I purchased a gun cable lock at a gun show for $5. I use it to lock my new Arai to the handlebar.

Ya that looks like a good idea & for less than $20 bucks it can't hurt to try. Realizing locks just keep honest ppl honest it's not going to stop the "pro" from clipping the cable & taking your helmet.

I always figured that those helmet locks kept the helmets from being accidentally bumped off a bike more so than deterring a serious thief. That being said, I use one. Why make it any easier for them.
