HD Helmet Lock Location
Where have you all mounted the HD helmet lock on an Ultra? I cannot seem to find a logical location that fits good and looks good.
Any advice?
Thanks

RE: HD Helmet Lock Location
I normally put my helmet in my tourpak too, except when I am on an overnight trip and the space in the tourpak is too valuable for a helmet! That is why I got the HD helmet locks. I put them on the saddlebag guard on my '05 Ultra, but never really liked that location.

I took the orange reflector off the left downtube and mounted my lock there. The reflector is held on with two sided tape so it's easy to remove. I can lock two helmets on the lock and it is out of the way and not to visible when not in use.

Aside from this I sometimes use an inexpensive cable lock, the type used to secure a handgun. It is small and light weight and can be used anywhere.

RE: HD Helmet Lock Location
I bought the helmet lock and then couldn't picture a place that looked good. I have the mustache bar front engine guard and went for convenience & put it on the right hand side and in fact it looks okay, plus it's a great spot for fishing around with the key. I tucked one under the left side of the seat on my old springer and that was a mistake, you had to be a contortionist to lock the helmets on, and even Houdini would have struggled to open the dang thing. I would think about the effort to get at the keyhole.

I have mine on the lower left-side crash bar -- in fact you can just make it out in my signature picture directly in line with the reflector. It works great there.

Mine goes in the tourpack or I carry it in with me if I make a stop. The gunlock/cable is a good idea too...

Another suggestion might be get a Kuryakyn Grip set and a set of grip end helmet locks. With the Grip end helmet locks, you can't even tell they are there. Look on eBay or the Kuryakyn site..

RE: HD Helmet Lock Location
I'm also looking for something to lock my helmet on my RK. I like the idea of the HD lock, but I don't think I'd like the look of it on my crashbar. I'm thinking about going the cable lock route. Then I can use it to lock up my leather jacket too if I don't feel like carrying it.
