Default Cant figure out how to lock helmet under seat

2003 Suzuki Katana 600. I have no hooks under the seat to hook the D ring of my helmet to like I did on previous bike I've owned. If you have any suggestions, that would be great. I don't know if there is on, and I'm just not seeing it, or if I should rig it somehow?

I'm not positive, but I think it's on the left side, right above the passenger peg mount.

If it's like mine, the hook is on the key post for the seat. You turn the key to the left to open it.

RTFM!

Hey thanks man, I bought the bike brand new in early '04, but never needed the helmet lock until now. It was right above the passenger peg just like you said, although I wish it was under the seat like most other bikes.....kinda hard to get the D ring in there......Thanks again.

Are you wanting a hook that you don't have to remove the seat for? My 04 Kat has a hook under the seat that you have to lift the seat up to use. Other than that, I only have the one by the rear peg which I agree is a pain to use...

I made a short cable (about 15") that I use when I need to lock up my helmet. It stores easily.

FWIW, I never use that lock. I always carry my helmet into my destination so I know it's safe. I do, however, RTFM.

For those who have c50T's... have you guys figured out how to insert the key to the helmet lock behind those saddle bags??? The bags are in the way of the keyhole!!!
