Author Message   Thespive Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 04:42 am:        Which disc brake locks work with our bikes? Bonus if it is small and light enough to fit under the seat of an S or in a jacket pocket. Thanks. --Sean   Rocketman Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 09:17 am:        Don't know if they're available Stateside....... Xena do a range of alarmed disc locks. I recall MCN hiring the services of an ex bike thief to try crack various disc locks for a test. The ex thief cracked all the top locks, and more, in a matter of seconds. The budget Xena they had on test, which was something like £25 at the time, gave the ex thief a hard time and it beat all the other locks on test by about 2 minutes if memory serves. I've searched the MCN website for you but the test isn't on line sadly. I did see elsewhere though that other Xena disc locks have lots of 4 star ratings. Hope this helps.

While small, it's not that small and it weighs a few pounds, too.   Lord_deathscyte Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 11:04 am:        I use brake locks on my bike one in the front and one in the rear. I got them at www.lockitt.com I bought the ABUS Buffo 305s for my xb12r. They both fit in the tail section for easy transportation.   Socalbueller Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 02:50 pm:        I would guess any of them will work on the back brake. I have an On-Gaurd one and it does fit under the seat. I remember seeing one of the bigger U style locks on the front disc of an XB. You could probably fit those under the seat but not much else.   Thespive Posted on Monday, September 11, 2006 - 01:05 am:        What is the correct size for those of you who have the Xena locks? --Sean   Ftd Posted on Monday, September 11, 2006 - 07:43 am:        I have this one. Works well with my Road King, Bourget and the ULY. http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup.aspx?GID=B7394E91-CA3B-46AD-8E74-2BB8CB3514 27&search=xena%20lock&store=All&page=1 Frank   Midknyte Posted on Monday, September 11, 2006 - 02:07 pm:        XENA website has a lookup that will tell you which models fit our bikes. The XENA alarm, while not *that* loud, will save you from riding off with it in place I like the alarm for the "don't sit on me" factor... I got one. I view it as a deterent, not a cure all. But am happy and would reccommend.
