Keeping the brain bucket accessible AND secure usually requires a trade off of one or the other. Not so in this case. My lid stays snugly against the seat back. It doesn't wobble or make noise at all. (My handcuffs rattled a bit though) That being said, deploying the helmet is as simple as pulling it off a hat rack. The velcro loops also allowed me a spot on the front of the head rest to secure a few motard patches. Rah.
