Anyone tested the steering lock for strength? my old Harley had a rigid steering lock that locked hard and dead.
the ignition operated steering lock on my new roadster seems infirm, for example given the width of the handle bars, im confident I could over come the lock with force alone without tools, which offers scope for concern....
 
I have stopped locking mine. The only thing they seem to do is get broken if thieves come along, doing damage to the bike in the process. Instead, I put a giant alarmed disc brake lock on the front. I know they won't get through that without power tools anytime soon. So no idea how strong it is, but I would wager "not nearly strong enough".
