I tend to hang it on the mirror...shiny side up! Most folks have a healthy fear of bikers. Short of carrying it with ya, it's fair game to anyone who really wants it.

 

I normally hang mine from the shifter peg.

Some of my helmets are small enough to fit in a saddlebag, so if I'm wearing one of them and am going to be away from the bike for a long time, I'll stow it in there.

 

Bought a padlock with an the longer schackle for those times when the Tourpak is loaded. Secure it to the rearview mirror.

 

I like that! lol

The HD helmet locks are going on my Christmas list!

 

Go to your local law enforcement agency and request a gunlock. They are FREE from Project ChildSafe

I have several for my weapons and to secure two helmets on my Street Glides.

 

pad lock to the quick release luggage rack. I figure, if they're going to steal it they will. But this way it keeps it on the bike, won't drop to the ground if it gets bumped. Nobody can grab it and run.

 

+1 This works with both the half and full face helmets.

 

My old half helmet I hang on the handle grip by the chin strap. My new almost-$500 Shoei full face? That goes into the store with me, lol

 

Do the helmet locks prevent someone from dropping a drink in your helmet or worse peeing in the helmet. Had a buddie with a wet helmet before. The helmet locks prevent theft but not wetness.>

 

I do the same and have been lucky so far but some are not as lucky. Back about two months ago we were at the dealer when a guy rode in without a helment on. One of the guys standing outside with me yelled at him that we have a helment law in this state. He smiled and said he knew that and the police just got though reminding him also! He was at the Crackerbarrel eating and came out and his helment was GONE. He was just passing through and they told him where the nearest dealer was and while heading there to buy a helment he was stopped but the police did not ticket him.

People will steal anything anywhere.
