Those 2 short cables with the loops in the end?

The HD service department had no idea. I can't find them mentioned in the service manual.

I'm thinking either for locking the helmets to them (if you have a lock handy)?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered-

right on the money, B!

there are little hook in the "trunk" area under the seat - runthe cable through the helmet, hang the loop on the hook, lock the seat, and, zippo-bang, your helmet's locked!

you will see on the lock bracket under the seat, four prongs, those are the hooks Bomber was speaking of.. Just run the wires through your helmet (the metal loop) and around those prongs and you are all set... also hook it to the hook on the inside of the frame... just so not all the weight is on the wire..

Anybody got a set they want to get rid of? My S3T doesn't have them and I need some kind of helmet lock.

On my , damn, Bluzm2's S2, I used to hook the "male" part of the helmet strap under the cross bar for the seat, then put the seat bake on. Don't know if other tubers are set up that way.
