Default Helmet lock underneath seat

Has anyone made a helmet-lock/hook under the seat? I already did the mod for my seat to open. I cant figure out where to place a hook so that I can attach the helmet.

The tail plastics on the sides have what seems to be where the helmet strap should go through should there be a hook under the seat, but idk if the plastic will support the pressure the helmet strap applies downward when hanging on the side. Plus, for the strap to go thru that section, I would have to drill the frame to attach the hook.

And before anyone starts yelling cuz I want the helmet attached to the side of the bike so I can ride with the helmet attached there, I want to be able to ride with a helmet there cuz I need a way of bringing a helmet to pick up the friends and then back home after dropping them off.

I personally dont go an inch without a helmet on. Not for me, but because I dont want to make my family take care of a piece of s**t body that cant move for the rest of his life.

So, any suggestions? lol

When I was thinking about getting a helmet lock I just went to amazon and there was a bunch of different models. If your talking about doing something custom then I'm the wrong guy to ask. But from what I've seen any local dealer or amazon should be able to get you the product that you need.
What kind of bike is it?

I have a 94 cbr600 F2

its helmet lock goes next to the passenger's footpeg. but that means I can only have a helmet locked while the bike is parked, and it is still easy to scratch it or get it dirty.

I actualy dont have this factory lock on my bike so I cannot replace it or something.

I got my seat to open and close with a keylock, so I dont need an actual helmet lock, just a hook placed at the right spot.

It just seemed to me like I will have to drill the holes to attach the hook, and im also afraid of plastics not holding on to so much presure. So I was looking for someone who had done it.

Ill try to take pics of my options without the seat and post them when I get home.

I have a hook on mine, but it is a different bike than yours. When its used, the helmet does rub the plastic and scratch it all up. For that reason, I rarely use it.

I just hang it around the seat, the strap where the passenger is supposed to hold on to. Doesnt lock though, so not making it secure so other people can just take it, but doesnt fall with movements and everything though.

My '91 F2 already have a stock helmet lock. Wouldn't try to ride with helmet there though, 'cause the helmet hangs fairly low on that.
My givi-case can fit a helmet, so whenever a need to bring a spare helmet i just fit on the top-box. Yes, a top box on the CBR looks pretty weird, but sometimes its all about practicality (Heck, during summertime, I leave my car at home and use the CBR for mostly everything. CBR + top box = grocery shopping ftw ).

mine does not have that helmet lock. RIght now I tie it to the seat strap, but I also wanted something to lock it when I go to track at night or club.

I would have to change a few things to get a factory helmet lock back on the bike. So I figured I would try and make it under the seat.

I was looking online, I would have to buy a new passenger footpeg, and the lock. thats a lot more money than placing a hook under the seat lol

Looks like the helmet lock has been cut off your rearset, or that's a rearset for a different bike - F4 rearsets bolt up, but you have to cut off the heel guard to make them fit under our fairings.

Rearsets from a 94 model F2, or any F3 work with our fairings and have a helmet lock built in, but again, it's for securing the helmet only, you can't ride with one there due to clearance issues.

This is a F4 rearset trimmed down:


But I swapped it out for a F3 rearset to get the helmet lock back:
