Kuryakyn 4232 Motorcycle Accessory: Tamper-Proof Helmet Security Lock, Universal Fit for Motorcycles with 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" Diameter Frame Tubes, Chrome

it fit great

Research on this product is huge as the type of bike you have truly dictates where this products can be mounted. I did not research it enough and had visions of mounting this on my frame just above the engine mounts on the right side so that it would be somewhat out of the way while allowing me to lock my helmet up when parked. WELL, this put the helmet too close to the engine/exhaust and I did not want to run the risk of burning or melting my helmet. So I tried to move it to the rear of the bike, NO GO, too much gong on back there to even attempt to mount. Next the left frame side, NOPE, wiring prevented a solid mount. So had to go with the forks of the bike. Not ideal but it serves its purpose, allows me to lock my helmet and due to the chrome finish of both the forks and the helmet lock it looks good and doesn't distract from the bike at all. Only issue here is that the tamper proof screws that come with it are not long enough so had to go to Lowes to get longer screws.I do wish the locking mechanism was spring loaded so the hook would return and self lock, this seems like it shouldn't be that hard of a function that could have been designed into this, but knew going into the purchase this was not the case so this is more of a suggestion or be aware before you buy that you must return the hook to the up position and relock to get the hook to stay in place.All in all it again serves its purpose and allows you to lockup your helmet, just make sure you know where you are going to put it and that it will fit and the engine will not touch your helmet.Highly recommend purchasing this as well as your helmets D ring may not give you enough room to lock, Show Chrome Accessories 2-416 Helmet Lock Extension (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IUNO8LQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00)

This lock works great. It' not made cheaply. That being said, I have these two comments:1. Be sure you want it where you put it FOREVER. The tamper proof screws that come with it cannot be removed once tightened. If you're afraid of commitment go to hardware store and get your own screws. Of course, it's no longer "tamper proof" but if someone is walking around with a screwdriver and wants your helmet that bad well I guess they win that day.2. It requires two hands to lock. You have to hold the latch piece in place and turn the key to lock it instead of it just snapping into place and being locked kind of like a MASTER lock. So keep that in mind when you're placing it. If you have bigger hands then you're gonna need more room to hold the helmet and manipulate the latch and key all at once.

I made it work for me.

This is an awesome addition to my bike. I really love the way these look on my bike. They were a little more difficult to install than I expected. The instructions say to discard the factory bolts. Do not discard the factory bolts. The ones that come with the bar are too long and they will bottom out and not be fully tight. You also risk the chance of stripping out the threads or even breaking off the bolt. The instructions say to put the bottom bolts in 1st.I did this and the top bolts would not go in. I had to take the bottom bolts back out and put the top bolts in 1st.his allowed allowed me to maneuver the bottom ends of the bar around to get them lined up. But, it was worth the extra work work to get them on. I also got the Kuryakin Longhorn pegs to go on the bar.

I wanted a device to install/attach to my '08 Harley Sportster Custom to keep my helmet somewhat secure so I wouldn't have to carry it around. I know that no helmet lock is 100% effective because any idiot with a box cutter can cut the chinstrap and steal it. I assume that even dirtbags who would steal someone's helmet wouldn't steal one they just made useless by cutting the chinstrap. The second option was to have to remember to carry a padlock or pistol lock every time I rode and I didn't want to do that either. This Kuryakyn Universal Helmet Lock fit the bill. I looked at the smaller Kuryakyn Helmet Lock (7/8 - 1 1/4) but the only place I could've installed it was my handle bars and I didn't like the look of that. I got the 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 Helmet Lock and installed it to my upper forks and it works perfectly. The chrome really blends in and when my bike is parked my helmet hangs away from heat.

First, it takes two hands to lock a helmet up with this lock ... every one makes that clear, I'm just confirming.Its a very simple and straight forward design and that why it isn't over the top expensive. I went to true hardware and picked up two stainless steel star head screws to replace the screws that come with it. I did that because the screws that come with it don't allow you to remove the lock (or move the lock). That is not acceptable to me.For me a helmet lock is just a deterrent while I'm in the store or having lunch, I'm not looking for fort Knox.

Me parece que debería traer una base de goma para mejor sujeción y mejorar el sistema para que no vibre cuando no está presionado ya que eso produce ruido al andar. Queda perfecto en la moto y asegura bien el Casco.

Sold my last Harley and included the helmet lock with the bike. Bought the same lock again for my new Harley. I only use this particular brand of helmet lock as it’s an extremely well designed product that does the job - and looks pretty nice among the rest of the chrome on my Harley!! Definitely recommend this and would buy it again 😊

Need a key to lock

I have 1.25" tube and it is too big, so a waste of money for me. It needs to come with some sort of sleeve, like my Quad Lock, to fit smaller bars.

Arrived in a very short period. Required the larger size as I needed it to fit my engine guard. Excellent quality and fit. Not over priced and easy installation.

Good quality, little too big but....what can you do
