Isn't that what the sissy bar is for?

I have a solo bar, too short to hold the helmet

Used to have one until I changed out my controls which used a different thread. I'd hang my helmet by the clasp then slip a little padlock over the stud. The piece of crap helmet I have probably doesn't interest anyone now anyway.  Wink

My helmet fits nicely (you wouldn't want to jamb it) on my Ultimate
backrest...

I have an old Shuberth helmet that used a fork type fitment. I'm thinking of stitching a loop with a D-ring on it, to the strap to use the common helmet lock setups....

Yes, they're great.  One bit of advice, though - use a threadlocker on the nut.  Getting and maintaining the proper tension on them can be tricky and I've had one fall off.  Too loose, and they're gone.  Too tight, and the lever won't move freely.
