Helmet Locks ?
I had not given this much thought but the other day my buddy was is in best buy and when he returned to his bike someone had stolen his helmet. Hence my question do any of you guys have helmet locks and where do you have them installed. I was thinking about a lock that mounts to the highway bars.

i have been thinking about this myself. i have a cheapo 60 buck helmet, but i dropped some coin on my girlfriends lid and im not walking off and leaving it hanging in a parking lot. its a pain in the azz to lug it in every time. it does hamper where we ride the bike.

And replace the stainless steal tamper proof screws with stainless non-tamper proof screws, in-case you want to remove it. Use hex head bolts, a scum bag probably won't be carrying a allen set.

I have the Harley lock, I mounted it the downtubes of my frame. Works great but if I'm ridin, I don't stop much except for gas. Unlike most guys, I have a full face helmet I wear rear-yound.

Helmet Lock
J&P offers a helmet lock (Part Number: 132-667) that bolts on, and offers several choices of location. I mounted mine on the left (logical to avoid hot pipes) at the front of the rear mudguard. I like this location because the rear "highway bars" help protect helmets from the oafs and jerks that like to rub up against your machine with their studded chaps, etc. It uses stock bolt size.
They are about $60 and require no skill to install. Even a huffer could have this baby on in 5 min or less
I guess my only gripe (well it's not really a gripe...more of a surprise) is that the unit is a bit larger than I expected, and heavy. But security-wise it will do the trick.
I've attached a photo.
