Never thought about it. I just always have a bunch of crap in my TP so I came up with this idea. Have one on each side.

I usually just leave my helmet on my seat when I'm off my bike, but now that I will have the Sena on them and the WHIM installed, I'm thinking that thefts might go up. I have an FLHTK, but my trunk is usually stuffed with things and I can't put two helmets inside. How does everyone secure their helmets, if at all? I was thinking of an after market locking mechanism, but are they any good? Not a good place to put it either.
Any suggestions?
TIA.

I have a full face modular helmet. I use a cable and combination lock and thread cable through sissy bar and helmet (I open the visor and wrap it around the chin/bottom of the helmet), then let the helmet sit on the seat. My Sena detaches from my helmet and I take that with me. Since I have a Street XG750, there's not a lot of room to add things and the bars are rounded so a helmet lock won't attach anywhere.

Also I only do this when I park and don't have room in tourpak for helmet.

I have a nice Shoei FF helmet. I just hang it on the mirror. Nobody bothers peoples stuff in small town America. I leave $500.00 worth of gear in the left bag without a worry in the world where I work or anywhere locally. That's the upside of not living where city thieves live. If theft were a threat I'd either cable lock it or just carry with me.
