Went out to install a helmet lock on the Thrux today. Was planning on installing it on the same place as the ones on the Bonnie - under the seat on the frame rail. With the Bonnie, this is no problem - on the Thrux, my helmet will rest on the muffler. Heat + plastic = not good. Even if it doesn't melt, I imagine that warming up the helemt shell won't do good things for its protective properties. I don't want to have the lock standing out. I'm considering that bolt lock that's been tossed about, but wanted to see if anyone can come up with a better place to use my locks I got from BC.
It's not easy to get at, I admit, but I was really turned off by just how big the lock was. It's sort of camoflaged where it is. And I don't really use it very often anyway. Finally, the rear passenger peg keeps the helmet off the muffler.
