Helmet lock unusable?

[emptysea]

yeah, the helmet lock is not in the optimal position, but it's far better than most other OEM systems I've seen out there. My wife's CTX has an under seat lock that's a complete pain in the butt. Fortunately, her system includes a short length of cable with a loop at each end which we use to tether both helmets to my lock. It's a little tight, but it works for us.

I have no difficulty whatsoever using the CB's lock for just my helmet, but I'd suggest getting a short cable like the one Honda supplies for its under seat locks to buy yourself a little more room.
