Motion Pro Helmet Lock

[E-Nigma]

My previous bikes all had an integrated helmet lock on the frame. Needless to say, when I purchased my DL650 I was a little disappointed in the fact that it did not have one.

I just purchased two helmet locks made by Motion Pro. They are designed to mount on any round 7/8" bar.

The middle-upright bars on my Hepco-Becker crashbars also measure 7/8", so I mounted one on each side, one for my helmet, and one for my wife's.

I even got lucky with the keys that came with the locks. One set actually opens both locks, while the other set only opens the lock it came with, so I only have to carry one key instead of two.

The only problem I encountered was engine induced vibration. The "hook-latch" on the locks vibrate noisily in the lock housing at about 7000rpm. I remedied this by sliding some silicone tubing over the latch, which created a tighter fit.

As can be seen in the third picture, the lock comes with "one-way" screws that are not removable. Make sure you have the positioning you want before tightening.

Hey, that last one is really nice. The only thing would be a hot engine next to the helmet.

Hmm, that looks like a pretty good solution. I wonder if i could mount it such that the helmet wouldn't be upside down. I hate to collect dust and rain inside the helmet.

By the way, your bike looks absurdly clean. Also, what is the 'nautilus' thing attached to the cylinder head?

That thing is a very loud replacement horn and I'd like to know how it was mounted.

The lock will actuall fit the handle bars. I looked at this. You can mount it in the middle of your handle bars, hang you helmets on your mirrors and use the cables provided by Suzuki to lock your D rings to the lock. I haven't verified the cable part, you may need a different cable.
