Thanks all.

You're right about the wire but my bike doesn't have it, thought it was part of the toolkit - that's the main reason for getting a new one.

At the moment I've been taking my helmet with me - becoming a pain if walking around town etc.

Any suggestions on what I could use in place of the wire, are the helmet locks that attach to the handlebars any good?

Where / how do you guys store your helmet to the bike?

Thanks

The wire they supply is probably no stronger than you getting a bit of thick electrical wire and putting an eye on each end to do the same job. It doesn't come in the toolkit, by the way! It is another part number.

I've got a small cable lock (mountain bike magazine freebie a while ago) that's just about small enough to squeeze into that box under the seat. I just lock to the pillion grabhandles.

Not the most secure thing in the world, but much better than the thin wire Ducati provide!
