I bought a lock similar to the Helmetlok off of fleabay for a few bucks. I should have gotten one with a cable. While locking to the chin strap will prevent the guy who just wants to walk off with your helmet a cable will prevent the kid with a pocket knife from just cutting the strap.

Cables are fairly easy to make. I go to Lowes or good hardware stores and buy vinyl coated steel cable 2 to 3' long and crimp ends. I use a bench vise to smash the ends and sometimes lodge a nail between the jaws and clamp for extra crushing. Cheap - just a few bucks. I coil them up around my hand and slide them into pieces of MC inner tube for storage in my back pack or tank bag.

I use a gun lock also. Works great and fits in pocket.
If you want a FREE one Send me a PM to arrange
mailing me a prepaid shipping envelope to your location and
then I'll ship you one or two locks much like the one in the photo
for FREE...YOU just pay shipping. Should be less than $10.00 to ship.
I made this same offer a year ago. Still have some left.
The prepaid envelope you send should be for
seven ounces for one lock or 2 locks is less than one pound.

I use a cheap cable/lock for bicycle...less then $10. It can lock two helmets and jackets to the bike.

There is a helmet lock listed on eBay that looks similar to the Sato Racing one. I considered buying it, but never did. As others have pointed out, there are just too many much cheaper alternatives.

So just FYI... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triumph-Bonn...sories&vxp=mtr
