I just use the helmet locks on the trunk if I dont have room in the trunk at the time.

$$ are not in question. Maybe I'm missing my built in helmet keepers. I'll go out and look. I don't recall any. Must be there.Then there's the question as to how in the heck could you lock them in? The straps are easily undone. I'm just trying to deter the quick hit parking lot thief.I put them in the box when there is room - usually on my daily commutes when pillion rider Pennyis not with me. When she is - it is the extenders for the Wings built in Helmet Keepers. I have used the $5 "T" shaped helmet extenders. I just decided to get the "Arrow Shaped" extenders and they should be here in a day or two. Gotta look classy riding about the country don't you know... :action: But... if you're really wanting to save money in the down economy... don't use anything but the stock helmet keepers... :shock: just loop your chin strap cleat through it - it all works the same. Just ease of use and looks is the difference.

I did find the hooks. I also found an extender under the trunk mat. So far I have not figured out how to open the hooks-the levers to open them are right behind the tail lights - inside the trunk
but I was busy mowing the lawn this evening and now I should sit down to some supper. I'd like to take a ride but not tonight I guess.
Here's a real puzzler. I just cut the lawn, what a pain. Then I put down some fertilizer. Why? So I have to cut the lawn more often? :gunhead: LOL that is one reason I love where I live - no more lawn! Well, not much anyway - can mow it with a weed whacker in 5 minutes
If I ever figure myself out, I'm going to be dangerous.
There's always some idiot out there waiting to steal or damage someone's stuff. It is good that he left your bike alone. I had some stupid thief wannabee try to steal my car stereo a few years back when I was sleeping in a hotel along I-5 in Oceanside CA. He couldn't get it out so he proceeded to vandalize my car. I woke up and looked out the hotel window. He saw me and bolted.I know it is rare but I had a some scumb bag cut my strap and stole helmet from the trunk lock a while back. I was parked at a mall in a space nearest the building with people everywhere. At least he didn't screw with the bike.
