With the crazies out here in Comifornialand that will either take anything and everything, or just do stupid things to it if they either cant take it or just don't feel like it's worth it, I put my helmet in my top case, or just take it inside with me. Out of sight, out of mind.
There are documented cases of helmets being used as urinals and toilets out here and I'm not having any of that.
As far as the disk lock goes, you have to be ever aware of it. I have tried to drive off with mine still on the rotor....TWICE....I don't recommend doing that...lol.
Also a disk lock won't stop them from just loading the bike into a truck, or using a small trailer to take the bike.
Short of chaining the bike to a pole with something that requires days to cut through, they will get your bike if they want it badly enough.
Watch this video and see just how long they are at it WITH A GRINDER in the middle of the day and nobody bats an eye at them.

For a helmet lock I use a helmet guardian. You can see it beside my licence plate in this pic, but

Runs about $50. Just one place to get it:

An unscrupulous person with a knife in his pocket might just leave you with a couple D rings hanging there.
Often I will just sit it on the ground or hang it from the high side footpeg or handlebars.
For locking the bike, unless I am on a trip I just use the fork lock. If on a trip I carry a large cable and ask at the hotel if I can park next to the front door. Stop gap measure at best.
If a thief wants something they will figure a way to get it. They steal paintings from the Louvre for pete's sake.

lol Is this Ferret's technique to keeping his chain clean?
1. Remove chain guard
2. Point garden hose at chain and apply water at full force

Yes

The CB1100 comes with a helmet lock. if you have the honda extension cable, you can (with a little work) attach two full-face helmets to the lock.
