This relocates the stock [[SDS Platform/Tank Lock|tank lock]] on [[SDS Platform]] models onto the tail as a helmet lock.
: Most motorcycle locks place a helmet on the side of the tail section.
: SDS Platform models have a [[SDS Platform/Tank Lock|stock lock]] on the frame behind the front forks, for locking in the tank bag but is also somewhat usable for helmets.
[http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=4768 How to use this lock with a flexible cable loop to lock a helmet]
When replacing the tank bag with a [[Power Tank]], [[Charge Tank]], or other tank replacement, the lock can be repositioned as it is no longer as accessible or uniquely suited for that position.
; Steps
# Pick a spot on the (left side of the) frame where there are no wires.
#: '''NOTE:''' Figure out more specific ways or places to do this.
#: {{Warning|Be very careful when drilling holes in the tail; the Sevcon motor controller and cabling are inside and should not be compromised for any reason!}}
# Tape the frame for drilling.
# Use the lock to mark the hole positions on the tape.
# Keep drill speed down a bit so the screw head will go in.
# Drill 2 small pilot holes then enlarge (up to 3/16 or 3mm; ''need to get more specific here'').
# Position the lock in a hook-down orientation over the holes.
# Insert the same screws and tighten.
The existing holes in the frame might be worth re-using or filling in.
