Locks

What kind of locks are owners using for their VFRs? I was looking a a Krypotonite chain maybe but thought I'd ask before I bought anything. 

Thanks

I use Abus Granit Detecto X-Plus 8077 Alarm Disc Lock.

It's not too sensitive. Loud noise doesn't set it off - requires bike to be bumped.

It isn't particularly loud, but is a nice deterrent.

I've only used it for one season so far. No issues.

Almax or Pragmasis.  Top, top quality stuff.  I've got several lengths of 16mm chain, Pragmasis Anti-Pinch Pins and Squire "BMF" padlocks.  Not really necessary in the USA (where, believe it or not, you enjoy a realtively low motorcycle theft rate!), but here in the UK we not only use large, heavy locks and chains, but also cemented-in ground anchors.  Unfortunately, top security gear is HEAVY, so doesn't ship well internationally.  I've still got a few old "large" Kryptonites, which I use as travel chains.  Better than nothing.

 

For a VFR, the Anti-Pinch Pin (with the correct Squire padlock) would be a good way to secure the bike with any chain (the biggest you can find), as it secures both the bike and the precious 8-spoke rear wheel (if you've got one)! 

 

Ciao,
