Title: Helmet lock relocation
Post by T140V on 02/22/17 at 22:43:37

After relocating my turn signals due to saddle bag installation I wanted to make a helmet lock that was out of the way of heat or paint. That being said I chose the handle bars. I made one of these for my Triumph but the S40 bars are different. Here is a pic to start with. It looks like a handlebar weight.

Something locked up. To big of a pic. I'll try again. I place the d ring into the slot underneath then push it back in and the helmet hangs without touching the tank

I made them in my garage. It's all about customizing in a small way. :)

You could sell a few in the market place! I know I'd be interested.

I got a flexible, rubber coated loop lock for a gun. Goes around the handlebars and the chin guard.
The OEM setup is an invitation for some jakkass to dump a coke in my helmet.

I've never had that happen but I put my gloves in the helmet just in case. I figure it's better than just hanging it on the mirror. It keeps the honest people honest.

It's a modified Cessna 172B 180hp with a constant speed prop. It was either buy a pickup truck or that. Actually the plane was cheaper.
