Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Abus Granit Quick disk lock

Got tired of carrying the abus disk lock around so decided to buy the holder for it (SH37). This is a simple bolt on kind of thing, but I can´t actually find anywhere suitable to bolt the thing to.
Anybody else using one of these and how did you attach it ?

I'll answer your question mate - I have the Abus disc lock but I must admit to never using it!
I must attach it to the bike and then I'll use it more!
It's too heavy to put in your pocket and I don't always have the panniers on.
Seems a good tough lock so I'll take your lead and fix it to the bike .. er .. somwhere!

Slight pause while I go and look at the bike.
I figure with a little careful use of a knife, the carry case it comes in could be cut and an 'aftermarket' buckle strap could fix it to the rear chrome rack I have fitted instead of the pillion seat.
Use the lock and at least the carry case will stuff into a pocket.
Thanks for the post and reminding me I have the lock and that I should use it ....

Hi Adrian,
You´re right, its a good lock but too heavy to be carrying around in the pocket. Dunno about England but you need a second lock here in Sweden as an insurance requirement.
I never thought about using the case, seeing as I shelled out on the proper holder, without off course checking to see where it might fit. I found a potential spot where the frame cradle comes up under the tank. There are 2 bolts there joining the frame together, but I am a bit wary of messing with these. Failing that it´ll have to be some bodging or back to the stretched pockets.
Cheers

Second lock? I don't even use a 'first' lock !!

I rely on the alarm / imobilizer.

I never lock the steering because those locks are worse than useless. A clout with a hammer or well placed boot will, and has, dispatched them!!

I really must start using the disc lock though. I have just bought a tool roll for the front and, until I can sort a holder out, it will no doubt fit in there.
