    I use loops of paracord to hang my helmets there. Not really a secure solution, but at least it gives me a place to put them.

    You can easily make a double looped, you could also call them eyes vice loops, plastic covered steel cable of sufficient length, I made one about 5" long finished. Lowe's or Home Depot will have everything you need. I run the cable through both D-rings of the helmet and hook both loops/eyes on the under seat lock tang.

    I added Lidlox. Works great.

    Go to Amazon and search for Helmet Lock. You can lock one or two helmets to the passenger hand rails with a variety of cable locks. Oh and BRP make a locking helmet bag that not only locks the helmet but keeps it dry.

    This has come up before, and somone had mentioned using dog choke chain. I got myself to Wallyworld and picked up a medium collar. I cut it to 7 links, which worked best for me, but you may need a different length depening on the chain you get. I put a keyring split ring too big to fit through the helmet D-ring on one end, pulled the chain through some 1/4"ID tubing - some strong string and heat to soften the tubing helped here - and put a split ring just small enough to go through the helmet D-ring on the other end. The plastic tube protects the bodywork, and on our helmets there is a pad under the strap that also protects the tupperware. If I need a bit more helmet protection, I put the lid in a helmet bag, and run the D-ring through the slot on the botton most of the helmet bags have. I can even lock the zippers together with some small luggage locks for even more security.

    Most police stations will give you a lock for pistols absolutely free! There was an article about this on this forum not too long ago and it appeared to be the solution that I was looking for (I do have lidlox installed on the ends of my handlebars, but did not like the fact that the helmet hung upside down and if you wanted to "lock" the front end, it was almost impossible to use lidlox for two full face helmets). I had one of those pistol locks and simply covered the steel cable with some plastic tubing that I had in the garage. Works great and allows you to lock your helmet(s) to the passenger hand grip.
