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?
-
@Irongamer727 Search ebay/web for the XX14 or XX15, obviously the XX15 is the beefiest and top model.
-
Ordered the xx14. Seems good enough. Have to engineer some sort or holder under the seat so I can bring it easily.

@Irongamer727 You will still need to chain the bike upto something, otherwise even with the disc lock on, the scumbags can still lift or drag you bike to a van. Plus your insurance may not payout should the pond life be successful!!
-
Big chain and padlock gets my vote. Preferably chained, with the chain and lock away from the ground. Makes it harder to attack with a hammer or cutters. 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. -
@Irongamer727 I just found this from Bennetts insurance, wg=hich may be useful to all of us;

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!
