V 11 Helmet Lock

[Ralph Werner]

To those of you with a full face helmet and who have used the V11 helmet lock - how do you keep the helmet off of the exhaust system?

I just put my gloves between the helmet and the muffler. I bought a pair of those helmet lock extensions to make the task easier. It is just a tee shaped piece with an eye at the end. It passes through the helmet D ring then the eye is a much easier reach to the lock on the bike.

I've got M4 carbon fiber pipes, and normally let my helmet rest against them. I've never had any problem with it.

I don't use the lock

 

 

Actually, my Leo Vince pipes cool down very very quickly, so the few times I have left my helmet with the bike, locking it with the helmet against the pipes hasn't been a problem

 

I usually carry my helmet in with me if I am going to be inside for a while, or if just for a minute, sit the helmet beside the bike.

I also bought a 6 foot long plastic coated steel cable that I store in the tailpiece. When we go to events this cable allows us to lock up both helmets and jackets. I thread the cable through a jacket sleeve and the opening in the helmet then pass both ends of the cable onto the lock. Costs about $6 at Aerostich.

Great idea - thanks!

Idem dito. I only have the titanium one. No problem at all.

The all thing is an object to be used...isn't?

adum ditto ditto (isn't that a double negative) I use my helmet lock all the time. My carbon fiber pipes don't get hot so no worries. Sorry.
