I have never seen ANY manufacturer-provided helmet lock that I couldn't defeat with a good solid tug or two.

You can secure a helmet to a bike, but not with anything any manufacturer gives you. They are at best meant to discourage the casual thief. It won't stop the guy who is just trying to do damage, but the truth is very little will stop that guy. If you protect one thing, he'll find a way to smash another.

I do like the XENA disk brake alarms. Just jiggle things a bit and they screech your ears off. That actually tends to be somewhat effective against drunks.

sorry to see that much damage on you bike...

I loop an 18" cable through the faceplate, then lock it into my disk brake lock/alarm. I'm wear a fairly expensive Shoei, but it's plain white which somehow seems to be the least popular color amongst the kind of people who are likely to steal helmets. (Icons with wild graphics seem to be more their style.)

same... i have a Shoei rf-1100 and i am paranoid but they do seem to be not as recognized by thieves as pricey.

Yeah, the thing about Shoei and Arai is that they tend to be pretty conservative in their decoration, so they tend to look kind of "plain jane" compared to many others. On the other hand, $200 Icons with half-naked women on them look really, really cool to gangbangers and drunks.

Thanks guys.
From what I found online, the side cowl is only about $38.
So it's not that bad.

I'll carry my helmet from now on.

I learned one thing during my driving experience and my night life exp .... In nights never leave your helmet/ riding gear on the bikes.... people might think of crazy ideas when they are under alcohol influence.....

Yeah that's my worry: leave my helmet with the bike, and some idiot decides to spit/p1ss/cr@p in it for fun...

Yep I wouldn't doubt it. I checked Craigslist and didn't see anything.

Having witnessed a drunk guy use some ones helmet as a toilet, my helmet goes everywhere with me.

 

[RedLady]

That is really unfortunate. I treat my helmet like I treat my bike- it's my baby. I would be hesitant to leave it anywhere that isn't right next to me.

I run the cable to the Xena lock/alarm that's on the rear disk. If they move it, it sets off the alarm.

 

[Mrzeal]

Sorry for your loss, bro!

 

[shwafia]

I know it's a bit of a pain, but I just carry mine with me. Plus I get to pretend I'm super cool b/c I ride a bike! LOOK AT ME!!!
