Helmet Lock - 12003 Helmet Guardian

I have mounted this dual helmet lock under my license plate. It works great. My bike is an RT and the plastic lips for the helmet locks under the seat is a joke. So, I installed this helmet lock and we have helmet lock extensions that we utilize with our Nolan helmets. Bought the black one at California Sport Touring, Inc. for around $46 plus shipping. Hope it helps.

Many thanks to the contributors!!!

Thanks all for the rapid responses
I got a host of ideas and opinions on how to handle my helmet dilemma. I welcome further input if others have additional suggestions.

Gotta say that I love the way a Spyder owner can post with an issue, and the troops rally around with usually not 1, but several solutions:clap::clap::clap:

Once I put it on to ride I don't take it off until I get back home. Even when I'm going to the movies!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: I lock them in the frunk or carry it/them with us. Nan refuses to sit on the spYder and watch them while I go dancing. To many friends have had their helmet(s) stolen for me to leave it on the bike.

 

[Chupaca]

you can..!!

get two helmets in the frunk of an RS. Wife and I have HJC modular helmets and I get them both in the frunk along with gloves and light ryding jackets. But then you have a back pack different story. I do carry a kyrptonite retractable cable lock and lock it or them to the seat through the chin guard and grab bar.. Good luck deciding which way to go..!! :thumbup:

the RS Frunk will hold 2 HALF helmets or 1 full-faced helmet....
i have a SCALA G9 on my helmet, and i put it in the frunk, or i carry it with me....
don't take chances... take precautions... it's way too expensive to re-coop.... :yikes:

:agree: Healing cuts into riding time! :shocked:

 

[flaggerphil]

I have an RT so don't have your problem. I'd either lock it to the passenger handles with a cable or carry it with me. As it is, my helmet goes in the frunk and my wife puts hers in the right saddlebag.

 

[Spyder Tony]

Unfortunately Not...

As much as donning such headgear would raise my street cred, i will have to pass:thumbup:

 

[happyspyder2039]

if you have Guns you most likely have gun locks around. inexpensive fix... to attach to passenger hand rail

 

[Flanker]

On Nancy's GS, if the trunk is full, we use a small retractable cable lock to fasten it to the passenger grab rail, or we use a Pacsafe Lidsafe armored bag to lock it to the grab rail. I do the same thing on my BMW most of the time.

Excellent advice! I leave mine in the trunk.

 

[Bob Denman]

Is that how you've managed to cultivate that marvelous suntan up on the dome? :dontknow:
Or does the helmet come out to play when it hears the bike fire up?

bike lock-Wally World

I just have a cheapo bike lock with combo I got at wal mart and it goes around the back rest and thru the chin strap on my helmet.

First of all you know that Handcuff keys are universal, right?. Second of all if you hang it by the strap some smart aleck is going to cut the strap for you. then what good is it. I would get a Cable that goes through the chin bar and through the hand grips if I really wnated to be safe and it wouldn't go in the frunk and I didnt' want to or couldn't carry it.

I think playing the odds on: 1) someone having a handcuff key and 2) seeing your spyder parked and 3) wanting to steal your helmet. ARE REALLY LOW (like Damn near non-existent). People are only going to steal a helmet if it's sitting on the bike unattached. Nobody is going to cut the strap. So based on your thought process someone could be carrying a set of huge bolt cutters and they could just hack your cable OR someone could just cut your chin strap even though it's not securing the helmet (just to be a smart aleck) they could just dig out their tools and unbolt your handlebars OR they could be driving around the area with a rollback tow truck and see your sweet helmet and steal the whole spyder....... :banghead:

I takes me 10 sec to lock mine turn key, hang, swing up and walk. How long does it take to get that gun lock out ,unlock, install, lock and walk away? I used to use one I know.

Helmet locks

I'd like to start off by saying i'm not an elitist or snob by any means. I financed the price of a helmet at the time I bought my 2013 ST Ltd. so I (over)paid $660 at the dealership for my Shoei GT Air Wanderer, and for this reason I am reluctant to leave it on my bike when stopped...even at the local Cyclegear where there are several helmets left on their bikes while the owners shop inside. If the helmet were ever taken, i'd have to replace it with a BILT $99 special, since I don't see me forking out another $600 plus for a replacement lid. Seems like the helmet locks/cables would only show down a thief wanting the helmet...not prevent them.

Now to the question...What do you Spyder owners do with your helmets when you park your Spyder?
I know the obvious answer of "Put it in the Frunk", but I usually have my backpack in there when on the road. Both items will not fit.

Interestingly enough...my 2013 Owners Manual states there is enough room in the Frunk for 2 helmets. I can barely fit my 1 helmet in the Frunk much less a 2nd one. I cannot possibly figure out how BRP expects 2 helmets to fit in the Frunk :hun:

From Page 86 of the 2013 ST Owner's Manual:
Front Storage Compartment - The front storage compartment has room to store light objects, such as two helmets.

Kewlmetal has helmet locks that fit on the end of your handle bars. I installed these on my 2011 RT-S. You might check them out, I love mine.
