No helmet hooks sir.  Unless you install your own.

I can't believe you can't lock a helmet on this bike.  Gear will fill up the bags.....boo.

Even with my tire repair kit and mini compressor I can fit a helmet in the bag. I just stick the bulky objects int the helmet head opening and no problems with space.

I suppose a helmet hook/lock would have prevented another computer being added?  I can hear the engineers now..."You forgot WHAT?"

Many different ways to lock a helmet to the bike. This one is only cost a few dollars and takes about 1 minute
But 1 or 2 of these

remove 1 or 2 bolts that hold the rack on and this is a direct replacement for it, like this

I use a bike lock for my helmet....cost about ten dollars.  I have an extra large helmet and matching head so my cover does not fit in a side bag.   If I recall correctly most of my old Japenese bikes had the flip-up seat/helmet style lock.  I don't know why this bike couldn't have one of those low tech type locks.  I'm surprised someone on here hasn't already designed one.

I'm confused Mike, I thought you only wore one of these riding in Wisconsin, can't you just run a cable through one of the cheese holes... 
 

 

Someone probably did. The important question here is: How long have you been looking for this supposed hook?



Are you sure you have looked everywhere? Hmmmmm?

 

A long time ago someone bought a used C-14 and did not get an owner's manual. That person mentioned how he did not know about certain features of the bike for months.... I mentioned the only sad part would be if he did not know about the reverse function and had been pushing the bike backwards with his feet for all that time.

XHarleyRider is incorrect.  There is a stock helmet hook welded onto the stock frame under the seat.  I can go take a picture of it if people require proof.  I think it is an extremely inconvenient place to try and lock a helmet, but they did give you a way.

Really? Mine fits in the bag no problem. Did you try taking your head out of it first?

I think I found the hook your talking about but I'm not sure.  I located two hooks on the left and right side under the seat near the bags.  They seem like they are set too far inboard for my helmet D-ring to reach.  So, I think I must be looking in the wrong place.  Whatever the case my bike lock seems more convenient.  But for the sake of the discussion you are correct.

I believe you are correct but if you have a pic that would be great.   Thanks for your help.

On the 2011 there are helmet hooks under the seat, I assume it is true for the 2010 also.  I can't remember if it is one or two, however.

I can't speak for 2008/2009.

I didn't see any under my 09 seat

OK, I have officially gone senile.  I was remembering the hooks FROM MY OTHER BIKE.  The Concours does NOT have helmet hooks under the seat.  I apologize for the confusion and have scrubbed my other relevant postings.

I will go flog myself now...

Are you sure Max?? 
My helmet hooks are right below my yellow tail running lights...

Classic!

Ask any squid out there, sure they know the best ways to mount a helmet on their bike.

They strap it through the hole where the turn signals used to be.
