Helmet lock for standard grip?

[peanut]

I new GZ has a missing handlebar balancer on the throttle. I don't like the open hole there, so I'd like to get a new one. Found one on bikebandit (found the site recommended in the forum someplace here) for $36...

For that amount, I'm hoping I could spend a bit more and get one of those fancey helmet locks that fit there instead. I have a fullface and hear they don't secure well to the under the seat helmet...holder... :poke2: ...uh, thing. I can't seem to find any to fit the standard grip though.

Anyone come across one of these?

You can get a short (3-4') cable lock in Walmart or anyplace and put the cable through the helmet and secure it on the bike somewhere. If you get a 5-6'cable lock, you can thread it through your jacket sleeves and also secure that to the bike instead of carrying it or wearing it around.

That is probably what I'll end up doing. The reviews don't seem that great on them, but there are retractable cable locks. I figure I'll toss one of those in my seat and use that. But if I have to replace that balancer anyway.... I might as well try for a cool accessory. :tongue:

Well I think I found what I'm going with. They make extensions for the helmet lock under the seat.
