Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by prechermike on 03/22/10 at 11:54:13 I have the stock lock on my bike, but it is usually under the saddlebags. It depends on where I am, but sometimes I leave the helment on the bike and sometimes I take it in and ask someone (receptionist, whoever) to watch it for me. |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by jabman on 03/22/10 at 12:01:16 i use a pacsafe lid safe its basically a nylon sack with a soft inside and a high tensile steel mesh inside that the bag has a cable drawstring with a loop that you put round some part of the bike and padlock to itself so the bag cannot be opened or removed http://www.4-motorcycles.co.uk/4motor/index_files/LidSafeCutaway.gif |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by babyhog on 03/22/10 at 12:06:16 All this talk about locks, I guess I should think about getting another one. I have only used the "stock" lock on mine once, while visiting someone at a hospital.... But now it is under my saddlebag. I usually just leave the helmet over my backrest, but I don't usually leave it very long. (restaurant, grocery store, etc) Not sure what I'd do if I needed to leave it for an extended period, out of sight, where I was afraid it might get lifted... Guess I'd have to carry it.... but yea, a lock is a better idea. |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by Serowbot on 03/22/10 at 12:20:43 I never lock mine,... just hang it on the bike... If they need one that bad, and want to risk the asskicking if I see them... they can have it,.. Plus,.. if you lock it,.. they can just cut the strap, and sew another on later... ... but, it's gotta' be real bad Ju-Ju to rely on the protection of a stolen piece of safety equipment... :-?... |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by verslagen1 on 03/22/10 at 12:22:10 I use a simple luggage lock like everyone uses as a mileage minder. The lock won't slip over the end of the levers. True, it's not very secure. But usually nobody messes with a bikers helmet. |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by Stimpy on 03/22/10 at 12:31:58 I normally use the bikes standard helm lock, it works fine as long as you keep it oiled and with a bit of skill you can fit 2 helms in it. Other times (i.e. overnights somewhere) I place the helm(s) on the backrest and use a long sturdy cable lock to pass it through the chin of the full face helm(s) as well as through the rear wheel this way immobilizing everything. A really expensive helm ($250-600) I would take with me, but I don't think anyone in the forum spends 500 on a helm ;D http://www.victorystore.com/realtor/accessories/master_lock/images/cable_lock.jpg |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by spacepirates on 03/22/10 at 15:06:37 I use a master lock that opens with a key. I just put my helmet on the backrest and lock the rings to the luggage rack with the lock. smaller than a bike/gun lock and it works pretty well. |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by marine5317 on 03/22/10 at 17:24:07 I got a gun lock at Wally- World for $4.95 and set the helmet on the right mirror and lock it to the handle bar. works fine. Ride Safe Marine 5317 |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by savage_sax on 03/22/10 at 17:32:46 I drilled a hole in the backrest frame just under the the pad and bolted an eye bolt through the hole. I sit the helmet on the backrest and use a small lock through the D-Ring of the helmet strap and the eye bolt. ;) |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by Serowbot on 03/22/10 at 17:35:09 gun lock through the chin bar sounds best to me,... at least they can't just cut the strap.... |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by Skid Mark on 03/22/10 at 18:05:58 Another good reason to use a full face helmet. I use a 3/4 helmet. I usually carry it with me as it's only a dull knife away from being stole. I wish I could get past the claustraphobic feeling I get when I try one on. |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by Biddie on 03/22/10 at 22:27:57 Go to your sheriff's department and ask for a gun lock. They'll give you one free of charge. Use those taxes you pay. |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by Phelonius on 03/23/10 at 09:19:37 I just use a helmet that has a growth of some kind on the leather at the back of the neck. No one will steal it. Phelonius |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by cursal on 03/23/10 at 09:30:58 I use a Kryptonite Ulock https://www.kryptonitelock.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?cid=1001&scid=1000&pid=1203 I wear a full face and just run it through the face and the sissybar. When I'm done I toss the lock back in the saddle bag. only works for one helmet though.... |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 03/23/10 at 09:39:26 I have a problem w/ the stock lock location. It seems to hold the helmet in a near perfect urinal/trashcan position, so I prefer the gun lock on the chin protection somewhere on the risers. It will sit on the tank then. |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by babyhog on 03/24/10 at 08:28:29 I have one of these coming... free! for taking a survey. You insert your vehicle key and this lock "learns" your key! But so far, they are mostly doing truck keys, some cars... but no motorcycles. On my survey, it asked for recommendations... I recommended that they make them to match motorcycle ignition keys! Here is their website http://www.stratteclock.com/applications.php Don't know about the quality until I get it, but it looks nifty... http://www.ukeylock.com/images/cablelock.png |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by jef.savage on 05/15/10 at 19:34:31 This was posted in Intruder Alert. The stock helmet lock was relocated to the sissy bar. http://www.piratepathy.com/desertrat/bike-nascar%200510/bike5.jpg |

Title: Re: helemt locks you use??? Post by Educatedredneck on 05/15/10 at 22:32:32 I spent a small fortune on my full face lid, and I do not want anyone messing with it, so I carry it with me. I like the idea of the helmet lock on the top of the sissy bar. |

Neat idea, except my lock fell off while on the road,and has not been seen again. If I had one, I might mount it on the sissy bar, but down near the bottom, so I could lock it easily with the helmet over the bar. |

Yeah a cable bicycle lock works good for locking up all your gear, just be careful where it hangs.. I locked up my helmet to my bike once hanging down the exhaust side.. It left a nice little melted spot on my helmet. |
