Okay. You're out somewhere, and you park your bike, take off your helmet, (Yeah, a few Hoosiers wear helmets!) and go inside. But where do you hang your helmet so that it doesn't Walk Off before you come back? My last bike had a tab you could access under the seat, and lock the seat down. But this Big Bad Buell doesn't seem to have much more than a handle bar to work with. I went to a Concert and left my helmet on the bike for 3 hours. I was Glad to see it still there when I returned.

Any ideas on making the Helmet more Attached to the bike when left in Public? (Is this guy Anal or What?!?)

Don't need anything special. Local hardware store sells a 2-foot cable (don't remember the thickness, but I couldn't break it) already has a loop on each end.
Just add padlock, loop the cable, go through the eyeport, and lock it around a frame tube. Total outlay about $5, assuming you already have a padlock laying around. Packs really small, and extremely versatile.

Mine was on the bike when I bought it. It was bolted to the frame under the seat. I will snap a pic of it. I did not use it so I removed it. Frank.

On my Cyclone there are straps under the seat. There are four. On one end there is a metal eye that is screwed on with the screws that hold the tail section on and on the other end is a loop that I attach the helmet strap too and put the seat back on. I can ride with a helmet hanging on the side of the bike too. Thought they were stock. Nothing really special.

The tailbag is designed to attach to the four loops under the seat.

I use a U-type disk lock and run it through the D ring then hang it on the horizontal frame tube above the primary cover.

I worked in a corner cubicle for few years that overlooked our building's own public Motorcycle Parking slots, which had a Bus Stop right in front of them.
I can't count how many times I looked down to see somebody waiting for their bus, sitting on my bike! Some people use their Disk Lock as a helmet lock, but the helmets sitting on the ground, open to the public. I've seen people throw soda cups into helmets, candy wrappers, who knows what. (I took my helmet in, by the way.) I'm looking at that locking bag sold by PacSafe (Aerostich catalog) that has a steel net sewn into the liner of a padded bag that locks the helmet inside. About the best arrangement I've seen so far.
My used bike came with a Motion Pro helmet lock like the one shown above, I'd a kept it if it only wasn't chrome. But I'm not going to spend the $15 for a black one. Not many places I go lately that I leave my helmet on the bike, cause I usually have a big-ass Aerostich suit to deal with anyway.

From Kuryakyn .... mounts right behind the license plate, comes with a strong backing plate as well. Best picture of it on the bike that I have at the moment. Nice part about it mounted here as opposed to the frame is your frame won't get marred this way.
