I'm trying to find a clever spot on my GS to attach my disc lock while riding so i don't have to put it in a backpack, or the tankbag which i haven't bought yet...
Any ideas?
my bike is a GS500F
Mine can fit under the seat on top of the tool kit. :cheers:
But then wouldnt it be just as easy to put it in a tankbag or a backpack???
One of my buddies has a little leather pouch that straps onto his swingarm and he sticks it in there. Its a pretty small pouch and you can't really put anything more in there once you've put the lock in it.

I don't have a tankbag yet - and i don't really want to ride around with a backpack to haul a lock around town

hmm, that's a good idea, maybe i'll make some sort of pouch and see if i can fit it under the seat with the toolkit as someone mentioned in the thread. I'll post pics if i figure out something useful
Will it fit in your jacket pocket???? What tankbag are you getting??? I would recomend the tourmaster sport mini.....

It will, but its heavy and akward.
I looked at the tour master site - the super mini is kind of cool
Never put disc locks in your pocket!!!!
If you come off it can do serious damage.
I keep my dislock in a small pouch and keep it under my seat.
Just wondering when I was looking at a disk lock it came with a pouch that had a velcro fastener. The sales person told me it fastens to the middle of the handle bars. Unless you have clip on's I guess. :dunno_white: Or as seen in a previous post get one of these

Super mini is too effing small to do any good. The mini magnetic has been perfect for me - can fit gatorade, spare helmet shield, all kinds of other random crap, and has a map pocket. JMHO.

That's how I kept mine. I don't use it anymore though. I'm am not in the metro ATL area anymore and around here most stolen bikes are of high dollar value. REALLY high dollar value.
o'course my bike will be stolen tonight. now that I 've jinxed myself. :o
I'm betting you've gone and put the disc lock on now. :laugh:
nope, I don't use my kickstand. nobody would bother lifting her up to steal her. :thumb:
What, you lay her down! :icon_confused:
if so, that can be bad for your bike as the oil can pool in unwanted spots and can cause damage to your engine when you start it if you don't allow it to drain back into its sump first.
The Luma Xmart linked earlier in this thread looks pretty cool. It is "stored" on your bike as a footpeg. You take it off to use it as a disc lock. If you forget and try to ride off without taking the lock off, you'll know as soon as you try to shift gears. Pretty clever.
I did a quick search and it's also available in the US, here (http://www.lockitt.com/disclock.htm#Xmart).
Agree, that is an awsome idea! Kills so many birds with one stone, it's truely ingenius! :bowdown:
How do people steal bikes? I assume that some can just lift them into the bed of a pickup or something, but do thieves also have some way to hotwire the engine?
I can't imagine hot wiring the GS being all the hard. Actually, if you know what you are doing its probably super easy
I'd have to agree. Looking at the wiring diagram, it doesn't look that hard at all.
Yes, they could lift the bike onto a truck or ute (pickup) but having the wheel locked makes manouvering it a real pain in the but. And these bikes aren't light!
My disk lock (Xena) also has a movement sensor and a 100db alarm! Give me time to get my :2guns: out.
So disk locks just clamp on to the disk of the front brake? How secure are they? I like the size, look, and alarm capability of the Xenas.

That US distributor doesn't list an adapter for the GS500, and the Euro site says out of stock till Mar 30.
How would (did) you put it on?
a few months ago I was thinking of getting a disclock, but I ended up getting a rootweiler chain/lock (onguard). it is freakin thick and flexible. I use it on my rear tire, that way of the bike is stolen, at least I'll have some evidence (a tire) and maybe even some fingerprints.

I don't own one. But the Luma site (http://www.luma.es/pdf/adaptors_fitting_models.pdf) lists the adaptor as KAXSUZ3 which is available at the site (http://www.bikesax.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DSL-XMART) I posted earlier. I don't know if it's in stock though.
If you get one, let us know how you like it!
I use a Joe Rocket Manta Tank Bag (its on the smaller side of th scale)...

I like it a lot as it fits nicely on top of the tank and "goes" with the bike. I put my cell, wallet, and gloves in it. The main pouch can fit a fast food bag etc. :)

I purchased it first due to its thick construction (thicker must mean harder to cut right :laugh:)
the alarm is a nice little addition that not only warns you if someone has jumped on your ride, but if you jump on and forget to remove the lock (prevents nasty accidents). It comes with a nice little storage puch that you can strap to your handle bars, or place it under your seat.
I doubt GS500 owners have anything to worry about, except maybe 04'-06' models.
but if you are in a high riskk area, brake discs locks aren't the best way to go. an actual chain or lockable steel loop is better. simple because a brake disc is easily shattered with a ballpeen hammer and easily replace for a few bucks.
a bike thief probably wouldn't want your bike too ride anyway. if they own the same bike as you and wreck it, it is easier to steal your for parts.
or if they are in a real theft ring they will be selling your bike for parts anyway.
oh well if they want your bike and you leave it outside then its theres. use a brake lock at least to make it dificult.
also lock your handlebar. then they'd have to haul the bike.
well, not really but I won't explain how to bypass that. :thumb:
my logic is if they really want the bike, or any of my crap for that matter, they'll take it regardless of what measures I put in place
a few guys could pick up your bike and put it in the back of a pick up in a matter of seconds

