Yes, I know helmets (and helmet laws suck) got it...

but for those who do wear helmets, where do you leave them on the bike where carrying them around isn't an option? WHen I've got my passenger back rest on, I just set it over that... but it has a tendancy to rub the rear fender. I also set it on the mirror, but that isn't the most secure location.

Not that it is much security at all, but if I'm gonna be gone for a bit, I'll at least secure the chin strap, to prevent a quick get-away.

I either wear a full-face or a 3/4, so hanging it off the bars like you can with a small helmet isn't an option (not to mention the chance of a random Colorado rainshower popping up and fills your helmet with water... lol)

Just figured I'd throw it out to see if anyone came up with a great spot I didnt think of... lol

Another benefit of the Corbin seats combined with the fact that most folks can't quickly figure out how to work the "quick release" helmet clips.  Strap the helmets through the hole in the Corbin backrests.

You put it in the Tour Pak of your new 2011 SE Road Glide Ultra!!  Where else??

If I don't have the Tour Pac on,  I hang it on my left side highway peg

I put one of those Harley helmet locks on the left saddlebag guard of the '00 SERG.  It's probably gonna catch water there if it rains, though.  I'd probably just leave it on the seat in that case.

 Crusty,

     Moved this to get you more responses. I sometimes use a HJC 3/4 Carbon but not enough to buy a lock.  I hang it by the closed strap over the front turn signal. A bit less exposed. Never had a problem... yet.

Like 103 I've got one of these on my '05.

I've  got one of those, but never use it. Too much trouble. I just end up hanging in on my right mirror or over the rider backrest. No one has bothered it----------yet. Been doing it for 7 yrs. I figure a helmet is usually fit to the person and needs to fit well,so it's not something too many people are going to steal, unless they are just being prcks.

honestly I haven't heard of a stolen helmet. Not even in Poland where the saying is everything not bolted on is in danger 

I usually have the (jet-)helmets backside up hanging down from the tour pack luggage rack. The lining protects the tour pack and rain will not reach the interior (at least not in considerable amount). So they are not in your way if you have to ride on a ferry or around the gas station but secured against falling off the bike.

If I don't have to move the bike around a nice position - for just one helmet - is over the Zumo. Serves as protection for this item too - and different to helmets gps get stolen quite frequently 

When I had a Road King without tour pack I used to strap them on engine guard and highway pegs - upside down, bad if it starts raining 

[FL54]

How about over the rear brake pedal?  Won't fall, right side up so it doesn't get wet inside if it rains and it's down low and not as obvious as on the mirror.

[slamr]

I also do the rear break pedal and also put my gloves under the helmet on the pedal.  Nobody has ever bothered it.

[Bikerdude1018]

Rear brake pedal, never had a problem.

On the Ultra I put it on my TourPak.....on my 04 Fatboy, I put a helmet lock on the Engine Guard (highway bars)

I always thought the same thing...who would take the time to test-fit a helmet, then steal it??  Chances are it wouldn't fit anyway.  However, my buddies beat-up, old, sweaty (if you have ever worn a helmet in southern Texas in the summer...) half helmet was stolen off of his bike!!  We think maybe they took it because he had some pretty funny stickers on it.

Hang it from the left highway pegs -
