RE: Helmet Storage
I usually hang it from the highway peg. If I do want it secured mine will fit in the bag. If there is to much in the bags I place the strap with the d-ring end inside the bag and close and lock it. The helmet just hangs there, but be sure you catch it when you open the bag.

RE: Helmet Storage
I have the above Harley helmet lock mounted to the right side grab bar. I just hang the helmet D-ring over the hook and it rests over the taillight. It is padding side down so no rain worries.
Unless I'm going away for a while in a shady area or at work, I seldom even lock it. If I need to I can though. If the wife is with me then she usually uses the lock and I just hang mine from the right side highway peg.

RE: Helmet Storage
I have 3 half helmets that I use from time to time. All are DOT approved. My Harley Bones half helmet does not fit in the bags but my Carbon fiber helmet I purchased from carbonfiber.com (my favorite) and my other off brand helmet whose name excapes me at the moment both fit in the saddlebag with room to spare. My advice is buy a helmet that fits in the saddle bag, problem solved!

You could hang your helmet on this handy hook. Probably won't get messed with.

RE: Helmet Storage
I went to the hardware store and made a 3 foot cable and run it through the rings on the helmet strap and lock it to my backrest with a cheap luggage type lock. Costs about $5-10, not bullet proof but keeps the casual thief from walking by and grabbing it. I only do this because I know someone who stole their first helmet because the bastard was too broke to buy his own and he needed one to take his cycle test.
