Not sure if you mean while you are parked and out for the day or taking them off and storing them while you are riding.  I made a 1/4" cable and crimped heavy duty eyelets, so I could wrap the rubber coated cable anywhere and lock helmets or a leather jacket if needed while we are off the bike.  I made several sizes for different applications.  While riding two up my wife always wears her FC helmet.  If I ride without it I only have to store one and put it in the tour pack and just stuff something inside it if room is an issue.  I rode without a helmet for decades, now with Tinnitus in both ears I use ear plugs and a helmet to protect my hearing.  Lots of ideas on this post.

Neither of us have ever worn a helmet we always have avoided states with helmet laws. This trip we can't do that so we will have them on only while traveling through those areas. If we can find a comfortable half helmet I could see not worrying about storage and just wearing them because that would be easier then taking up valuable space.

That be it! Thank you Mr. Warlock

When we were riding through states with no lid law, we just put them on the BBQ rack and used a cargo net over them.

I use a saddlemen tour pak rack back I suspect that is where I will secure them while not in use. Thank you all for the responses. I'm open to suggestions on a comfortable half helmet that has a minimal mushroom head look!

I seldom wear the helmet and the wife always wears hers. If riding and not wearing the helmet I put the helmet under a cargo net on top of the tour pack rack.

When we stop for lunch or to sight see we just leave them sitting on the seat. Have never had a problem. But with half or 3/4 helmets the only way to secure them to the bike is through the "D". Not the best solution but probably enough to keep an honest person honest. After all that is all a lock is good for, if they really want it they will find a way to get it regardless of the locks.

I have used a bicycle cable lock to secure the helmets to the luggage rack when we leave them for extended periods of time. At night they go in the room or inside the tour pack.

I got an Akoury and it is the smallest lightest DOT cert. helmet out there IMO. It's only slightly larger than the novelty brain bucket I bought and my wife won't let me ride with! The price ain't bad either.

Is that the normal size you'd wear... IE: if I have a large now and got a large from them they would fit the same... little leery of buying helmets online w/out trying them on for fit/comfort.

Good question. I just checked the sizes on my other helmets. I have two HD and two Bell helmets , all of them size large. The Bells fit perfectly and the HD helmets had a couple of pressure points but are now comfortable after wearing them a couple of times. The Akoury fit just right from day one. Hope this helps.
