Does anyone actually use that little cable that comes with your bike to lock up your helmet? Are there better options out there?

There are units that bolt to your license plate bracket and have a means to lick two helmets. I have one on my BMW and one my XB.

Check out www.ascycles.com

do a search on their site for

Helmet Lock Helmet Guardian

It is 42.80 plus shipping. I have ordered from A&S before and they are reliable.

12bolt, I went to the local hardware shop and bought metal mirror hangers and self tapping screws total cost less then $2.00, put one on each side and it works great for me. If you have any questions you can PM me. It looks like this:

Looks like a great idea. You think they would hold up to someone yankin on your helmet?

12bolt...a while back, after seeing Sardawg2dpd's idea, I recreated it on my bike...it costs next to nothing, takes very little time and effort and works great! A very simple and effective solution.
thanks again Sardawg.

I can't say enough good things about this product.

www.barender.com

They do double duty as helmet lock, and anti-vibration bar ends because they are pretty much solid stainless and heavy. We put them on my wife's Blast, but I am going to try them on my XB12R soon. They look good too.

I would like that barender thing, but I would have to cut my grips. I don't even know where the stock one is?

I didn't really care for the look of the barender. I think I will give Sardawg2dpd's idea a shot.
