I keep my DT outside till building a new garage, this is the ground anchor I use with a 16mm chain and never had any problems with bike outside for over a year. I use a cheap alarm with an additonal motion sensor that was an extra £5, will find the link for you. Very sensative tilt sensor but doesn't go off in the wind, tilt sensor fully adjustable.

This is the alarm I have fitted, excellent alarm for the money and very loud.

Added this tilt sensor to my alarm as can set it up easily with bike on the side stand so goes off if the bike moves less than 1mm.

I have a Xena Disc Lock alarm.
Just bought my second Xena alarm as it happens. I've been pleased with the first one.

Xena Disc Lock alarm.
Disc Lock alarms, the brake disc can be cut with a cordless angle grinder and cutting disc without setting the alarm off.

It's a combination of a few things to stop your bike from being stolen.
A disc lock is just a quick deterrent.
I've seen people go throigh those Oxford monster locks like butter. Ultimately if they want your pride and joy, they'll have it. The disc lock just protects against chancers hoping to take your bike for a joy ride on a hots summers day. If you have a disc lock, they'll likely move on to the next sucker...

True that creates a lot of noise and draws attention.

Can you link the right model of disc lock? Seems to exist quite a few?

Ordered the xx14. Seems good enough. Have to engineer some sort or holder under the seat so I can bring it easily.

Also if you can lock the padlock to part of the bike (as well as both ends of the chain obviously), it prevents them manouvring it into a position it's easier for them to attack.
Yes determined theifs will still try, but I don't believe you should make it easy for them. -

Might have to store my bike outside during a couple of weeks. Thinking of buying a cover and an alarm. Can you guys give me any recommendations? I already have a couple of beefy chains.

Make sure to have your bike covered for the paint not to corrode if youre planning to park it outside for a couple of weeks. and i would also recommend buying BlueFire Motorcycle Security Kit Alarm System on amazon. its easy to install and i am telling you, its really loud. it also have a great bump sensitivity. hope this helps mate!
