[incubuslove]

Ok so I have no idea where my helmet hook is. Iv tried googling this and have came up empty handed! Does anyone have a clue to where it would be located? Iv looked all around my read sear and inside of it. Please help!!

The cable is inside of your tool pouch. Read your manual it actually tells you how to use it

^ This guy, it's not a lock it's a cable wire that hooks on to the metal plate underneath the passenger seat.

I hate the damn thing, at least compared to my Ninja.

 

[WarEagle07]

I like how it works personally

Though I don't like the cable wire, someone can just cut it off with a pair of cable cutters if they're going for your bike and realize you have a alarm.

I really didn't like my Ninja 500's helmet lock. The exhaust was mounted to the side and so was the lock so you burn your hand a lot.

I never leave my helmet with my bike! They cost too much money! Keep a honest man, honest!

Neither do I. Not worth it. Not only the $300+ for the helmet, but the pain in the butt and danger of possibly having to ride home from wherever you are without a helmet. "I'm sorry officer but my helmet was stolen." Somehow I don't think that would go down too well.

no way I'd leave my helmet with my bike either. In fact I just bought one of these:
Fieldsheer Lid Pack Helmet Bag - Cruiser Motorcycle - Motorcycle Superstore

It's on sale, so it was cheap, and I can wear it empty under my vest without even noticing it there. Plus if I need to carry something small, I've got it on hand.

Nice! I like that!

My helmet is only worth $80, but it's DoT and Snell approved. Went cheaper this time around as my first helmet I went down soft in but I still went down so I needed a new helmet.

I only lock my helmet to my bike when I go to the gym, darn things won't fit in the locker. I don't want to place it on top of the locker either so the only other option is to place it behind the front desk counter or lock it to my bike.

Those are small lockers. My helmet fit fine in the ones at 24 Fatness the two times I rode there.

Very cool, I might have to pick up one of those. I hate carrying around my helmet.

Does anyone know of a helmet / jacket bag?

it doesnt lock though huh?

It locks when you put the pillion seat back down and latch it. But there really is no lock in-line with the cable.

 

[JnT4Life]

The cable goes through your D ring on your helmet and the to a metal latch under the seat. You have to remove the seat to get the helmet loose(or cut the cable) and it requires a key to remove the seat, so yes, it locks.

Used the FZ6R "lock" for the first time the other night, it's not too bad.

I'd say for short trips into a store/restaurant where you can see the bike, or know there are enough people around to see someone with bolt cutters, it's fine. I wouldn't trust it for extended periods, but it is better than no lock, or carrying it into the stores all the time.

Like others, we just never leave the helmets with the bike. Ignorant people have been known to pi$$ in them, put gum in them on hot days, dump soda, milk, beer, ice cream in them... or just cut the strap and smash the helmet on the ground a few times... steal the visors, sandpaper/steel wool the visors, etc.... Not worth it. Funny thing is, they hardly ever touch the bikes. Helmet fetish?

i use the combo cable bike lock i bought from H-Freight, it's a 2 feet long, 4 digit combination lock, simple solution to lock my helmet when at work.

 

[Detrich]

if i need to go anywhere that requires doing any actual carrying of any kind of "stuff," i take the 4 banger... so far, i do not use the bike as transportation- only recreation.

i do use the built-in cable lock when going to meets tho, where my bike is usually visible from the eatery we're hanging at...
