Do any of you have one? Is it likely to be effective on a bike parked up on a trip when it’s not used to tether it to a fixed object - is it big enough to go over the wheel and tyre and fork leg to stop the wheel turning and the wheel being removed? Fortunately I returned to my bike today as I had forgotten something in the pannier to find two gits interfering with my bike lucky for me they legged it when I challenged them with my mate as back up. I was lucky but it has got me thinking about security. Cheers
I have one bought for my Wild Atlantic Way trip as I was concerned it would be easily stolen and required a lock that has a very good reputation. GasGas 700 SM If your intent is to stop a casual attempt a DX1000 is the jobbie There are ways round a shackled front wheel which I won't reveal here, better to have both wheels immobile. IMO a DX100O for the rear wheel and a roadlok or another dx for the front too, probably cheaper than your excess too. MY Son used a D1000 which was released before the DX on his Supermoto 125, it wasn't stolen.
Thanks for your comments Yes it’s about deterring casual attempts like today - it happened in Horsham in broad daylight. Having looked at the blurb I did not get the impression the hiplok would fit over the front rim/tyre. I guess I could put it through the spokes on the rear. I was only going for a coffee but was too lazy to put on the disc lock so that is a lesson in itself. I have just purchased a Roadlok but not fitted it yet.
The Hiplok dx1000 fits over the front Rim/ Tyre on my 1200r. I will take a photo later and post it on here.
Quite a few of us on the forum use a Roadlok, https://roadlok.com/. The UK importer, @Billy Big Roy, is a forum member and offers a discount to subscribers. This, https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesoci...and-locks/roadlok-review-motorcycle-disc-lock, is a review. Andy
I have had a Roadlok fitted on last couple of bikes . Some lovely youves broke into the garage, my bike had moved a tiny bit which is when I reckon they saw the Roadlok . They stole the other bike(not mine) in this unit which only had steering lock and normal chain/padlock on which was dispensed with very quickly. Plus Roadlok is SO convenient too.
