Pretty easy to figure something out, I did.
    Haven't found the right cable yet, but I was thinking of using a cable to run it through the chin bar of my new modular, loop it around the grab handles, & the lock the end loops in the F6B's helmet lock.

    Something similar to the yellow/orange cable in this ad:

    If you just need a locking cable you can find one low priced at Wall Mart in the bicycle section.

    I use this with a 4'cable. Can lock helmet through the chin bar (or two helmets) plus can run cable through sleeve of your jacket to secure that as well. Fits well in either cubby or in the gas cap well.

    My flip fits in my saddle bag also. But in case I'm already full I carry a cheap lock stored under my fuel lid to the side of the cap. Plenty of inexpensive choices 4 bucks and up. https://www.walmart.com/ip/WordLock-...stomer-reviews

    This is the cable I use(the shorter one) and use it like you are saying. Only difference is that I use a small padlock.

    If you get one long enough you can also use it to loop through your jacket arm and that way lock up your bike jacket also.

    Cable too

    I did the cable deal too.
    At ACE I got the 1/16" SS "wire rope" aka "cable", couple ft. is plenty. Made a nice size loop each end, covered it w/ heat shrink. It's long enough to go through the chin bar or "D" ring, down to the Honda lock, when sitting on the seat. I can coil it up & it sits around the gas fill neck. Also carry a TSA lock in case it doesn't want to sit on the seat. With the cable & TSA lock you can lock it in lots of places.
    Plug: I have a XL full face NEXX only weights 2.8lbs, makes it EZ on the ole neck. Love it.

    Hey, I like that idea. I've been carrying mine in the left side cubby. The gas cap area sounds super.

    +1 on that idea. I've been keeping my cable lock in the saddlebag. What a PITA, as a result it doesn't get used much. Don't know why I never thought of this before.
