Mickey Scooter Helmet, Revisited...

Post by ScooterGuyRick »

Well, I thought I would update on my project to make Mickey Mouse ears for my scooter helmet. All in all, not a bad piece of work. It took a little planning out, but I think I've come up with a solution that works. Mind you, it's not great for long-term riding or riding in heavy winds, but, for what it is, it's cute and I got some good reactions from passers-by.

Helmet Ears

Oh cute! I need to come up with some Bunny ears for my helmet!!! Shouldn't be hard to figure out how to do that. Making them stand up would be the trick!

Are they glued to the helmet or just suction cupped on?

Pretty hilarious.

I didn't want anything permanent because of having to store the helmet in the compartment. The suction cups seemed to do the trick.
