I just purchased a 2014 Street Glide last month and today someone tried to steal my helmet left on the seat is there a location on a Street Glide to lock a helmet? it gets tiring carrying around a helmet so that it doesn't get stolen.

I just received an answer from a fellow HD owner on my way to purchase lock at HD Dealership, Question sounds kinda dumb but I've just starting riding again after 27 years and my Sega had a lock latch on the side of the bike thought the Street Glide might have had one aswell.

 

During my SG days, I made a 18 inch cable out of 1/8 inch stainless steel from Ace Hardware, kind of like a bicycle cable. You can lock the helmet anywhere on the bike, but usually mounted it on the passenger peg. The cable took about 10 minutes to make cost $10 with a lock. I made sure the cable and lock could be seen. I think the visibility of the cable and lock deters thieves as much as anything.

Beary

 

I have a VERY simple solution, since I have the Echo quick releases on all of my helmets...I simply put the longer end of the helmet strap into the front of the saddlebag, then close and lock the bag! The metal piece on the strap will catch on the lip of the bag. I pull out the passenger footboard and rest the helmet on that. Problem solved.

If you're into guns, like me, you may have dozens of those free locks that come with rifles and handguns. The cable variety is flexible and useful for passing thru a D-ring and attaching somewhere on the bike. Can a motivated thief cut the strap and still steal the helmet? Sure, but good luck using it thereafter without needing to replace the strap.

 

I bought a Masterlock with a 1 1/2 shackle for about $6. When I feel the need to lock up the helmet (which is rare), I put it on my rearview mirror (as I always do) and then run the shackle of the lock around the mirror stem and through the D-rings.

I also have a thin 3 foot long bicycle cable that I can run through the sleeve of my jacket and through the saddlebag guard and then use the same lock if I want to lock up my jacket too. In that case, I sit the helmet on the jacket and again run the cable through the D-rings.

 

I purchased a nice covered bicycle lock... It is heavy duty, fabric covered so it won't scratch anything and is long enough to run through the sleeve of my jacket and through my helmet (full face Shoei) as well and then lock it down.
It is especially helpful when I am touring, as my bags are usually full and when it's warm out I don't like carrying all that stuff around.

 

this!

 

I got the locks from Harley that mount to the bag rail in pic it is the little bulky piece above the top bag rail

 

My buddy has an Akoury helmet and fits in the bags easy.
