........ just one more reason my tour pak stays on most of the time anymore. Great/easy storage.
..... Had a 1/2 helmet stolen off my seat a couple years ago & i just don't care to take that chance again.

if you have one of those cheapy gun locks, you can put it to use to "secure" it.

I leave mine hanging next to my gun holster..it don't get stolen.
Ok, I don't have a gun holster, but how cool would that be?

I used to ride an Ultra and had room to store two helmets. Now I ride a Softail and I just strap it to my back rest bag.

So far, I haven't had anything stolen, but I found my bag opened one night. I was smart enough to empty it before I stopped in that area though so I lost nothing. Hell, there's several hundred dollars worth of parts that'll come off these bikes pretty quick anyway so what're you gonna do?

True..... never thought of that !!! However, if I lost my helmet in California, I wouldn't get to the corner before I'd get caught.

Just put it in my trunk - LOL. The Ultra has SO much storage. But on a more sensible note, the half helmets fit fine in the saddlebags, wife has a Softail classic, she has no problem putting it in hers, and my half fits in my bags too.

When I rode a VTX and wanted to secure it (couldn't access the helmet lock cuz it was "conveniently located" behind the bags) - I used a laptop computer cable lock. Cheap and efficient.

I keep one of those String backpack things in my Pocket . If I go in somewhere I just put the D-ring through one of the string so I can put it on my back. It doesn't go in the bag just hangs off it.

Around here they steal anything that's not nailed down or bolted on.

I put mine on the right side mirror and strap it through the throttle cables. That way it can't just be lifted off and walked away with. If I want more security I use a tiny master lock to attach it to the cables with the D-ring. Then I walk away and don't think about it anymore. How else are you going to enjoy riding?

Default lock

I purchased 2 of the Harley Helmet Locks and attached one on each side of my crash bar.

They Vibrate Like Crazy at 2500rpm and bug the crap out of me.

I would have taken them off the same day but the install with 1 way screws and I've been too lazy to drill them out. It actually took me a while to figure out where the "buzzing" sound was coming from and than I realized it was them.

I store my helmet on my head when riding. When not riding the 1/2 helmet is in one the saddle bags. 3/4 gets locked using HD helmet lock accessory.
