Gainesville Fl Home of the Gators | I saw that Big Joe posted a vidio for his Kewlock helmet lock, and figured I would share this story over here............
So I have this collage kid with a sweet 08 Vegas. His parents got it for him for graduating with honors from HS. The only condition was that he HAD to wear a full face helmet. Now the kid has chops, and rides every day, everywhere. When he got the bike he bought one of our bad ass Scorpion lids, and it lasted a month before some scum bag stole it on campus. The second one lasted a couple of weeks, and this kid was hating life. Almost $400 in lids in less then 2 months was going to seriously cut into his food budget.
I remembered seeing Kewlmetal had posted locks for the Vision so I made a call to see if Joe could send me a set for a Vegas. Sure enough they were ready, and he shipped me a set. As soon as they arived I called Jake[the kid], and had him come in. Install was easy and relativly quick. The locks were secure, and the inserts went right on.
Today the kid came in with a hang dog look, and as I splutered out "Dude your shitting me". He broke into a smile. Seems he walked out of class today, and his was the only bike that still had a helmet on it.
So that means the new KewlLocks are now tested against the future engineers of America. Good Job Guys |

You need a program that can reduce your picture to 80 kilobytes or less. I happen to have an old Adobe Photoshop elements program. Then, after you make a post, and before you submit it, check the little box titled "attached a file after posting". This little box is below the big box where you do your typing.

VA | Nomad, question for you. Do you have to use the helmet lock extenders, or will they lock the metal buckle without it. I still want them, just curious. Also, how much did you pay? WHen it first came out it was $90, went on the website and now they are $120. Maybe we can get some group discount or something. Oh well, either way, I want them, so I'll probably shell out for them. |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | A friend of Vision-Riders (Steve Stoddard) has an online image resizer (dimension-wise) which will scale photos down (and therefore file size):

You know, I only tried one helmet without the extender, and it did not work. But the D-rings are different on all my helmets, so I will try some of the others. The price was $119 direct, but I'll bet you will get lower deals when vendors start stocking them.

, FL United States | I got mine in the mail last week. Installed in about 10 minutes and I'm NOT very good w/ tools. Used them on a lunch ride yesterday & found that they only work w/ the extenders. Our 2 helmets' D-rings won't fit into the Kewl-loks. Look good & work great! No more carrying the "lids" around w/ us, whoo-hoo!!!!!!!!!!! |
