Gun lock through the helmet is a good idea, I'll have to try that.

 

That's the one complaint I have with some of the newer helmets like the Neotec 3 I now have. They have that clasp closure system instead of the old style double D-rings making it so using a cable lock like that won't work. Given a choice I would prefer the old D-rings.

 

Yeah, we're running the Neotec 2, same issue.

I've seen these from Lidlox and they have knockoffs on Amazon. Can find just the metal bar piece that slides through the ratchet and you can use your own padlock or whatever on the hole.

 

I'll have to check this out. I have a Neotec 2 as well. On the Burgman I can just chuck it under the seat but whatever I get next will need a better solution for sure.

 

Thanks! Never saw that one before but will be looking into it for sure!

 

Straps can get cut even if you put a lock through the d-rings. Itd be better to put the cable around the chin bar.

 

Cut strap renders the helmet useless. Most companies don't have replacement straps for just that reason

 

Yeah but ive still read of it happening

 

Thieves don’t care they be stupid

 

my helmet goes in my top case. jacket I usually wear or I have a 6' cable ill run through a sleeve to lock it to the bike. Sometimes I'll stuff it in a pannier too depending on if I have anything else in them.

 

Here's a creative solution, although I'd put it on the brake side personally

Someone go buy this 990SMT

Open to offers, I bet you could get it for $2K and a handshake.

 

sounds like you are going to buy it lol

 

Nah, I'd like to stay married, even though that'd be one hell of an amazing fly and ride..

 

haha that is fair!

 

Sent that to a few buddies that live in Nor Cal.

 

How heavy of a cable do you carry with you? I didn't want to try and figure out where to store my big ass bike cable I use for locking my maxtrax or little giant ladder to my truck.

 

I use one of these. Pretty light weight but seems solid. I use a normal padlock on it so gives me options to loop it around something or just make a full circle.

There was one similar to that at Cycle Gear the other day. I showed it to my wife, 2 minutes later went back to grab it and someone else took it, lol. was only like 5.98 (was on closeout or something).
