I want a way to lock my helmet to my Dyna. I looked at the HD uni-fit lock, but was told that it rattles, it's made more for engine guards and doesn't quite fit the frame tubing, and it wrecks paint if you ever want to take it off.

I heard that pistol cable locks (actual pistol, as in go to the gun shop) work well.

My old metric had one built in. What's everyone using (if anything) to lock their helmets?

Thanks.

 

Kuryakan makes a nicer set (than HD) that fits on the front down tubes, they also have locks that will fit in the ends of Kuryakan grips that are pretty slick, but for me, I use a pair of S&W handcuffs and have never had an issue with them being compromised.

 

Mostly I don't worry about it, but when I go to rallys out of state I might lock the helmet. I use a small cable lock, looks like this:

You can find them at Target, WalMart, etc., relatively inexpensive, durable, and (as far as I've seen) pretty reliable. I lock the helmet to the luggage rack or handlebars.

There was another good idea on another thread that most guys thought was pretty amusing yet reliable - this guy used a set of handcuffs to lock his helmet to his bike. Definitely a different look! (Oops - I see Stomper beat me to it...sorry.)

Whatever works for you...

I recently had my custom pinstriped biltwell stolen. I went to the hardware store and bought a packet of matching padlocks. Not the giant padlocks, and bigger than those silly tiny ones. They hang on my passenger foot peg when not in use so you really can't see them, and even if they did rattle going down the road, you would never ever know it. I use them to padlock the helmets threw the D-Rings to the sissy bar. But in reality you could padlock the helmets D-Rings to any loop on the bike. And theres no way to steal them and wind up with usable helmets once they are secured with padlocks threw the rings.

 

Handcuffs. Dig that, Stomper.

 

That cable lock is a lot less bulky than a pistol lock. Good idea. Thanks, Doc.

 

I use the HD locks (two of them, actually) on the bracket that holds the passenger footpegs. Works really well there.

 

I have the Kuryakyn Premium Iso Grips with a helmet lock incorporated into the end of the left grip. I could add another lock to the right grip if I ever wanted to, but for now I have a throttle boss bolted to it.

 

Smith & Wesson Handcuffs work for me....secure and look cool.
( someone might think ..."oh oh....this bike is owned by a cop."

 

Here is my helmet lock, works great and not in the way!!!
