Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Locks

In the days when I had a bike which didn't have an alarm, I used a chain through the back wheel. It was at a place that didn't have any 'furniture' to put the chain around. I also put it over the driver's seat, so there was no way I could get on and ride away without taking the chain off, and the experts who apparently know say to keep the chain off the floor so there's nothing hard for them to use to saw it off. Over the back means it's kept of the floor.

However carrying a chain around is a pain.

I have a disk lock that I use on the America when I'm away for more thna a couple of days, but it wouldn't work on my 125 - hence the chain.

Go with the disk lock idea. It's easier to carry around, and as secure. Just get a reminder device. They are easy to forget about....
