Unlike bikergirl40 and Nilsa210, I have never heard anyone say that they had a helmet stolen but, if it makes you feel better why not lock it.

 

Unfortunately my Nolan helmet doesn't have any "D" ring so I have to take it with me or leave it unsecured. Wouldn't mind having a tour pack to put my helmet in. My luggage rack and my passenger backrest concern me as well. Too easy to remove from the docking setup. I believe the MOCO makes locks for the quick disconnect racks and back rests. Will have to look into that.

 

Just a reminder for you folks that live in places that it rains, don't hang your helmet so that it catches the rain like a bucket.

 

Cheapest and excellent helmet lock and what i do is go to the local Sheriff or Police department. Ask for a pistol lock. They have cables that are about 12 inches long and a pad lock on the end. Two keys so you can stash one somewhere on the bike or on a key ring. They are always giving these things out. They are fully insulated and coated with a plastic coating so no scratches.

Best part is they are free. I keep one on the bike all of the time when I have the tour pak full.

 

Had a DOT H-D helmet and a "novelty" both stolen in less than a month. The H-D helmet was stolen off my Sporty at an ABATE meeting. The novelty was taken off the seat of a buddy's Wide Glide I was riding for the day. (he had my Ultra) I was parked at my local stealer for a car/bike show... Now I use a gun cable on my Sporty and I lock up the tour pack if I'm on my Ultra...

 

Yeah, I have. They took mine but hers was locked on the bike (only big enough to fit one lid) and guess what... I get to do the happy dance with nice LEO that wanted to know why I wasn't wearing a helmet. I don't have a lock on my bike and have no qualms whatsoever about carryin my lid when I stop somewhere

 

ilock myhelmet all the time, you don,t know whos out there.

 

Well if you want a helmet lock, go for it.... however in 35+ years I have never had a my lid stolen and I leave it on the seat unlocked all the time ($250 modular)(ok only when traveling cause I'm lidless local). HD sells a universal bar mounted lidlock.

 

I put the strap with the D rings in-side my bag and close the lid on it. If someone wants it bad enough they will take it. They may take the bag with it also, but I'm not gonna worry to much.

 

I just leave mine on. It's an HD helmet that matches my HD jacket, shirt, belt, socks, boxers, pants, boots, and gloves. I really don't won't to interupt the HD clothing style flow by taking my helmet off; I paid alot of money to look like the guys in the catalog. Besides, it's great fun watching the facial expressions as I back into the stall in the mens restroom with a helmet on.
