Anyone know how to hang or any aftermarket parts to hang your helmet for locking or transporting a helmet on the 1199?

Found it from another forum. Posting just in case anyone wants to know.

from the owner's manual:

Seat catch and helmet pin
Opening
Fit the ignition key into the lock. Turn the key clockwise
to detach seat from frame. Pull the seat backwards to
slide it off its front holders.
On the rear end of the compartment underneath the
seat, there is the helmet fastening cable (1) (see page
34). Insert the cable into the helmet, slide the end of the
cable onto the pin (2). Leave helmet hanging outside and
refit the seat.
Warning
This system is intended to lock your helmet safely
when you park your motorcycle. Never leave the helmet
hanging outside when riding or it may get in the way and
make you lose control of the motorcycle.
Closing
Make sure that all parts are arranged and secured
properly inside the compartment under the seat. Slide
the front ends of the seat bottom underneath the frame
U-tube and push down on the rear end of the seat until
you hear the catch click. Make sure the seat is firmly
secured to the frame and take the key out of the lock.

Thanks for looking, but that's not from a Panigale owners' manual. No such helmet lock cable on the 1199. I just hand mine to my pit crew!

for your nicer helmets, take them with you.

for your expendable helmets, a cable and padlock anywhere on the bike (place the helmet on the ground) should suffice.

Thanks for the reply and advice. Just found out that I dont have one either. I pulled that info from another forum with someone asking the same question.

Sato racing make helmet locks which attach permanently to the bike.

when I was 17 and locked a $39 helmet (1978) to my Honda 175 trailbike while I was in the bike shop some bastard came and cut the helmet strap and stole the helmet. Leaving the two d rings locked on the the helmet hook. That was a lesson in life.

Now my new $1100 helmet comes with me, still have not forgotten from all those years ago.

Hello Delta One. I saw this: SATO RACING | Helmet Lock - Ducati 1199 Panigale. Have you had any experience with it or do you know anyone who has? It looks like the helmet would hang pretty close to the header pipe? I sure would like to find something that works and doesn't look too bad!
