The helmet loops, located under the seat, didn't work with my helmet without an extender
My Projekt D helmet locks arrived today (actually yesterday, but I wasnt home and it needed a signature). But the reason for my post is that my locks are of the same style as my bike keys, meaning the offsets are on the same sides. I placed one of the Projekt D provided keys in my saddlebag lock and it goes in and out with ease. So ........ does that mean I can modify the helmet locks to match my bike keys? and if so ..... how?

Take it to a locksmith and get a professional opinion.
Take it to a locksmith and get a professional opinion.I think I will do just that. I'll ride by nd ask them what they think and post back the answer.

I mounted it all up today, pretty straight forward with no issues. When I first put it on though, I didn't like the chrome like finish showing down below my black Phil's rack. So I took it back off, scuffed it up some, and painted it black. Much better now.
I kinda thought the same thing about mine. Then I thought, besides me, who's gonna bend down that low and look under there to see the 'chrome'? I left it as is.
Do these only work on the OEM luggage rack? I have a Hepco Becker topcase and rack, so I'm wondering if that will be a problem.

Have you had a chance to do this? I'm hoping that this works.
Yes i did. I went to a locksmith here locally and he said that yes, looking at the the keys and locks, that it should be possible. He said that I would need to bring in the locks and leave them with him before he coud give a 100% certain answer, but most likely it would be no problem.
If you plan to do that, please do get the details and keep us posted! You also need to tell us the year of your bike (I think they keys are the same on all C-14's, but not positive).
