Reply #1 - 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.

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.

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... Huh

Reply #5 - 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.

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 Grin

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.

Reply #10 - 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.

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.
