These are pictures of the Helmet Guardian helmet lock bracket.
The locking mechanism can be removed from the bracket, and installed onto most anything.
This is what the mounted piece looks like:
The bail/hasp is closed covering the mounting bolt. The mounting bolt is countersunk.
Shown next -- the warding allows the Yamaha Ignition key to fit, noting that when unlocked -- you can remove the assembly or get to head of the mounting screw. There is a post by Fred H. to re-key to match your Yamaha ignition key. I am not a locksmith, and was able to do it in about 15 minutes.
Now you can see how it is mounted -- below is unlocked with the mounting screw unscrewed and pulled out to see it.
Just the locking assembly:
Back side of just the lock assembly. The two phillips screws remove the back to allow you to get to the key cylinder.
Note on the left side -- there is a mounting pin or dowell pin. On the right side is just a through-hole.
Helmet Guarding bracket with the lock removed. Where the measureing tape shows about 10.5" is the threaded boss that the assembly mounts to. At the top, you can see the hole where the dowell pin sticks in:
Back of the Guarding Bracket, showing the hole for the dowell pin (left side), and the threaded boss where the mounting bolt goes (on the right below):
If you wanted a flush mount with this (riveted on somewhere), you could easily cut a base piece (aluminum, etc.) just larger than the lock assembly -- bolt the assembly to the base piece, and rivet the base piece on most anything.
