Security Options - Bobber?

Hi, you can never have too much security!!
There are a couple of threads on here about trackers and disc locks, have a hunt if you’ve nothing better to do, failing that im sure people on here will be happy to show they have some knowledge!! I have none!

 

Agree with crispey - you can never have too much security these days.
Not sure about alarms anyway - had one on my T100 and was never convinced that it wasn't quietly draining the battery or that it would leave me stranded one day with a faulty immobiliser.
The best method is still a hefty padlock and chain and fixing the bike to something immovable - fine but you have to carry it around. I have a huge Oxford one with an alarm but you need a van to carry it in! Have a lighter, Abus city chain with integrated lock which I can carry on either bike and two disc locks for the front and rear wheels. I usually, depending on how you can park, roll the front wheel up to a kerb and use the locks against the calipers so the bike can't be moved.
Have thought about a tracker but not really done enough research yet to know which one to look at.

 

+1 the Xena alarmed disc lock (XX14) for relatively cheap out and about security.
(It will go off at slightest movement ie somebody sitting on it)

 

Xena alarmed disk lock with cable link piece and cable. Nice bitbof kit, not the heaviest of gear, bit good when you do park up and have to leave out on the street.




Didn't fit the disk on the America, but has every thing else.

 

Alarms aren't much of a deterrent these days when the bike is parked away from your home - just think how many times you've heard alarms going off and how many times you called the police and how quickly they responded when you did call. Stats suggest a very high proportion of bikes fitted with a motion detector tracker are recovered within 24 hours. It's not a cheap option (comparatively) what with monthly renewal premiums, but the likes of BikeTrac claim a 90% recovery rate.

btw, how are you finding the Bobber Black? Have you posted pictures here yet?

 

We sell BikeTrac at our place. It seems good by all reports. There are bound to be others that'll do the job.

 

I honestly don't know of any apart from the Biketrac we sell. I'll check at work tomorrow and pm you with the best price we can do posted.

 

Just keep a thieves head on a stake at the bottom of your drive works every time
