Disc lock recommendations

Post by primalcarl » Mon Jul 01, 2013 10:29 am

Hi need a disc lock for my '08 S-wing 125. Can anyone recommend anything? I don't suppose anyone knows what size I'd need as well?

I easily removed one with a couple of whacks from one of my smaller hammers when I lost the key. Chaining it to an immovable object is far better.

They are tempting because their so compact and easy to carry........ but if they don't work well it's pointless :? But then again, you can always combine your heavy duty chain plus the Disc lock ......... if I'm a crook and determined to steal something, I'd go for the easiest option.

I think you`ll find that C90s are really high on the stolen bikes list as scrotes steal them for fun and for the engines for cheap Chinese pit bikes!
