Hi guys; thinking about a bit of security for my gt380 and gt750...
Can anyone recommend a disc lock to fit please?
both bikes are standard with stock undrilled discs, and need at least 80mm of "clearance" in order for a disc lock to fit.
this is from the disc edge to the first row of holes in the disc.
I can't find one big enough and just wondered if anyone had found something at a reasonable price that would fit. cheers
Andy.
(alternatively, what do other owners use for security for their bikes whilst out for a ride?
i'm ok at home.. i hope!)

Re: DISC LOCK RECOMMENDATION?
Hi Andy, if you mean a lock that'll allow you to leave your bikes out of your sight, I wouldn't risk using a disc lock. Any skanks that want a bike will simply lift it into a van, along with the lock, so you might as well just use the steering lock.
For a bit more security I carry a quality cable lock, which might take the skanks a bit longer to steal your pride and joy.
However, I've just watched a video of a gang of skanks with a cordless grinder nicking bikes in London, in broad daylight and on a busy Saturday.
Bring back public floggings I say
Or carry a sawn off shotgun

Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Re: DISC LOCK RECOMMENDATION?
Thanks Steve!
I know that the best thing is to always have the bike within your sight, and to be honest ,going to the odd bike night that's usually the case.
guess i'm a bit paranoid about my bikes being nicked, having had it happen once to me.( my z650, that i'd owned for 19yrs at that point, being taken from my shed at Easter 1996)
I'd still have that bike now.
i'm gonna buy that sawn-off shotgun!
cheers
