Seeking a helmet lock for my 06 Sporty
I can't seem to find a helmet lock for my 06' 1200, whatever they sell in the market is for older model up to 03, anyone?

Harley has universal helmet lock, clamps onto the frame and will work on any harley. I got one last summer and it's been great, and was only about $20. If you go to harleys website its part number 45732-86.

I found that one a while ago but it said Fits all models (except '04-later XL models.)
Is that true?

I don't see any reason for it not working, it's a simple clamp-on lock, there's nothing special about it. just mount it on the frame tubing.

Thanks again, what year is yours? Where do you mount it? That helmet lock works on 7/8" to 1 1/4" tubing.

I am thinking about using a bicycle lock on mine. The kind that is 6 inches in height. I dont know if its going to work because the bike is in storage for the winter. Its a lot cheaper. Just my 2 cents.

You could always just get a padlock with a big enough locking bar to go through the d rings on your helmet and around a piece of your bikes frame, sissy bar, brake pedal, license plate frameetc.

RE: Seeking a helmet lock for my 06 Sporty
These are all good ideas, but just remember that nothing is 100% fool proof.
Just like the door locks on a house, cables/locks/etc. don't do anything more than to keep honest people honest.
If someone really wants your helmet no cable (or padlock) is going to deter them.
A 5" hand held bolt cutter only takes a few seconds to cut through whatever necessary to accomplish their goal.
