I also use a cable lock that came with one of my Glock pistols. I sit my full-face Shoei on top of my tourpack rack and run the cable through the chinbar and rack. It's quick, easy and unobtrusive.

I use 2 methods.
1: Get a cable lock at any ski shop (probably at Walmart/Kmart as well)
You can lock up multiple items with it and it folds up very small for storage.
2: I put one of those HD helmet locks on my right foot peg. I can hang my helmet on the foot peg where it's not touching anything, and still lock it up. I have hung both my wife's and my helmet by the d-rings, but don't try it if the pipes are hot. The lock is barely noticeable.

I have these on my SG and love them. The just look like chrome bar ends (I have them on both sides for the OL, but you can get a single) but the metal D-ring slides in to them and locks. Pricey, but the looks great and work perfectly.

Dammit, quoted the wrong post. I meant to say I have the Kuryakyn ones that go on the ends of their ISO grips.

I got a small master lock I put around the mirror stem and through through the helmet rings.

Took a couple of Phillips screws... they were a little too long... I cut them off so they don't stick out the back, and ground the ends smooth.. and I use them...
I figure there aren't too many people that go around carrying a screwdriver, with the ***** to go over to someone else's bike and move the helmets to check the heads on the screws holding the helmet lock... and then to have the ***** to start unscrewing the lock....
Well it hasn't happened in over a dozen years, anyway...
and the bonus - being the cheap so-and-so I am, I get to take yet another part with me from my old bike to my new one. (or just simply to change the location of the lock if I choose to do so)

Maybe I'm missing something but can't you just unscrew your mirror in about 5 seconds and take helmet, lock, and mirror? I'm assuming your mirrors are handlebar mounted, of course.
