How do you secure your helmet when you get off your bike?
I have a new FLHT Standard and hadn't found a good spot to put my helmet. On my old bike I could set it on the sissy bar but the width of the pad on the new bike will not allow me to.
helmet locks? I just set mine on the brake pedal on my RG. it hung on da hiway pegs on my lowrider. keep it upright so as not to fill up with rain water.
I just use a bicycle cable lock with an inline combo lock when my tour-pack is too full to put helmets in there. The cable is about 6 feet long and can secure two helmets and a couple jackets. Just slip one end through the D-rings on the helmet and through the jacket sleeves. Works OK so long as a determined thief doesn't come along.
I bought an HD helmet lock and mounted it on my engine guard below my highway pegs. Up here in VA, there are a lot of places I am leary about leaving an overpriced HD helmet and don't necessarily want to carry it w/me. The lock was $18.95 at HD, mounts easily, and works well. It looks like it is a part of the Highway Peg mount.
You can use 2 different kinds of locks. One is the kind you use to lock up guns with the plastic coated cable. The other is I use my handcuffs and lock them to the handle bars and when the see the insignia they steer wide of it!!
