Title: Helmet Lock for ratchet-type chin straps
Post by: Hayeshfc on May 29, 2011, 10:32:56 AM: Anybody aware of a helmet lock that will work with the European micro-ratchet chin straps? Since there is no D-ring the standard ones will not work.

I do that sometimes, but almost always get My mirror sweaty from the cushion in the helmet. I guess I'm a sweaty pig. LOL
