If you have highway/crash bars - can get the HD helmet lock for ~$19. I know my bike's not a dyna, but the cheap HD locks works for me & I've crammed two FF helmets onto one lock. Sucks to hear about your brain bucket getting lifted - there are real "model citizen's" in this world that have nothing better to do than mess w/other people's stuff. Just have to figure - their day will come...

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.
If my $60 or $40 helmet is with me, I leave it. When I have my $285 full face, I ALWAYS bring it with me.
Never underestimate a thief. Too bad you weren't there when he was picking it up.

I use a set of S&W handcuffs. I run one end through the D-ring(s), and the other end clamped (tightly) around the handle bars. If I have the wife with me, I pass the chain through the sissy bar and run each end through the D-rings so that each helmet is on either side of the sissy bar. Works great, and I don't think too many A-holes low enough to boost a bucket have a handcuff key on them...

Hot Bike writeup
One of the editors of Hot Bike was blowing off steam in the writupes. I guess someone jacked his helmet when he was inside somewhere and when he came out, of course no helmet. So he said well I am only a few miles away from home and he rode home. 1/2 mile from his house he gets pulled over and blasted with a ticket for no helmet. He said I explained to officer what happened and got no sympathy. lost a helmet and gained a BS ticket!! He was pissed.... Carry mine with me, people are stupid and will cut the strap off a helmet not realizing it ruins it.
