Default C90T/SE Pet peeves

I have all sorts of musings and questions about my new (1 wk) C90SE. There seems to be little activity on this forum lately. Maybe now is a good time to ask a few questions and maybe regenerate a little more interest...

One thing I noticed last year on the 2007 (and probably 06 and before) and that I see wasn't fixed for 2008, is the location for the helmet lock. With the bags installed on these bikes the lock is hidden and not useable. Why on earth would Suzuki place it there? Or if they wanted in there on the bare-bones C90, why didn't they relocate it on the dressed bikes?

What do you guys do with your helmet(s) when you are off your bike? The stock passenger backrest is wider than most - helmet will fit over it but its tight and I'm afraid that the covering on the backrest will wear from using it regularly as a hat rack.

Could use the mirrors I suppose but never liked doing that. I've been putting my helmet on the pillion and wrapping the strap around the backrest support to keep it there.

Has anybody added after-market helmet locks? What is best - the handlebar type? the ones that clamp to the engine guard or frame? something else?

Anyone else have any "pet peeves" about their C90?
