Helmet & Jacket security
I'll show you my solution:
Go to Lowes and pick up a few things..
cable
cable ferrules
some solid rings
plastic coat
Cut your cable to desired length
slip ferrule over one end about 3 inches down then fold the short end back and insert into the same ferrule. Check it and make sure it slides thru your D rings on your helmet and then crimp it in place use a vice.
Install a ferrule on the other end, fold the cable thru the solid ring and back into the ferrule, pull it tight and crimp in the vice. I made 2 sizes. The short one is for just a helmet. The long one I use to secure the helmet and run thru the sleeve of my jacket and onto the lock.
The Idea is the looped end runs thru the D rings but the solid ring end wont so its secure. Hook the looped end over lock, install seat.
When you get them done, Dip them or paint them with the Plastic dip so they cant scratch your paint or helmet.
Hope that helps!

Nice idea!
When I went on my first group motorcycle ride recently, when we arrived at our destination, many of the people were using cable locks to lock up their jacket (pre-made cable locks though). Many used the designated helmet hook under the seat to lock up their helmets.
I see how this latches onto your seat, but how does all of this look after your helmet and jacket are locked to your bike?
Care to take some pictures of how it all looks locked up?
Thanks.