a few REALLY BIG guys. I tried this with SIX guys and we still ended up dropping her on the truck twice. and it took an hour. And these guys were ARMY.
your right though, IF I want your bike I'm gonna take regardless. I mean them o'course.
Bikes are just as easy as cars to steal. A disc lock will only stop a casual thief. I once pulled off with my disc lock on and jammed up the locking mechanism. It took me less than 10 min to cut through it with a metal grinder. The grinder I used was powered by compressed air... but I imagine you could do it in 15 min with a battery powered grinder from the home depot.
Needless to say, a 10-15 min deterrent isn't much of a fool-proof deterrent if your bike is being taken at night or something.
The ignition can be screwdrivered pretty easily. If you are really worried and want to be sneaky, yank the coils off the spark plugs... it won't stop an attentive thief, but might stop the punk-on-a-lark who just happened by your ride.
I heard of using a hidden kill switch for your electricals.
at least they would'nt ride off with it.
I like to play with 20kV flyback transformers cause I'm a dork and like big sparks. I've always thought it would be fun to wire one up to a car or bike to give any would-be theif/passer by a good shock :icon_twisted:
careful....with that. ya might get sued.
the potential thief could say he was just trying to move the bike.
Oh I know I would be sued, that's why I haven't done it yet. It would be good for some shits and giggles to sit inside and watch people get shocked as they tried to walked by. :icon_lol:
I knew a guy, who knew a guy, who had a gf that knew a guy........
that put a motion sensor on his bike and the alarm said "please stand back, you are too close to the vehicle"
the theives kept setting it off while the guy was away killing his battery. the neighbors were happy to see it go. no witnesses though.
I don't know if its true. but its funny.
The harder you make it to steal, the more potential thieves you eliminate from the picture. That's my theory.
What would be the best place to add a kill switch?
(I'm asking this without searching, I'm a bwaaaad wittle bwoy!)

anywhere. any automotive switch will work. most thieves wouldn't even think to look for one.
also something inconspicous so you can disable the elecs w/o being obvious.
be sure to splice the ignition switch not the big red wire to the batt.

NO prob, BOb... send me a Fosters. (** thats Australian for Beer) :cheers:
In the states we say BUDWEISER (**thats N. American for water) :laugh:
Who's Bob?
Mate, not many Aussies here like Fosters. Its probably our wost selling beer. I for one like it and I'm considered strange in doing so :dunno_white:
I've had a bud, and your right, water tastes stronger. :laugh:

I figured it wasn't too popular down under. just like corona's in mexico. Most mexican I know won't touch the stuff.
bob = no prob bob. It just ryhmes.
I don't like fosters... I'm glad to hear it's not Australia's standard. There is this great beer store down the street, I'll have to try have to try some other Australian beers sometime.
I think a lot of imported beers are like that; I went to Germany a few years ago and the beer there was far cheeper (like 40 euro cents for a 0.5L!!!) and far better than a lot of the imported beer you get here.
beer = good
german beer = the best
idk, while I was there I had some polish beer that was pretty damn good
mmmm this is making me thisty, talking about german beer, i have some becks in my fridge waiting for me when i get home... ooo im excited :thumb:
I see people hanging them off carious areas of their bike, putting htem into tankbags, backpacks etc. Of the three bikes I have, the disc lock fits under each ones seat nicely.
I am growing partial to sam adams lately. not bad for an American Beer.
I Iraq/Kuwait the army served us NONALCOHOLIC BEER - those bastards. I just pretended to get drunk. :cheers:
i do like sam adams... i was going to get a case of that but the becks was on sale :icon_lol:
what the hell do they expect you to do with nonalcoholic beer?
my dad sent a case of those mini bottles of jack daniels to a friend who's stationed in iraq. he had to declare it as 'sports drinks' so they would send it :cheers:
big no-no. I almost got caught with a pint of southern comfort out there. those bastards. :mad:
I can understand the whole no drinking with loaded weapons bit. but a little southern comfort don't hurt. :thumb:
i see nothing wrong with mixing alcohol and guns... its called hunting :icon_lol:
Since I've been studying in London this semester, I've come across quite a few beer oddities. In London, people drink Bud and think its a legitimately good beer. They choose it over Fostors and Carlsberg when they can. Fostors also sucks, but on tap its not too bad. Strangely enough, the same is true of Heineken. On tap in the Netherlands its actually pretty good, it doesn't have the bite of the canned/ bottled stuff. Most of the better beer in London is still imported, except for the ales/ bitters. Those have an interesting taste (they vary a lot) but they give awful hangovers.
Alcohol is Goddamn Expensive here because you're always subsidizing the National Health Service when you drink. Anywhere else is much better. In London you can expect to pay the same price in pounds as you would in the us in dollars. So, approximately 1.8x as much.
I'm ready and willing to get back to the US where a case of cheap light beer costs 14 bucks, where the cheapest beer here costs 1$/pint (buying in bulk at that).
I always see a differance between bottled beer and beer out of a tap. I'll try a beer at a bar and like it a lot, but when I go and buy a case of it I don't like it so much. Maybe the expensive bar prices make it taste better or maybe I've already had a few too many beers to really judge it being a good beer :dunno_white:
That sucks beer is so expensive there. I don't know what I'd do with myself. But hey, theres nothing like an extra tax to protect you from yourself :thumb:
I actually don't think it covers me, since I'm not a citizen. Would be damn nice if I had a bike here though since London riders are insane. They seem to have bikes (/ mopeds) for the sole reason of weaving their way through traffic and passing cars at stoplights. I'm surprised more don't get hit, but they seem to do a much better job with safety equipment.

