my z1000sx hasn't got such a thing as a helmet lock,i didn't notice one on the gtr1400,has it got one,i know you can put it in one of the pannier's,i will probably only use the pannier's when needed for a trip.
As far as I know, the gtr dose not have a helmet lock thingy! my zzr dose. but very rarely use it. I would rather carry my helmet with me, comes in dam handy if you get into a fight :grin: either get yourself one of theses.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OnTour-Motorcycle-Helmet-Cycle-Cable-Lock-600mm-/250670852577?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a5d25a9e1 or bung it in your pannier. or the next time your drag to the supermarket by the wife :sad: have a look at the bike magazines. that's where I got mine from. it was free with the magazine :smiley: there small enough to carry in your pocket. I also don't use my panniers unless I'm touring, but I do I've a bagster tank cover and bag for those local ride outs as seen in this pic. p.s "the bagster set up" dose come in the not so nice colour as well :wink:

cable lock from bq , then tie around the grabrail and seat , we secure both helmets like this
Mr tapps..! another good idea is to fit a hugger to your new gtr. I've fitted the skidmarx hugger, think mine was £80.00 there good quality and easy to fit and do a excellent job of keeping the :shit: of the rear suspension and rectifier, another good idea is to fit a headlamp protector. I'm not sure of the exact replacement cost from kawasaki for the headlamp should a stone flick up and cracked it. but I'm sure it would get this result :shocked: for the sake of £25.00 for a headlamp protector, I think it's a no brainer :smiley:

When we go on long trips I use the wire type cable lock for helmets, and pass it through the pannier handles as well as the grab rail so the panniers can't be lifted. Mine is a 2009 model, and yes I can remove the panniers without unlocking them, despite what Mr Kawasali says and the modified orange brackets.
Helmet lock? Top box! Holds 2 lids. :grin:

What!What Wahhht!
The paniers are easily nickable from the 09 please :no: So additional cable to secure them becomes essential :censored:
