Thinking about a new helmet (Shark Evo-One) but it doesn't have D-ring -- uses the micro-metric buckle instead. So my question for anyone who has such a buckle, how do you attach helmet easily to the bike? Assuming the helmet lock on bike will be of no use. I do have one of those Aussie made HelmetLoks but it does not appear large enough to attach to seat rail or MP3 rack. Any ideas? Thanks!
Is that a full face or modular helmet that has a chin bar? If so, I have solved that problem with a 3ft length of plastic covered cable with a loop in each end. Just run the cable through the chin bar and around the passenger handrails or through the luggage rack if ya have one, then lock the loops together with a small padlock. Pretty easy to figure something out, I did.
before you buy it, check to see if it fits in either saddle bag. My Shoei Neotec, full face fits in either side on my 6.
Sounds just like my Nolan helmet. I open the chin bar & slide it over the passenger backrest & tighten the metric strap to hold it down. It's not really locked but it stays in place. Wish my open face helmets didn't have the D ring. Love it's quick on & off. I only wear the Nolan in bad weather.
Now that is GOOD to know!Originally Posted by jm21ddd15

With my Shoe full face I made a cable with a loophole on each end. Goes a round chin bar, thread loop through the other loophole, lock loop end to built in helmet lock on left side hand rail. Helmet sits on the seat.
Works great on the micrometric buckle of my N104EVO......

Thanks for the ideas . . . some good stuff here to follow up on. Cheers!
The cable that comes with a new gun works well with my Nolan 104, there's space between the latch l put the cable threw and lock it to luggage rack then put the helmet on the back rest then lower chin bar down and it stays all day.
+1 This is what I use on my helmet also! Mine slides through the gap of the buckle and the strap.
