I bought these:

http://shop.vendio.com/vstreet/item/.../?s=1223548510#

Never used them though was a waste of money for me, I don't commute on the bike , so I just stop at restaurants and coffee shops and what not so I barely feel the need to lock my helmet, many times bike is at my site, sometime I take my helmet in with me, at biker stops like rock store and Neptunes net, I just hang it on the bar everyone leaves their helmets there.
Just my 2 cents.

I set my helmet on my dash and lock it to the throttle cables with a small padlock. I view it as more a way to keep honest people honest.

Have one that mounts to the rear saddlebag crash bar. Use it a lot as I'm as much concerned with the helmet falling off the bike on to the pavement as I am with theft.

Lock or no lock, if anyone wants your helmet that bad, they'll cut the chin strap, making it all but useless for you and them. I've seen riders with helmets that run well in excess of $400.00 for custom paint job and I would never leave something like that on a bike, too much of a temptation. If I am somewhere that I actually worry about it, I lock it in my saddlebag. Otherwise I carry it around or leave it on the bike somewhere.

That's about what I use, except mine's a master lock. I never thought I'd find a good use for a gun luck other than as a back up impact weapon, until I got the bright idea to lock my helmet with it!

I've got the Kury helmet locks that attach to the ISO grips.

I just use a cable and a padlock. Had it laying around my garage - probably a bicycle lock or something.
