- I finally got around to installing this little lock for my helmet. I think it's a nice little addition and cool feature to the bike that will help to put my mind at ease when I leave the Helmet at the bike. Looks clean and meshes well with the bike styling in my opinion. They're offered in black and chrome so for all you chrome daddys with your CVO's you can install this and still look cool!

After seeing this I bought 2, I hate having to cart helmets all the time. This will give me a little piece of mind. Thanks!
They’re awesome! And it didn’t rust
Very direct and straightforward thank you sir
My pleasure man!
@@RidinDad God bless ride safe sir
You too man!
Pretty sweet! Nice video.
Thanks! 👊🏻
Nice review and install video. Well done
Thank you!! 👊🏻
Thanks 👍 for that vlog.... useful
Thanks man!
Interesting little upgrade that installs cleanly and looks fairly decent. Nice find. I'm guessing it is one of those things that probably enjoys a little squirt of WD-40 every now and then; especially if you ever park your bike in the weather. But that isn't any different than any mechanical device that you leave out in the weather. I'm going to take a good look at my sissybar mounting and see if the bolts are 1/4x20; if they are I may grab one of these to try out. My helmet lives on my sissybar when it isn't on my head or in the house. Thanks for the idea. As you mentioned; locks are to keep honest people honest. You can't really stop a motivated thief; best you can hope for is to make your stuff more difficult to steal than he has time for.
True man! sometimes a little hassle keeps them away. Y]It would work out nice if you could do the sissy bar mount. I think wd40 will help. I'll probably do it every month or two
Great video and very detailed. Just bought (and waiting on delivery) a shoei neotec II and would love to secure it. This looks perfect.
Awesome!!!! Thank you man! I had the neotec 2 for a long time. It’s a great helmet in the modular section
Very "Dad" sounding intro song. My daughters would hate it. I love it!
Lol I’ll take that as a compliment!
You’re the loctite King 👑
I put it in my cereal
@@RidinDad Blue during the week; red on weekends?
Okay, fun trivia question. Know why when you buy a new bottle of Loctite is is only half full?
@@michaelcullen9216 Lol of course. And I don't but if i had to guess I would assume maybe something with contracting or expanding in different temps? I have no clue man
@@RidinDad Loctite hardens in the absence of air; that's how it works. So to keep it from hardening before intended they have to package it with enough air to keep it liquid.
You could fit it on to the ruroc fidlock one, because on the left side where the clasp attaches there is a spot on the strap to run the extender through.
Good to know. Thank you!!
WOW!!! What a cool product! I'm currently using a Gun-Trigger cable Lock on my bike to secure my helmet, it's functional, but this thing looks awesome!! Granted $50 is a bit more than other options, but convenience is worth paying for, not to mention it's worthwhile to reward truly innovative companies by buying their new prdoucts. Thanks for making the video & showcasing the product. Impressive views so far!!
Btw, I thought your video was good. I recently started publishing my own content (on a different channel than this acct) and I realize how difficult & time consuming the process is, so disregard the whiners below (but maybe increase your FF rate in future if poss).
Lastly, I watched your review of the Bell Star helmet before purchasing mine and it was informative & helped me decide to buy it. Your video quality has improved since then too, (didn't really like the B-Roll @ start of Helmet review). Glad to see your improving the quality of your videos and keep em coming. If you upload relevant MC videos on a regular basis I'll happily subscribe.
Lastly, Blue Loctite is a necessity w MC accys. Glad you took the time to show all steps of install & highlight the loctite for new riders who prob don't know, especially when it comes to products that come with lackluster instructions cuz there's lots of em these days and detailed install instructs are helpful.
Thanks again & Keep up the good work!
I appreciate it man! And I do! Every week I upload two. Depends on what my schedule is like for content but I try to do good quality and make it relevant and interesting if it's not an install. Thank you for the video feedback man! What is your other channel?
@@RidinDad well... looks like id better go ahead and subscribe then. My channel is Sportbike sherpa. Just started it for posting ride videos but unfort my camera flew of my bike on a recent ride so it'll be a few weeks before I can get back to posting again but feel free to check it out & keep up the good work ✌
love the idea and for under 50 take a flyer and see how it works! Have fun and ride safe!
Thank you man!
That's a really great product, obviously if someone really wants your lid they could just cut the belt the D ring attaches to but what you gonna do. If they really want it they will get it. Obviously if they cut the lid belt it's not much use to them. If you have a trunk like on a touring bike they can break into that too.
It's a nice video, I'd probably attach it to sissy bar
Agreed man. Just adds a little barrier.
Do you think you could strap down two helmets out of one of those or probably better for a separate one for each? Great install vid
Thanks! It appears like there's space for 2 d rings in there but I'm not sure how you would have space for 2 helmets so close together like that. If you can figure the space issue out (maybe even use that T adapter for one of the helmets to extend it farther out) I think it can be done!
Interesting product. I use an aftermarket latch on all my helmets but if they were d-ring, I would definitely get one of these!
Can you not use that t bar adapter it comes with?
@@RidinDad here is the clasp that I use. www.amazon.com/dp/B00U2T894I?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Not sure if that adapter would work with this or not.
@@harleydave2316 Thanks for posting this; I've been on the lookout for these for a while now. I generally don't strap my helmet on but with one of these I might start
@@harleydave2316 So it's hard to tell from pics but i think it would work with the adapter. It looks like it could slide through the female end of the buckle you have at an angle. In the side out the bottom. The t bar is long enough you'd have a lot of space left to lock
@@harleydave2316 Orrrr.....you could thread it through normally with the strap loops in to it too. I think that might actually work better too
Wouldn't it be nice if HD fitted these kind of helmet locks as a standard feature from the factory using the same key as your steering lock so you only need to carry 1 key, just saying.
That would be sweet man
That would be another HD (Hundred Dollars) added to the price tag. LOL
Lol. Too too true
Thank you. How can it be used with the ratchet helmet set?
You would just slide the T shaped adapter piece it comes with through the ratchet system & attach the hole at the end of it to the Lidlox
Hello, great video! I’m going to buy it right now !
I have also another question: I have the same bike, and when I attach the battery to the battery tender, I don’t know which set is better: lead acid battery or lithium one.
Thank you! And I’m not sure which setup you have but whoever type of battery you have should be labeled on the battery.
If it’s a stock battery it should be lead acid.
On paper this sound like a good idea but I worry that if someone was trying to steal your helmet they wouldn’t spend too much time pulling it off of the mirror and they would likely just try to swipe it as they walked by and if it’s locked to the bike when they yank it they could knock the bike over. Just a thought.
That’s a valid point man. It’s possible.
An easier way is to buy a small padlock and when you park put your helmet on the mirror and the padlock hasp through the 'D' rings and around the throttle cable, brake line or even mirror stem as it's only to stop passers-by casually picking it up .... cheaper, simpler and tidier !
True, different way to do it. I like that this stays on the bike
OMG, why did this take sooo long? It’s a 3 minute install - doesn’t need that much explanation Jeeeez
It’s a 3 minute install if you don’t say anything and rush through it. I talked about it before and after, showed a close up of it for someone who has never seen anything like it. And explained my install process as I did it
Great video. Very well done. Would it be easy to pick the lock with a piece of wire or similar?
Thanks man. I don’t think so. It’s the key with the circle and notch. It’s a somewhat common key but again...,this is not a full proof thing. Just another step to help deter the theft.
@@RidinDad cheers mate. I’ll get one ordered ASAP. 👍
Sweet! 🤙🏼
just so you know: those barrel locks are very hard to pick believe me good luck on picking one of those... on this set-up just use vice grips clamp on and snap it right off in 5 seconds this is a very weak set-up that shaft is a joke it will snap off like a pretzel... just say`n i would think there is another way to lock a Helmet then this... i was just using a gun cable lock for like $25 YEP it worked great many people use these...
What’s that display above your bars? Good video!!
Thank you! It’s the tuner I have. It’s the power vision by dynojet
I did a video on the install of it and everything as well if you wanna check it put
ok, maybe a silly question. But if one were to remove the set screw wouldnt a thief be able to unscrew the locking mechanism, there by defeating the lock?
Yeah they would. It’s hidden and extremely small though. Not a typical Allen size someone would be walking around with. Nothing is full proof man. It would be hard to unscrew the main insert without the key too.
Thanks for your reply. I think when I get mine I will put some loctite on it like you suggested. Should make it a little more difficult.
Yeah that screw is so tiny man. You’d have to walk around with a full Allen wrench kit to remove it lol and That center pin that you push in and out in the actual insert rotate freely so you’d have to be able to grab the inside with something strong enough not to bend wall trying to unscrew it
I mean if there’s a will there is away of course. But there is so much steps in between the thief and the helmet that in my opinion it’s a pretty good deterrent
Can I use this one on my 2013 Street Glide?
Should be able to. I believe it’s the same bolt sizes on the controls
Hey buddy, I just installed one, whats your opinion after having used for awhile now? im a little concerned about the lock giving me some issues, lock itself seems pretty cheap, im not talking about someone stealing the helmet, just how has the lock performed for you with use? Thank you, Dan
I e not had any issues at all with it. Just lube the interior with wd40 every once and a while. I have no signs of wear. Still smooth
@@RidinDad awesome, thank you
No problem man
What about using it on a Streetglide Special
Sane deal. Anywhere that has the same style bolts as I used. A street glide has those
What’s that Craftsman tool, please?
I have no clue what the name is for it but I'm sure you could find it on google or something similar to it. It's just a t handle socket tool essentially with that middle swivel piece. I purchased mine in person at Ace Hardware years ago
Great product. Too bad it won't fit my Can-Am Ryker. Thank you for the video.
Thank you! There’s no where to mount it on that?
@@RidinDad Yes, but the bolts are 3mm Allen. Would that work?
Just depends on the style of the top of the bolt and stuff
@@valerioventura There's nothing special about the bolt. Any allen head is going to fit. Go to the hardware store and get one with the threads you need.
Can you put this on Honda cbf 125?
You can put it on anything you want that has the availability of a screw and just find a screw from the hardware store that works
Where did you get it
At speed Kings. The link to the product is in the description
In Europe or mainly England most men know how to keep their ' helmet ' safe !!!!
In fact I fully protect my helmet 24 Hrs a day even when its in a very dark and damp place.
Luckily a warm dark damp place.
No need for a little lock on my ( oh what rhymes with lock) .
Sorry but you left yourself wide open.
LOL touche man! well played
can this helmet lock be installed on a kawasaki versys 1000?
Probably be installed on any bike you have man. Wherever there is a bolt that has space on top of it. You can always go buy a different bolt at a hardware store too if the thread pattern or size is slightly off
@@RidinDad Thanks a lot.
👊🏻
Looks good but dont think it will work with fidlock tho :(
Which one is fid lock? Is that the buckle you add on for quick detach?
@@RidinDad its magnetic on Ruroc i wrote it a bit early cause you mention magnetic right after i commented so my bad sorry dude
Ah ok lol. Yeah I don’t think so. I’m not sure how the straps attach to the buckle system but if there are any areas you could squeeze that metal t bar in to it should work for you
Cool vid, but the music that was playing sounds like your baking cupcakes not working on Harleys
Thank you man. And I try to change it up we video. I do different genres
The best way is to keep your helmet on your head, even on terras, cafe swimingpool , sauna
etc.
Lol noted man
@@RidinDad better way set a trip wire to a shotgun shell and when the thief try’s to take your favorite helmet let’s face it we all have a favorite helmet and he triggers the Kevlar trip line by pulling on the wire and boom
Seems like a public safety issue lol
@@thepunisher8078
Or put extreem glue in the helmet....oh maybe not so smart....
Lol yeah that would be a tell tale sign
Fitaki smart helmet lock works much better for me . not promoting it but it is good .
