I wear a medium Schuberth C3 Pro, and a medium half helmet. I put the half helmet in first, vertically and toward the rear section of the left bag, and the Schuberth goes in sitting normally, with the face shield toward the front. The lid shuts easily without any forcing. It's fantastic.

XXL Schuberth C3 Pro? Same helmet and size as me, and mine fits in the bag...BARELY....and it will only go in a certain way (setting helmet on open lid of bag, shield facing towards front of bike).
I often will hang it on my mirror or just bring it with me because it sometimes takes 10 tries to get the lid to shut with the helmet in there.

I wish I could lock up my helmet. Just won't fit.
I don't leave it on my bike anymore... once (long time ago) someone dumped a soft drink into my helmet. Now I take my helmet with me if I'm ever out of eyesight of my bike. It's a P.I.T.A. but better than a nasty helmet... or coming back and seeing no helmet at all...

This is the same method I use. You only have to fidget with the lid a couple of times to find the right location for the helmet. It's kind of in the middle of the bag, shield forward, if I'm remembering right. However, I only had to fidget with the first time, and now that I know, it goes right in its spot. Probably to do with the relative size of the helmet in question.

The Honda tech assured me that NO full-face helmet would ever fit in the 2018 saddlebags. The Tour trunk is supposed to accommodate two helmets, as long as they are canted toward each other, with visor facing the rear. At XXXL, I have a really big head (like so many in Hollywood), so I'm happy just finding a helmet that fits. Keeping it locked up would be fantastic, but that's never going to happen.
