Ghetto helmet lock

[7racer]

Not sure I needed a helmet lock or not, but decided to give this a try.  Basically it's a bar end helmet lock that I found that has a bolt thru it.  If you add clip ons to your Brammo, you get two nice empty bolt holes.  The good thing is that I only needed the bolt to be the same size or smaller than the bolt hole that holds the handle bar mounts and it did!

So here is the install.

I got the bar end lock from here...there might be others that work but I was looking for something that I could put a bolt thru it.

Install took 5 mins.  I bought a lock nut and a nylon washer.

Here is a pick of me removing the stock bolts that I just left in place to "fill the holes" from the handle bar mounts.

here are both sides bolted into place.
I probably could have just done with one.  Did two for symmetry.

Helmet locked to bike.




You do need the T-bar extender...though you might be able to get the D ring from the helmet thru it...I didn't try that hard.

I know these can be defeated pretty easily but was looking for something that was a bit of a deterrent. 

Also, if you can't tell, the way it works is there is a pin that pops out at unlock, and you just push the pin in to lock.

90% of the utility of a lock anyhow is just keeping the helmet from "walking away".

Looks good. Very clean install.
