Seems a lot of you store your helmet over one of your mirrors when stopped. Maybe a stupid question, but have you noticed any damage to the mirror/base doing this over time? Does it put your mirror out of adjustment?

Ehh it won't harm the mirror or base, sometimes it goes a little out of adjustment but it takes 1.72347 seconds to readjust.

Been doing it for more than 6 years with the current bike with no ill effects.

Wrecked mine doing this but maybe that speaks more to my helmet than the mirrors.

I hung my helmet on the mirror once and yes it did put it out of adjustment a significant amount. Like the total noob that I am I didn't remember to check until I was merging into traffic. Holy crap that was scary. Never again for me

Done it forever & a day without any ill effects , if your careful putting it on or taking it off you will never knock the mirror out of adjustment :thumbup:.. Also if you look carefully at it the bars & grips are actually supporting the helmet , the mirror just stops it from rolling off

Won't do any damage but have seen more than one helmet get bumped by somebody passing by and it falling to the ground. I don't do it for that reason.
