Looking at their site, I really don't get how it installs.
I agree with Max, there should be no fitment issues.I have Phil's rack mounted about 2" back and I have no issues with this helmet lock.
If you need pics, let me know.
I'd love to see pics.
Gumbi, I have mine mounted in the normal holes, I didn't know you could change the positioning.... can you take pics?
Thanks. I assume the fact that you have non-standard rack mounts doesn't really affect the helmet locks then and it'd look the same with the rack mounted directly where the OEM rack goes?

And is there somewhere to get this domestically? $25 to ship a $50 part is painful.
GRIN! Sadly I work for an international marketing company and I'm awfully jaded on the shipping thing... once I've seen a price, my brain is locked in. If ProjektD had a 75 price on the item and said "free shipping to the US" I'd probably bite. But since I've seen the price, I need to look around first. LOL There are other options out there, things that bar mount, etc.. and since I'll have the canyon cages soon, that's an option. I get that it's awfully convenient. There are other options that are convenient too that are in that 50 range, or less. What may be worth 75 in a world without alternatives is worth less than 50 in a world WITH alternatives, I guess.
For giggles I speced out an order of 5 units to see what the shipping would be...their shipping is almost linear! That's just crazy. I'd have ordered 5 of them and resold the rest.

Installed under a Premier rack pushed all the way back. They are tucked up under there but still easy to use.
Be sure to lube up the cylinders. They get pretty cruddy when riding in rain or dirt.
If it makes you feel any better, pretend the item is $75.00 w/free shipping. The convenience of this helmet lock is well worth the $75 I paid for it. FYIY, Mine arrived ~5 days after ordering it...
I think this goes down as one of the fastest farkles in the world. Lol. Got it pretty quick, installed in under 5 minutes. Seems a pretty quality unit.
