accessories » Helmet lock

I've just bought and fitted one of these. It's a great way of securing one or two helmets to your bike, with the release mechanism only accessible when you remove the front seat.

Ive got a couple of helmet bags that are waterproof,you can thread a lock through and lock the to the bike.

I just thread a helmet lock through the helmet and the bike's luggage rack. Usually we attach two helmets since my wife's Diavel doesn't have a convenient place to attach.

They would work with this too. The good thing is that this lock is always with the bike and doesn't take up any luggage space.

This is my solution. A chinese scooter lock, a bit of scrap aluminium angle and an evenings drilling and filing. Works a treat.

I carry 2 Oxford carabiner style helmet locks in the tank bag for my helmet and my wife’s. On tour in Brittany right now and they prove very effective especially as there’s a coiled cord for passing through jacket sleeves to enable these to fixed to the bike as well as the helmets.

This is the one I use...

Expensive but works well and you can key to match your existing.

I’ve never left my helmet on the bike, so that’s one less thing to carry.

I also use a Helmetlok for securing all of my helmets to all of my bikes. I have been attaching helmets to motorcycles by the D-ring ever since helmets and helmet locks were made and have yet to have one stolen, even when I leave the bike for several hours in the woods or while shopping for donuts. Of course, it could be because my helmets only sold for $50 on a closeout discount when new and who wants to steal one of those. Hardly worth the effort to cut the strap with a pen knife.

The old F800 was a pretty basic bike, but it came stock with a cable loop installed under the seat for a helmet lock. I rarely leave my helmet with the bike. Gloves and neck sock go into the lid, the lid comes with me. Whether your helm is expensive or not, some folks will take an opportunity to steal anything. My car has been broken into for the net gain of a flashlight and a ball cap.
