Default Helmet locks

I have a 2012 RK, and I have been looking but I can't find a helmet lock on it. Do these newer models not come with one?

Yeah, go to your local shop and they sell a chrome helmet lock that bolts onto one of your front down tubes. Looks nice and is functional. I personally keep my helmet in my rear Tour Pak.

Lots of police departments and firearms/hunting organizations around here give away cable type gun locks. They work great and the price is right.

if you are mounting up the H-D style lock to the rear crash bars, check that the saddlebaglids will open before tightening.

they use a "one way" security screw.

you can get a bit at harbor freight, it looks like a bowtie

This is what I use to lock my helmets. It's cheap and portable. It has a soft foam cover on the top so it doesn't scratch anything and you can lock it to your bars or almost anywhere else on the bike.
It's $9.99 on Amazon.com

Here's the site:

This is a bit more $59.99 but it mounts directly to your bars or any other tube on your bike. It uses a cable and They make one long enough to loop it through the arm of a leather jacket so you can lock it to the bike also.

That might work in Arizona but here in New Jersey if it's not locked, it will be stolen!
If its locked, it might be stolen.
