Helmet Lock Location R3R

[Phil68]

Just hang your helmet off your handlebar with an empty gun holster

This works nicely with Kuryakyn's Iso Grips: http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/g...YKn5kC1rFWgC5HiL8nnpwi36mHhHI0EuXIaApzb8P8HAQ

+1 on these bar end locks. I use them on my R3T and they work like a charm! Highly recommended!

I use one of these. Put the helmet over the sissy bar then lock through the sissy bar and helmet buckle.

Simple, inexpensive yet affective when needed.
Ordered me one.
Thanx for the tips, @mully95 & @Scuba Craig

I carry one of these: http://www.abus.com/eng/Mobile-Secu...ecurity/Locks/Special-Locks/Combiflex-Pro-202 and thread it through an immobile part of the bike and then through the viewport of my full-face helmet. Thieves happily slice the strap of a helmet, even though that makes it next to useless, at least a 2.5 mm thick wire requires some sort of wire cutter, won't do it with just a Leatherman. It's mostly to keep honest people honest though, but then again so are all locks.

From there one could go up; 8 mm http://www.abus.com/eng/Mobile-Security/Bike-Safety-and-Security/Locks/Special-Locks/Cobra + a good padlock could help secure a jacket too, easily long enough to thread through clothing (though the 202 I have works for that too, even though that's the most basic level of security you can get).

I supposed for serious protection one might thread one of these through the viewport and the frame instead but carrying one of these might get inconvenient: http://www.abus.com/eng/Mobile-Security/Quad-ATV-Snowmobil/Steel-O-Flex/Steel-O-Flex-950

I bought a sissy bar awhile back from someone on this forum with this set up on it. It's a universal fit so a crash bar ,handle bar senerio should work..

Yeah I wouldn't trust a lock that uses the helmet strap at all, like I said the miscreants will slice the strap.

Wouldn't the helmet be useless after that? Couldn't wear, sell, or trade for crack with a helmet that has a slashed strap.

Most everything we use for security is meant to keep folks honest and will not prevent some douche cannon from causing damage! Just my 2 cents . . .
