I have an Arai helmet and use a coiled combination lock (from Target) that I attached to my luggage carrier behind the passenger backrest. It's long enough to put through 2 helmets.

 

My prior bike, a metric, had a helmet lock. I don't know why HD does put them on their bikes. When I first got my HD I was looking all over the bike b/c I thought it probably had one.

 

I use a really small steel cable lock that I purchased at one of the bike shows.Wassold as a jacket lock which I needed on those days when you didn't want to haul your jacket around but wanted to leave it on the bike...( before I got a bagger ).. The ones on the internet seem too large. Look for them at the next show, they fit in your front pocket since their so small. Now I just clip the helmet to the tour rack and leave it on the passenger seat.

 

Not really an effective arguement.You mayhave a false sense of security. Just some friendly advise ... Remember ...Punks drive bikes too...and not only bikers attend bike rallies.Helmets (jackets, bandanas, glasses, goggles ... what ever happens not be be locked down)gomissing atrallies ... often! Perhaps you've been lucky so far ... It's always wise tolock up what you can't afford to lose!!!

 

I think it's a very wise move!!

 

You are crazy to think things won't get stolen at bike rallies bikers bars or anywhere else. We used to get stuff stolen in the locker room at the Police Department or out of unlocked Police cars on calls. Don't be dumb. If you want to keep it, lock it up.

 

I would really like to believe that no one would bother my helmet, experience has taught me something different. This company had a couple options.

I bought a couple of the universdal helmet locks from the MoCo that mount right on the crash bar. I put them right above the mounts for the pegs. They are chrome so they really aren't that noticeable on the bar. Come in handy if you want to lock your leathers in the tourpak or saddle bags and don't want to carry the lids around.

 

I have a nice lock on my RK. It bolted to the frame on the left side front downtube. Works great. It aint the cost of the helmet, it's not being able to ride home ( at least not in NJ )

 

99% of the time I put mine over the brake pedal so that it's out of sight, the other 1% it's locked in a saddlebag.
