Helmet Lock

monuworks

Anyone know a shop or online where I might pick up a lock for locking the helmet to the bike.?

Would you not just get a cheap cable, chain or U bolt and lock it?.

Try not leave it on or hear the ground or you'll find dogs will piss into it.

Carry it FFS !! You have no idea what's happening to it when its locked to the bike.

If you want to leave it with the bike you need a top box. You don't want to be the victim of some snotty nosed prankster.

Agree with what your saying, but would'nt have asked the question if I was going to carry it.!!

Thought of that but I have a 03 cbr 600f and not sure if I can fit a top box as there does'nt seem to be any brackets for the rack but I stand corrected.

Helmet locks are no good in Ireland. Even if you can secure it adequately, it will just be something for some mindless leech on society to vandalise.

Why not go down the route of finding a nice backback that takes a Helmet. Some fit inside like a Kriega and some attach to the back of the backpack very securely and look very well.

I would not leave a helmet worth any kind of money near a bike TBH.

Or piss into!!!

As previously suggested, carry it or stick it in a backpack.

A topbox can be better, if not too secure, but secure enough to deter the casual vandal. The problem is that so many helmets don't quite fit. Some people tie helmets into chains, and if it doesn't get vandalised or pissed into, the weather will just turn it into a safety hazard. Carry it, not really wise to leave it on the bike, ever.

Id suggest the backpack. I just used the cover that was provided with the helmet and sling it around my shoulder.

First thing I was told though when i parked up my bike with my dad was to never leave your helmet on the ground, unless you like it smelling of piss

Some wanker will just cut the strap and be off with your lid.

Guy I know left a lid on the ground when on tour in Italy, wasn't vandalised, wasn't pissed in, but a colony of ants decided his lid was very interesting, he was shaking them out for a couple of days :eek:
