Safe travels my friend. Can't wait for the next video!
Nice video. Been looking for a perch mount lock, and I agree the bolt should come in black. Be well. Ride safe.
Thanks for the video. Just got a new bike and this is a great way to protect my helmet!
Happy it helped! Thanks for letting me know. It's always great to hear that someone, somewhere, gets something out of this stuff. 😆
Love k up the Cherohala Skyway. Very close to dragon. A stunning beautiful ride with little traffic.
Thinking of getting my first full face and was wondering what people do with them at stops. This looks like a good solution. I may go with a cable gun lock though, and leave the helmet on my pillion.
Percy, admit you have a "too many things on my handlebars" problem and we can start your treatment.. LOL Another interesting and enjoyable video!
LMAO! Yeah. I have a problem. Such is the life of a content creator. I just need to quick being lazy and take the stuff off when I don't need it. ;-)
It looks like a good product looking forward to the review after you slay the Dragon....👍🏻🇦🇺
It's a good solution for sure. The only challenge that I had was with my Arai. VVoltz had the same issue with his Arai helmet. The strap is just a little short so you have to put a little effort into getting it positioned in the lock.
I like it.
If you ride it the Tellico Grains Bakery is a minute at the end of the ride. It's a must stop for me.
Wondering if you ride with the mirrors underneath could you turn the slit down ?
Thanks for the cool video Percy! I'm definitely gonna look.into that! I have the same Cardo for my helmet. Do you have any issues with voice commands? Thanks.
Hey Mike! The only voice related issue that I've had with my Cardo is getting Siri to fire up and work. I've recently discovered that I can get Siri to respond sometimes if I whisper "Hey, Siri", but can't get her to respond with a normal speaking voice. Next thing you know, she'll make me take her to dinner before she responds. LOL
@@withPercy lol, I'll have to try the whispering thing. I run android. Thanks.
I exclusively use LidLox. It like an inconspicuous part of the bike, when not in use. My helmets swear by it.
I have 2019 Fat Bob in the same orange color. I want to add the Memphis fairing too. Who painted yours to match the bike or did you order it that way. Thank you, Percy.
Jerry
Hi Jerry - I used a local guy here in the Northern Virginia area. I did a video on it and sizing a Road Warrior here: czcams.com/video/4K4YwP1LcXQ/video.html
Thanks for the vid. Definitely a good investment IMO
I've been jealous watching you lock your helmet and walk away from the bike. Had to follow your lead.
its not u can cut the d ring and get the quick release strap to use it
@@sLowRider114. if you cut the d ring strap the quick release strap won’t work either as it is attached there as well. However, if a thief goes that far to get your helmet, he probably won’t mind
@@VVoltz yea but if u have a strong flat head im sure u can easily wedge it out that little pin does not look solid enough to handle that pressure
@@sLowRider114. 100%. That applies to all helmet locks
Can the Lidlox helmet lock be used on a Vstar 650 classic ?
How does it work with ratchet?
Have a 2024 roadglide is there a specific one i need. A link would be appreciated thanks kindly
That’s a great question. I haven’t taken a close look at the control housings on the 24’s. But you can put the Lidlox on any number of locations. Basically anywhere you can replace that size bolt with the Lidlox. Check their web site lidlox.com. They even have a version for a license plate location.
what did you use to black out the silver part of the lock?
I painted it with an HD black frame pen.
Wouldn't work so well with the big police mirrors I have. I usually put my helmet over my hand controls or lay it on the pillion. Never had an issue. I wonder if I could utilize that with the helmet over the controls, hmmmmm. Don't know if it would work with the Ruroc either. May need a ruling form the peanut gallery.
Jay, is not ideal but if you put it at the bottom, you can leave it hanging too. However, if you have a Filock system, which is what most Rurocs do, this won't work without the adapter
Just installed mine. The locking pin is leaving a large enough gap that it slides right out.
I have a 2 piece set, and the second one is doing the same.
There's absolutely no more length.
Is it possible, I have a dud set?
Hey Tanya. That's really weird! I just installed one on my new bike and didn't have an issue. Just put some threadlocker on that puppy and screwed it right in. Did you buy it from Amazon so you can just return it then get a new set?
100%
I think about leaving my helmet every time. Imagine someone takes my helmet then I can't finish the ride/ go home
Just use a bike cable lock run it through your risers. A lot more simpler and don’t need to have that extension always with you.
I don't understand how that extender works, what is keeping it in place on the D ring?
It T’s at the end so there is no way for it to pass through the D ring. Works really well.
@@withPercy i figured it out, I bought two from Amazon and they work great!
I got one as well! I didn’t want my helmet getting stolen either
Is it working out well for you?
@@withPercy I think i used it twice so far. I usually just end up brining my helmet inside the restaurant since my go pro is attached. However in situations like restrooms I lock it up and put the go pro in my jacket. So far its a wise investment
Still unclear how this would work with ratchet style chin strap?
I'm not sure how that would work. I haven't seen a helmet with that type of strap.
The ratchet style works , lid lox's has a vid on yt that shows
these dont work u can cut the d ring u locked down and get a quick release straps to still use it
Like pretty most security widgets out there for motorcycles, this provides protection against opportunity thieves.
Wish I didn’t waste the money on it, doesn’t seem to want to go on my bike
That sucks. What bike are you trying to put it on? I’ve used it a lot since I got it and it’s worked well for my peace of mind.
@@withPercy 2023 honda rebel 300
You don’t have a bolt that size somewhere on the frame that you could use as a mounting point?
@@withPercy that’s a great idea, I’ll look through the Manual thanks!
By the time you put the piece of metal remove the cardo, remove the gopro , and then remount everything and put away the key and the piece of metal you could have cut a tree made a campfire and cooked a steak 😂😂😂🤦🤦🤦🤦
