Hey has anyone tried to fit the Helmet lock for the Panigale V4 onto their V2? I’m curious as I hate carrying around my helmet during short trips.
 
Maybe that's a viable solution to keep the wind from blowing your helmet around, but a motivated ....... with a pair of scissors is still going to get it.

Lol it’s more for the fact of not having to carry my helmet into the coffee shop or risk it falling down from the bike.
 
Fair enough. For the effort, you could just wrap the chin strap around the passenger pegs. Not that they get used much on these things.
 
My helmets were $1400 bucks. I would put a steel cable through the visor opening and lock it. Maybe even just run the steel cable through the triple clamp.
Yes a real theif would have it in seconds regardless. But the opportunist ..... walking buy won't knock it off or walk away with it.

I did a test while designing a new bike lock. The police told us it was hopeless and in fact we bought every lock on the market and there were none we coudn't get through in 3 to 15 seconds with inexpensive tools. The most exotic tool is liquid nitrogen which turns steel into glass. So we made a new totally bombproof lock.
Not on the market. I should actually produce that, it was super cool.
 
The problem with portable locks is that if they are effective against a reasonably prepared thief then they are not portable. There is plenty of security vids showing guys in London (bike theft central) just pulling up in a van, sliding the side door open and lifting the entire bike in and gone in about 10 seconds of less. Airtags or a similar gps tracker with its own battery hidden away is an option but the cops may or may not do anything depending on local laws.

Some kind of heavy multi strand wire and a good padlock is about all you need to deter opportunists. I just pay insurance and keep the bike at home and very rarely leave it out of sight for long.
 
Here is my fix, works great on small trips - don't need the lock and your helmet isn't going anywhere.

If on a long trip, just slip the lock through it and you're done.

Extuff Helmet Hook

A customer (Dave S. in Ohio) sent us an email, and said he would like to be able to get one of these hooks. After taking a look at the hook I thought this is...
