    Default Love my new helmet lock

    I bought a new helmet lock from http://lidlox.com/t/spyder I love it. The service is super. The price is very fair and the quality it is very good. better yet it was about a 5 min job putting it on.

    I emailed about some other things and I got a response back from Matt a few hours ago. So happy with this kind of online store. This lock seems to hold the helmet further away from the panel. But that could just be me.

    I use the bag that my helmet came with and wrap up the helmet.
    Keeps stuff from getting in it.
    Also if you wanted to you can still place the helmet on the end of the grip so it is sideways.

    Same here.... The Sena units snap right off the clamp super easy. I remove them and lock them up, put the helmet on the grip lock, put the helmet bag on the helmet.

    Maybe I'm over analyzing this but, what keeps someone from loosening the small set screw and just backing out the lock cylinder? Just the fact that they don't know how the system works?

    Default Simply a deterrant....

    most stolen helmets were never locked on in any way. This just makes them move on to the next unsecured helmet. Those determined will simply cut the "D" rings and leave those for you...

    You could unscrew the set screw out, but you still need the barrel key to unscrew the lock. Honestly, this is the best lock to keep honest people honest.
