There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Seems that a 3" or 4" diameter loop of plastic coated thin cable could be looped through the helmet's D-ring and then over the helmet holder under the the saddle. That would act like an extension and would work perfectly. I'll see if I can find something suitable. If so, I'll post it.

That works, so does a dogbone shaped cable. Doesn't even have to be plastic coated, but that's a nice addition. In a pinch, a long zip-tie, made into a loop, will work, too. The most expensive solution is a small, retractable cable lock...still far cheaper than the aftermarket helmet locks...plus no key to carry.

These won't work on the RT. Whatever is used needs to be able to bend under the seat to the hook. There is no straight access.

Helements lokks
Don't sweat it fellows. Just go you your locol police station and you can get for free a locking cable with its key that can be used to "lock" a pistol. You feed the little cable through the gun's barrel and snap the lock closed. You can do the same thing tying your helement to any part of your bike and for free.

hyea:Kewlmetal helmet locks
The Kewlmetal helmet locks (the pair for the RT) instructions say that the right adaptor is taller. I can see no difference in any of the parts to indicate to me which is for the left and which is for the right. I would like to install these now. Anybody able to explain this to me? And to anyone who has installed one on the right, did you have any trouble as noted possible in the instructions with the throttle spring? If there's any chance I'll mess anything up, I'll wait to get the throttle side done by my dealership. Suggestions, tips, recommendations needed?

I've been fooling around with this idea, and it's not quite as good as I had hoped... You can push the lock in and it "unloops" itself off of that hook... :cus:
There needs to be some sort of keeper attached to it to keep that from happening. It's looking more and more like a D-ring on a short plastic coated piece of cable with a T handle at the other end is the best way to go...

we use these: http://www.pacsafe.com/www/index.php?_room=3&_action=detail&id=27
lidsafe bags, waterproof and you can lock them to anything. we lock them to the foot rest brackets and then hang them on the handle bars.... rolls up medium sized when not in use.
got them from ebags online
the helmet locks on the RT under the seat suck. they are plastic tabs that will break under major use is my guess. just sad they didnt even look at the jap bikes which use a simple metal tab with a notch so you can easy hand the helmet and close seat. the RT design = FAIL.

:agree: I'm starting to look more and more for a license place backer with a couple of locks on the sides... :gaah:
