Anyone using a disk lock on their R3? If so, what type? Their are a bunch of good brands of this type of lock (Onguard, Trimax, Oxford, Abus), but the locks come in different pin thickness. I don't want to order one and find out the holes in the disk or too small for the lock. If you have a disk lock that fits on your Rocket, let me know what brand and model you're using.

thanks.

I think I'd just get a Master Lock and put an orange tether on it (so you remember to take it off before you.......drive away).

The alarm works great and will also remind you in the event you forget to remove before you ride away..........

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I think I'll pick up a "reminder" cable too (don't want an embarassing little mishap as I take off ).

The shank on a master lock will only work on the rear. A long yellow ribbon will alert you to the installation if ribbons get your attention. The actual size of the disk holes would be helpful. I don't know what they are. I look forward to hearing shank size.

Unfortunately a bolt cutter can get a grip on a standard master lock shank. A disk lock requires an industrial size bolt cutter.

The majority of bikes stolen with or without disk locks installed are hauled off via a lift into the back of a delivery type truck (enclosed). The hassles of eliminating a disk lock are dealt with long after the bike is gone. An alarm system is the way to go; but the cost is a tad more than a pricey disk lock.

The best solution would be a ID capsule like a pet tag with OnStar GPS tacking

It would be very expensive, not 'little'. You rip the 'spyder' out of the disc and it breaks the ears on the wheel hub too so you replace the entire wheel and the brake disc plus the caliper and maybe a fork leg for just a tad less than 360 degrees of radial rotation and a split second of inattentiveness.

I'll pass on the On-Star shit. Just another way for big bruther to get in your shorts. I don't need no central operations guru monotoring my vehicle......You don't need bolt cutters for a disc lock or a Master Lock. A Co2 fire extinguisher and a small hammer will eliminate any locking device made in 15 seconds.

Carry insurance, park your bike in a conspicuous place, be attentive and hope you don't become a statistic.
