BarEnder Helmet Lock
The BarEnder™ lock is designed to give you years of use. Made in the USA out of stainless steel to last, and stay looking good. The BarEnder™ can be used on all hollow type handlebars. The BarEnder™ is made to fit 7/8 in., 1 in., 6mm, and 8mm handlebars. Please note that 7/8 in. and 1 in. measurements are O.D.
The BarEnder™ has a security key mechanism, and the product has a clean appearance. Hanging your helmet at the end of the handlebar keeps it away from exhaust pipes and saddlebags. It also keeps it off of the seat or mirror, where it has a chance to fall off or be taken. With some jackets, the sleeve can be pushed onto the handlebar, and the helmet locked at the end of the handlebar. This way the jacket can not be removed over the locked helmet at the end of the handlebar.
At present, BarEnder™ locks will fit "hollow" motorcycle handlebars that have a diameter of either 1 inch or 7/8 inch O.D., and "solid" or blocked handlebars having a permanent end fastening nut of 6 or 8 mm. We have found that some models and modifications may not be compatible with BarEnder™ locks, especially when it comes to the 1" and 7/8" models. For example, existing handlebars with chrome end caps aren't compatible, unless the owner wants to remove, or modify the end caps, because that's precisely where the BarEnder™ locks will be installed. Motorcycles with heated handlebars using an internal routing of the wires inside the handlebar tube may not be suitable, because the expanding pressure seal of the BarEnder™ lock inside of the handlebars may damage the wires, if they are in the way of the lock bar. Your helmet will fit if it has "D" rings on the chin strap, or some other small, preferably metal fastener with an internal diameter of 1/2 inch. Please see the attached copies of the installation instructions and the pictures of a helmet fastened to a BarEnder™ lock. |
