Helmet lock
03/28/06 at 06:47:44

I just ordered a Kuryakyn K4220 helmet lock. This one attaches to the handlebar or highway bar. I hate to go get gas or go to a store and leave my helmet on the backrest when I go inside. I can't decide where to mount it other than somewhere on the left side, so the lean of the bike will keep the helmet off of the engine or gas tank. Do any of you guys have a helmet lock?

I'm wanting to get a helmet lock. Right now I'm looking at either the type that goes on the end of the Kuryakyn grips, or one called the Helmet Guardian. I really like the helmet guardian, as it holds two helmets and mounts to the license plate bracket, one helmet on either side of the plate. Plus, it is actually more economical than the Kuryakyn lock, which is kinda pricey for one lock -- about $35 or so, while the Helmet Guardian is $49.

Where did you mount your lock? Got any pics?

Just a thought. (I had to replace mine when a guy at work ran into my bike - company paid for it but I could not believe the cost)
