The helmet lock on the first gen Forza's is a joke/pain for sure. Anyway I picked up one on eBay that I have used in past:

Very easy install and I am very happy with it. Now I don't have to shove my helmet under the seat!

Perhaps this will help others.

Hmmm.... It might be reasonable on "normal" bikes as "better than nothing" solution, but why to have it on Forza, Silwerwing, AN, TMax etc? why do not simply lock a helmet under the seat?

Locking like that, helmet still can be stolen (thieves carry a knives). A comm device (if you have such on helmet) is still unsecured.... etc etc etc cons

Gee if you don't like the idea...don't hold back say so.

I use my Forza for errands and with any merchandise under the seat the helmet WON'T fit. In any case my Modular won't fit anyway, only my 3/4 open face.

As to the knife (heard this before) I have NEVER HEARD of anyone cutting the strap and ruining the helmet DOH.

Cao! Each to his/her own...

I’ve always used hard panniers or a top box to store my helmet. Honda say there’s room to store two full face helmets in the under seat storage on my Forza. I’ve tried it fore and aft with both my Schuberth helmets, I can get the open face in with a bit of manoeuvring, I had to do that waiting for Givi to manufacture a rear rack, with my peaked flip front helmet, no chance.

As for helmet locks I’ve never used them. I just don’t like the idea of hanging any helmet up by it’s strap. I’ve also seen riders on the car decks of ferries accidentally bumping expensive full face helmets left on helmet locks getting to their own bikes.

Yes same for me always put it in the top box and it is at the right height as well.

Plus it’s safely out of the way of anything 👍🏻
