I use those helmet locks that bolt onto the crash bars. One up front for me, one out back for the passenger. After reading the reviews about lock failure on the carabinier, I'm not so sure that's a good product. Too many riders had to cut it off with bolt cutters. A long shackle Master Lock will do the trick. You can hang the helmet off your mirror and lock the DD rings to the mirror post. They sell them with rubberized casings as well.

I just wear mine all the time. I have found that wearing into public places and businesses I get faster service. Kinda nice in restaurants too, cuts down on all the noise so I can enjoy my meal....

LMAO

Reminds me of the commercial with the convertible and the ski masks...

Try walking into a bank in a full face helmet with a dark visor down,.......

I'm thinking they won't find humor in that....

On the long trips out of my home state I just wear it due to the fact that I'm surrounded by several helmet mandatory states.

FWIW I wear a half helmet and if I get to a place that I can leave it off and I decide to do that, it it gets stashed in the TP  or put under the bungie net that I use for securing our gear bag on the rack- The wife likes to wear hers at all times so I only have to "store" one while we're riding. At stops we try to park where we can keep an eye on the bike and when that's possible we just leave them on the seat. If we can't do that they go in the tourpack.
BTW I usually travel with the tourpack almost empty just so I have a place to lock up the helmets and jackets when we stop for extended periods - this does require some judicious use of space on longer trips, but we've managed so far

We just lock them in the tour pak. When I get to my room I pull out the tour pak luggage and put the helmets in. Billy

Sounds like a plan.

I cut a couple of tongue depressor sized pieces out of Titanium, drilled a 1/4" hole in each end (one end for the corner studs at the bottom rear corners of the chopped tour pak, the hole in the other end for a small lock).
Like the Gold Wing
Nowhere near as secure as a fullsize tour pak, but a very handy place to park the helmets if you can keep an eye on them.

I always wear mine and when I stop for eats and/or drinks it easily locks in one of my panniers or top box.

Got this. I like it, don't remember where I got it from though. If you're interested I'll go through email receipts to find it.

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.
