helmet lock question
What are you all using to lock a pair of helmets to your Bonnie? Mine are open face if it makes any difference.
thx
Dick

Check these out
from lockitt
I have one of the HL110 locks on my HD. I haven't added one to my Thrux yet. I've had the HL110 on my bike for 10 years, no problems. Once in a while I squirt some oil into it.

I have the HL110 also.Had to mount it on the handle bar of my Scrambler,which is where it's supposed to mount,but it's not ideal.If I would have been thinking,I might have been able to mount that 1" one on a frame rail somewhere,which would have been better.
To lock two lids,you'll probably have to get one of those cable locks.

Cheers!
Bruce

I have these. Work great and double as a bar end weight.

Now I like those! I guess it sort of precludes using bar end mirrors,though,unless you have room to clamp them around the end of the bar.

This is not for everyone, but i bought one of those pushbike cable and key lock arrangements, the plastic coated cable is light but very strong feed it through the mouth of your helmets and aroundthe bike frame, cheap to buy and very secure in my opinion..(try getting through that without an angle grinder, i dont like to rely on just a strap that can easily be cut ,when my brand new shoei is the prize)

Helmet lock
I use Helmet Guardian, from Cyclegadgets.com
Easy to install, theft proof, holds two helmets, and looks good, it
looks like it belongs on the bike.

I leave my helmet atop the bike seat or take it with me - depending where I am. Often thought about a lock, but my initial method of security seems best.

Hey Big Rick,
Which barenders did you end up ordering? I got two different answers from the company... seems like it would be the 6mm ones. Any issues fitting them?