Seems like it’s a different country sorta deal. Can’t find any over here when I searched it.
I installed mine few mth back but couldn't unlock.I guess the spring inside damage.
Make sure the tiny set screw isn’t too tight also. If it’s too tight it prohibits the inside mechanism and key from turning. Kind of warps the channel
@@RidinDad already unscrewed the tiny screw.But I still can't unlock it.
Weird. Did you try contacting the company? Maybe they can send you a replacement insert. I’ve never had any issue with mine
@@RidinDad i haven't contacting e company yet.I can't believe tat tis could happened.I tried few time turn e key right left but still nt able to unlock it.
Very weird. Is the key turning?
*Helmet straps can be easily cut with a scissors. I think this not the safest way.*
I know. I talk about that. What way do you think is safer?
@@RidinDad Use metal Cable lock to lock helmet to front fork of motorcycle. This is what I do.
You can cut a metal cable lock too. See what I’m getting at?? There’s always our way around anything. And if you cut the metal cable lock you still have a perfectly usable helmet. If you cut the strap then you really can’t sell the helmet or use it properly after that
I had a bad experience with this product and took it off. The keys are cheaply made and the locking mechanism broke. I had it on less than a year
I've heard this more than once now & I'm hoping they fixed some issues or I just have better luck. The keys are pretty sturdy for me. I turned them fairly harshly and they didn't bend or anything
Ridin Dad check out Torch Industries, they make some awesome bars for the challenger. Check out Carey Hart IG page. He has a custom Challenger With the Torch industries handlebars
Sweet. Will do! Thank you!
i parked out in front of jack in the box front doors like 5 feet on my 1975 FXE and no one inside no one outside so i ordered it took like 4 mins to do this and i walked back to the harley and yep the helmet was gone it was a 3 week old harley davidson helmet from the dealer... i was so pissed off and still no one in the parking lot ??? it was very fast who every took it... i was in there like 4 mins and parked in front of the doors at jack in the box i was shocked how fast it was gone... just say`n i should of took it in with me or locked it up... but in front of the doors like 5 feet and in there 4 mins and no one in the restaurant and no one outside ??? come no man this is how people get hurt stealing your helmet..
That really sucks :(
I always carry my helmet with me everywhere. I never leave It with the bike.
They will cut the belt anyways🤣✌️
Yeah like I said it’s just a deterrent. Just gotta make it more inconvenient than the next guys
Most won't, because once they cut it, the helmet is useless.
💯
Good lock but the finish is terrible, thin cheap paint that scratches off if you look at it wrong. Should have been Powder Coated for the price.
I don’t have of those issues with mine
WRONG on cutting the straps. The straps can be replaced on my Shoei GT air easily. If you are worried about your helmet then carry it with you.
How easy?
Bullsh*t, you can't replace straps easily on any shoei helmet. If you want to have it fully functional, you have to put it to an authorized service center for new straps install. Btw not many people knows, that you can order any shoei with different brackets if you wish, however, the swap can be done only by certified personnel, you can't do it by yourself.. otherwise.. god bless ya when you crash
They can just take some scissors and cut the strap.
Yeah I know. I addressed that. This is not a bullet proof thing. It’s just another deterrent
Easily defeated by cutting strap. People will say helmet straps cannot be repaired but this is wrong- leaving your helm vulnerable to theft when using the lidLock.
Use a U-lock through the opening and around the chin of the helmet and secured to your bar.
To each their own. And how would a strap be repaired to factory condition once cut?
@@RidinDad likely the strap will be cut close to the buckle to preserve length. (1) heat seal the frayed ends with a lighter (2) purchase equivalent nylon strap from REI or other climbing store (3) feed strap along previously cut section, loop through buckle (4) ensuring at least 8 inches of overlap, anneal straps with e6000 craft adhesive (5) reinforce with stitching (6) sew any section of fabric covering the nylon strap that you had to cut in order to perform previous steps
Ok
it's there to keep the honest thieves out
