so if the firebolts have a helmet lock on them i clearly have not found it. its something that i really wish i had! i've been toying with the idea of buying a helmet lock off ebay

or something along those lines, and somehow putting it on my bike, have any of you guys tried something like this?

There are at cheaper ways to lock your helmet on your bike. Mine is just a tab I located under the rear seat on my bolt. $3 later and I'm good.

I drilled and tapped the subframe for a 10-32 bolt and jam-nut. Just pop the pass. cover, hook the d-ring, cover back on, and gone! I'll get a pic for ya tomorrow.

Lol, nope! : p

However, you can purchase them, have them rekeyed to your ignition key, and install one on your Firebolt just as I did on my Lightning : )

It doesn't bolt into any subframe on a Uly either. mount it through any plastic piece and use a piece of steel as a backer and you're good to go.

I like that. I could always use a second lock for something like a backpack I may be carrying.

Yeah it's not cheap (about $50 for the lock, plus re-keying and any extra hardware), but I really like that it looks factory and uses the ignition key.

I took it off the bike when I re-did it for my wife (it's all purdy now, and she didn't need it). I plan to install an extra on the Uly tho- on the right side.
