What is the best method of transporting a spare helmet

[Simoncrp]

Can anyone advise the best way of carrying round a spare helmet? I will sometimes take one of my kids on the back of my bike but then take their helmet back home with me. I do this by putting my arm through the helmet. But I don't feel safe as I dread to think what it would do to my arm if I had an accident.
So I looked online for an elasticated cargo net but I can't see where I would strap it down to, as there are no pillion handles on the MT07.
Any solutions? (I don't have a top box.) Can it be fixed under the rear seat easily?

Could you not just use a bungee cord? Failing that, under the pillion seat there are fabric loops which you can use to fix stuff too. Also, in the pack that comes with the bike, there's a little wire with two loops at the end. This is designed to be used to secure a helmet to the bike (when stationary I assume) by looping it through the screwdriver bit attached to the underside of the seat. Take it off and have a look

There are quite a few places to hook around under the passenger seat - the cargo net hooks will reach the frame of the bike, also the passenger footpeg has a very suitable place to hook onto and the net reaches that. I have strapped a lid on the back of mine a few times, doing exactly what you do.

I use this cargo net to carry a pillion helmet and attach it to the loops under the pillion seat.

Under the seat there should be a cable you put ya lid on it, the two ends of the cable have a loop that you put we're you screwdriver is

Did you buy the large one? Is it the correct size for a helmet on the MT07?

This is for locking a helmet on a stationary bike. I wouldn't trust that for carrying one on the move. It would also stick out, could hit something.

Sorry I linked the wrong one, I bought the small and its the perfect size for the bike and holds the helmet tight.

Damn! Already ordered the large one.

From reading the comments people say the large is just big enough to hold a full face lid so maybe I was sent a large by mistake lol, if it is slightly too big you can move the hooks to make it more secure.

Won't do any harm, you can wrap them around things to make them tight. They're pretty adaptable.