lol. wtf are you talking about? Myself and two of my scrawny friends have loaded my gs500 in a truck in under a minute. Two people lift front, third stands behind bike and manages front brake. Load front wheel. Third person gets in front of bike and manages front break, other two lift rear and push forward. Bike is loaded on truck bed in less than a minute.
PS I'm a soon to comission 2LT in US Army :2guns:

It would, but it takes time to do every time... if you're a weekend rider, then that's fine. but having to install and remove a fuse every time you want to ride when you're a daily driver gets a little time consuming (oh and if you loose the fuse and don't have spares... you're F&%$#d!)... so would disconnecting your battery...

To be quite honest... that's exactly how I first drank it... Didn't love it the first time I drank it... but It's actually pretty good.
But again, NOTHING beats a good cold Keith's!

To be quite honest... that's exactly how I first drank it... Didn't love it the first time I drank it... but It's actually pretty good.
But again, NOTHING beats a good cold Keith's!
I like keiths ipa
I don't mind the rickards red brew either.
i like some of the ale type beers that are unfiltered and have a pretty unique taste. They're not the strongest tasting beers, but they sure taste neat.
- hoegaarden
- coopers sparking ale from australia
Hoegaarden has a very interesting taste, if you like the white beers I suggest Kronenbourg Blanc, it was only created a couple years ago but its quite tasty (if you like fruity beers). Its a bit like Blue Moon with an orange slice in it.

my logic is if they really want the bike, or any of my crap for that matter, they'll take it regardless of what measures I put in place
a few guys could pick up your bike and put it in the back of a pick up in a matter of seconds
a few REALLY BIG guys. I tried this with SIX guys and we still ended up dropping her on the truck twice. and it took an hour. And these guys were ARMY.
your right though, IF I want your bike I'm gonna take regardless. I mean them o'course.
lol. wtf are you talking about? Myself and two of my scrawny friends have loaded my gs500 in a truck in under a minute. Two people lift front, third stands behind bike and manages front brake. Load front wheel. Third person gets in front of bike and manages front break, other two lift rear and push forward. Bike is loaded on truck bed in less than a minute.
PS I'm a soon to comission 2LT in US Army :2guns:
Well "sir" I failed to mentioned we we're all lowly enlisted soldiers without the advantage of an officer to direct and guide us in the correct course of action.
Plus you know enlisted, we stood around talking about what to do do for a good while before attempting it, then attempted it. followed by an After Action Review.
comming up with another course of action we made a second attempt immediately followed by another After Action Review. and a cig break.
the third attempt ended in a bike drop and an AAR to discuss the ramifications of denting the truck, also determining who to blame.
All in all the mission was accomplished as can be expected considering no commissioned officers were present.
Thank you "Sir"
3imo out.
PS I have been promoted to Civilian 1st class. :2guns:
thread update: I thought i had a secure place under the seat for my disc lock... but after doing some twisty roads... well i'm off to buy a new disc lock now :laugh: :dunno_white:
I just love this place. Where else could you be talking anout tankbags and jump to important stuff like BEER! :laugh:
ok! new plan!
with my new disc lock in hand... becuase the old plan left my old disc lock somewhere in the twisties.. :dunno_white:
kryptonite disc lock, with little pouch - going to put a button similar to a jacket button into the velcro to ensure it won't come undone and then find someway to afix the pouch under the seat semi-permenantly.

why not place it with the tool kit and strap it down with the tool kit strap...
or you could put a screw/washer or a nut/bolt/washer thru the back of the pouch to hold it down to the plastic.

That's what i did - i used the tool kit strap, and it failed me :(
I'm going to find a way to afix the pouch under the seat tomorrow morning.
Hmm... That's crappy man, did you loose your tool kit too? I'll have to check mine and figure out some other means to hold it down... wouldn't want ot loose my toolkit!

Tool kit is still there, it is wedged in there pretty good. thankfully that didn't fall out, suzuki would most likely want a silly amount of money for a new one.
lol, if only I paid attention to this topic. I lost my disc lock from under my seat too :(
