I can't find any helmet lock hook or device.
Others may have varying opinions concerning helmet locks - But here's mine;
I find the need a bit over rated. Seems that when the bike isn't in the garage waiting for me, it is in motion, I am in the saddle and the helmet is firmly affixed to my head. I use standard 1/2 and 3/4 lids, solid colors, and allow the outside to 'age' gracefully. On the occassion that I stop, I routinely leave the helmet, unlocked and draped over the bars or lashed to the rack. I've never returned to find it missing. That all may be a bit different with dolled up, pretty boy paint jobs, and super high tech full faced jobbies. But if it ain't pretty or fancy, It seems that ripping off a used helmet is similar to stealing a pair of dirty britches. My thought on that is that is some poor bloke is hard up enough to take it, he/she needs it pretty badly.
If you feel you really need one, and if you have a backrest/rack, my best advice is to locate it in a way that will enable placing the lid 'top up'. Like someone in a previous reply said, it will just catch water like a bucket. If that happens you might wish someone took it...
