Default Best way to remove a helmet lock

hi to all

I would like to remove from my Harley 2011 limited a helmet lock accessory.
You know the type that is attached to the front roll bars.
It appears to be an easy task but I believe there is a security feature that only the set screws to go on one way ??
Any ideas!
cheers

I'm not sure what the device you are trying to remove looks like; however, if you are prepared to ruin the set screws, take a Dremel-like tool with a cutting wheel, cut a slot in the center of the screw and back it out with a common screwdriver.

Agreed. This is the best way to remove one-way screws. If you have room to swing a hammer, use an impact driver to break them loose, then finish with a screwdriver.
