MotorcycleWriter Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm really missing the helmet lock on my R1150R. Anyone know of a decent aftermarket helmet lock for the 1150RT? Thanks! John Link to comment
Boffin Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Under the seat on both sides is a little half-loop hook intended to be a helmet lock. All you need is a length of wire cable about 6inches long with a loop on each end, which passes through the helmet. I believe that the early RTs came with the wire in the toolkit but it was dropped early on. I got two lengthe made up at a yaght chandler. Andy Link to comment
scout6 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I dislike the under seat lock system, as my back seat is usually full of...well stuff! I use a big carabiner over the back of the luggage rack to hold the helmet by its d-ring when I get off the bike. For security, I have several coated bike cables and a matching set of master locks (same locks on wife's bike). I can run one through the chin bar of the helmet, and through the sleeve of my jacket to lock both on. Takes a few seconds. I really like to hang the helmet so I don't see it bouncing across the parking lot during a high wind. Link to comment
awagnon Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've used the Helmet Guardian on my RT and I'm very pleased. It will hold two helmets, or I use one lock for the helmet and the other lock for the plastic coated cable I use through the sleeve of my riding jacket. http://www.ascycles.com/detail.aspx?ID=1621 Link to comment

carolinarider Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 On my R1100RT I bought a Winchester gun lock from Wallyworld and hang my helmet on that from the rear rack..works well! Link to comment
