I like my Helmetlok II . Can clip the helmet to the bars or mirrors.

Here is my solution for the helmet lock. I made these two brackets from a piece of angle aluminum polished them and mounted them to the bottom of the mirror studs. I run gun locks through the d ring through the bracket and lock it the helmets lay on the mirrors.
Works for me.

You should patent that little piece and sell...bet they would be popular w/the touring bike riders. Great innovative thinking!

I agree. A simple, elegant and inexpensive solution.
I may just make a couple for when the tour pack is full.

Thanks for all the ideas. My brother had a helmet stolen while he was on a trip last year. I have never had one taken. My wife and I have been talking about the hassle it would be if someone would take our helmets. We travel a lot and finding a place to get a new helmet could be a problem. Then the cost of the helmet and the head sets we use are not cheap.

But your neighborhoods may vary.
Exactly right. If its the least bit difficult most petty thieves will jut move on.
Of course, like with anything else, if someone is determined or targeting you or something specific they will take it no matter what you do.

I like to be keyless. Simple and easy. The wife could never find her key to get her helmet free. If we were riding with others they would be waiting on her to find their key. I think keyless will be the way to go for us. Thanks again for the ideas.

Thanks, they are small enough that you don't hardly see them.

Sure, but good luck using it thereafter without needing to replace the strap.
Thanks, threw one of those in my tour pak. The cable's long enough to go around the lower front part of my modular helmet.

Get your pistol or gun lock to fit into the chin compartment of your helmet. Then, secure it to an appropriate area of your motorcycle, such as the passenger seats or handlebars.
