[cougar]

Not in the box. Use a good bicycle chain chain it to your handle bar. Your normal side lock for chin strap will be cut off.

[haoKR]

carry ur ff whenever,whereever u go

[wait4me]

unles ye cost 150 -200 and dun mind losing the helmet so that u can get another wan

As recommended, invest in a good bicycle lock or two.

I've been locking my FF to my bike for years w/o any issues.

 

Nowadays FF are relatively cheap,

I do not recommend locking a Shoei, Arai, AGV...etc to the bike. Too attractive, and those f8cktarts thieves w/o assholes will be too tempted to leave it alone, due to their retarded brains.

Why bother to even tempt them in the first place knowing there are such bo liao people around? And then when helmet get stolen, start complaining.

 

Carry helmet with you for peace of mind.

[wait4me]

even with good lock , those "ppl" will steal try

and worse

 

spoil yr helmet ,and vandalise yr bike ...

worse ....

not worth it lor

i dun lock it at the D-ring, cos all they have to do is cut that part off, go helmet shops along jlb besar and repair it.

[cougar]

Are those aluminium hecker or something brand top box tamper proof?

[sihan0110]

once they repair the D ring i believe it not that strong as original.

[CSV]

carry it around with me, safer and i look cool. gotta make sure the helmet is the lighter kind. my 1.6kg is fine for me.

you mean hepco & becker? still uses a key lock system...

if they are that desperate to cut it, i dont think they really bother if its that strong or not.

to each their own, i find it very troublesome. everywhere you go, need to find place to put the helmet. if the foodcourt you go very packed, want to take extra seat to put helmet also paiseh.

ff lock on bike? is like an arai ram 3 locked on bike. both equals to recipe for disaster

[xavw]

saw an AGV K3 FF helmet locked to a Harley Davidson that day. It was locked using something like those laptop locks. Those wire type. locked with combi padlock.

[kzyap]

sometimes i lock my k3 on bike also i use a helmet bag to cover it. but now u all said ppl will tamper i will think twice to locck on it. but like dragonforce said really v troublesome sometimes when carry everywhere. like a "burden" if u noe what i mean haha

[xavw]

how much did your k3 cost you?

[Rol]

If you lock it to your bike, you'll constantly worry about it being stolen and won't enjoy whatever you are doing cos half your mind is worrying. Haha at least that is me la...money lost is one thing...the other problem is without helmet you hafta leave your bike there and take some other transport to and fro to get a spare helmet...

[kinwei]

I lock my FF to my bike using the D-Ring. It too troublesome to bring around. Anyway it not an expensive FF. If stolen, then let it be. Just don't scratch my bike.

[RicO]

there's once i left a normal helmet n a ff helmet on my bike, the normal helmet got stolen but my ff is still there.. lucky or suay? lol

What kind of bicycle lock do you use to chain your helmet to the handlebars? Surely not the flimsy wire kind right? Where can I get a good one?

This will be good enough. In fact, any locks of a respectable brand will be ok.

You should be able to get good quality bicycle locks from Handifix or any DIY stores.

 

For the last time, we are not looking for 100% theft proof stuff, just theft deterrent which is better than nothing.

Exp helmut, best is carry on hand. My arai in givi box also kena kiao. Haiz.

[Wormwood]

I usually lock the helmet on the bike with the helmet bag on IF it's parked in an area where I don't think it's likely to be stolen. The helmet is less likely to be stolen in the underground car park of an office building than in an open air HDB car park.

Here's what I do normally.

 

Have those cable type bicycle cable (not chains, too heavy and clumbersome) with combination lock.

 

When I don't use it, I'd roll it and store in my passenger seat.

 

If I am going for meetings where it won't be easy to carry a big helmet in tow, I'd slid the cable into the FF and right into the handlebar or any part of the bike frame.

 

Nope, no helmet bag. The more you hide things, the more these "itchy hands" wanna uncover and see what's underneath.

 

Let it out in the open.

 

So far so good.

 

Of course, like mentioned, it is just a deterrent and does nothing else cos the lock can be broken fairly easily too albeit it'll take like 10 mins to do so and not worth a try for potential thiefs.
