Securing a Schuberth flip to the bike

[PaulinBont]

Has anyone come up with a means of securing a Schuberth flip to the bike?

Full face lids have a 'D' shackle but my lid has a metal bar locking mechanism.

Don't fancy fitting the luggage or carrying a PacSafe Helmet Bag around with me for a day out.

Cheers P

I use a metal cable lock which I strap the helmet or 2 once they are sat resting on the seat and then lock to the rear luggage carrier. The wire locks are small enough to fit in your pocket ...

Something like this works fine on my helmets

With a chin bar that would work, but with a flip up there's no chin bar to thread that cable through ??

there is a chin bar on my Schuberth C3 and my Shoei Neotec did yours fall off?????

Of course there's a chin bar... it just 'flips up'...

As the others say of course there is a chin bar... This is what the wire would feed through and will be stronger than the strap

I made a little T shaped tab out of Stainless steel sheet. It's got a hole in the narrow end. I push it through the strap behind the buckle and use a long padlock to lock it to my rack.

Thanks Al, that sounds the most secure method, so will give it a try. Someone used to make an insertable bar that fitted into the micro-ratchet and then locked the lid to the helmot lock on the bike frame but I'm assuming they are no longer in business

I use one of these pacsafe locks with my flip lid

All rather confusing this, a bit of a non problem really - just use a cheap bicycle lock through the chin bar with it in the down position and the visor open - did this in France with mine and the girlfriends helmets and it was fine - it will keep the helmet secure enough.

I use one of THESE - which will fit through the Schuberth catch system. Frankly, you could make on easily enough from a bit of scrap metal!
