LidLox: Where do you store/carry Your Key?

[newbert]

No - I'm not trying to steal your helmet -- It probably wouldn't fit my huge noggin anyway....

I just installed the LidLox on my F3-T and it actually was really easy - even for a klutz like me. Now the question is where do I store/carry the LidLox key? I keep my Spyder's key separately (ie - not on the ring of my house/car keys) to hopefully avoid scratching around the ignition. It would be ideal to keep the LidLox key with the Spyder key on a ring (since the LidLox key is so small), but, as we all know, the Spyder ignition key has no hole and you shouldn't drill a hole thru it.

So, where do you keep your LidLox key?

I keep my Spyder key in its sheath which is on a ring with the LidLox key, among others.

My BRP Cruise jacket has a key clip lanyard bungee attached inside the right pocket. It's a perfect location for me.

I keep mine in a corner of the glovebox of the F3-L. Verrry easy for me to get to, and I don't think someone who just wants to nick your helmet is going to spend time digging around the bike for a key (even if they know the glovebox is there and unlocked)

Drilled my key

Sorry but I drilled my key (cheap and easy) Lamonster even has a video on how to do it. Put a ring thru key and put lid locks key on ring. Almost 2 years and no problems. Works great and is cheap. Bob

I keep mine on a keyring that is hooked to my belt clip. :thumbup:
Along with the key to my fuel door, and the ignition key (When it's not in the switch!)

Just curious....do most people not use the OEM under-seat helmet lock hooks? Or, are those only on newer models/bikes? I find the ones on my 2017 RTS very handy.

We keep the hangers and the keys in the glove box

Why would I want to hang my helmet in a place that's guaranteed to mark up the paint? :dontknow:

Ok, makes sense I guess. The bottom lip of my full-face helmet is nicely padded and I just put that towards the bike. The D-ring has a padded area on the strap just above it also. Maybe it's just my helmet configuration that makes it work for me. Anyhow, I'm glad I have the hooks.

Hmmm...Not even sure whether my 2016 F3-T has these. If so, I wasn't aware of it. :shocked:

I have the hooks on my 2015 RTS but the strap on my helmet is too short. When I hook the helmet the seat won't close so I use the Lidlox. Some people here have made brackets to aid in extending the under seat helmet hook.

Glvoebox of RT

Since the glove box locks when handlebars fully left, I leave it in the glove box.

Designated ring

After getting my trailer I made a spare ring to hold my other keys with a carabiner for quick access to the lid lox "T"( helmet extender). It stays in a pocket up in frunk till I need whatever key.

I don't have Lidlox but do have a Kradellock and carry that key on a ring on the BRP sheath; see no need to drill my Spyder key.

Most people have no idea that those even exist.

The F3-T has the clips under the seat, but the passenger handles keep me from using it. At least for my helmet. I just use my LidLox, or trailer if I have it with me.

Just poke a hole in the rubber CanAm key head and put it on a ring like any other key. Lidloc then goes on the ring with the spyder key. Keep it simple.
