place.

    This is a good find at Cyclemax. I have a set of similar I bought from ChrisCo a couple years ago. Great idea and product. I keep one in the right saddlebag, but not in the left... just because.

    Note - ChrisCo has apparently disappeared and their product along with 'em.

    $65 to keep stuff from falling out of the saddle bags and into the lid when opening?......thanks, but no thanks. I'll just keep an eye on the contents as I open the door, but to each their own.

    My main complaint is that my FF helmets don't fit.

    I can get my Shoei 1200 in the right bag, after some mild geometric intellectual masturbation.....

    Ya, I can get my FF Shoei Neotec in my bags, too. But, I seldom do. I carry one of those small cable gun locks, and run it thru the "D" rings on the helmet, and lock it to the passenger grab rail. Works great.

    I suggested using those cable gun locks about 2 years ago.
    They're free at most gun shows and usually accompany a gun purchase.

    Very handy for helmets - on and off the bike, for small children, and kinky SOs.

    I have a newer style modular, that does not have D rings, but the quick release style ratchet clips.

    I use a similar orange cable, found in motorcycle shops for disc break locks, and run it through the chin bar on the helmet to the bike's helmet lock device. Works great!!

    Hi Copper

    I have the same style ratcheting chin strap closure. I bought these to lock my helmet to the bike's helmet lock pin.

    Sorry I don't have a link to show you them but Google the name and I am sure you will find them.
