FF will fit in a (some) Tourpak, but not in hard saddlebags.

It won't come close to fitting in mine. In fact, my half helmet barely fits. What hard bag are you asking about? Apparently not a ****-Glide.

I can't get a half helmet in my side bags ..... they are the soft bags for a RK classic.
I pretty sure you will need a trunk to carry a FF.

Like Jus Crusin said.....a half helmet is a tight fit for a saddlebag.
I lock my helmet to my front rotor with a NY forgetaboutit lock.
Secures my helmet and reminds me that I have a lock on my rotor before I try to leave.

You can squeeze a half-shell in a hard side bag but a full face won't even come close.

Not even a pinhead FF will fit in a hard saddle bag.

I bought a helmet lock which I mounted to the crash bars on the right side. My half helmet will barely fit in my saddlebag, and that is if there is nothing else in there.

No way. I have a half I carry if I need it. It is wall to wall in the hard bag on its side.

Some half helmets fit in the standard saddle bag, its a tight fit and you lose that bag for everything else.
