If you're just looking for another way to secure your helmet and don't necessarily need the trunk space, check out Helmet Guardian. It bolts on to the rear license plate bracket with secure keyed bolts. Fits nicely between the bags.

Yes, I have one on mine. I actually had originally installed it on my ST1300 and took it off when I traded it about 12 years ago. I miraculously remembered where I left it in the garage and installed it on the CTX. It works great -- the lock loops are easy to access for unlocking and snapping shut, and it holds two helmets off the ground, away from hot exhausts and away from each other. About 8,000 times more convenient than the under-seat cable hooking ridiculousness.Do you have one your CTX? If so how is it working out for you? Any issues with it?

Here you can see how unobtrusive it is:

They've actually been doing this for awhile in several different models. I don't know if any other manufacturer does it, but I can't believe there hasn't been a massive backlash against it. General consensus seems to be it's not one of Honda's better ideas.You nailed it when you called the under seat helmet security cable scheme ridiculous. Not sure what they were thinking. Do they have firing squads for failed engineering solutions in Japan? I need to get a back rest for the Mrs. anyway, so might as well go with the rear trunk.
Thanks!
It would be more functional, but her arse would shore look fat.... (Edit: Not mispelled, that's howz we tawk in Bama)<clip> IMO, I wish the side cases were as functional as the top case.
And that's called a Honda F6B.It would be more functional, but her arse would shore look fat...
