Brake Lock with Tamper Siren

[MotorBike001]

Just passed my Mod2 - getting a Honda CBR 650F 16 plate

I've been thinking of getting a Brake Lock with Tamper Siren. Of course the priority is how secure it is - the siren is a nice to have.

I've been looking on Amazon - all the locks on there have comments about being removed within seconds.

Can anyone recommend a secure brake lock (ideally with siren)? Thanks

I am using "JDC MOTORCYCLE Motorbike Disc Lock ALARM" it's 22 quid on Amazon. Good lock, in yellow. Used the siren until the batteries died then didn't bother replacing. The siren is not too sensitive, but a sudden gust of strong wind will set it off. The alarm sounds every time you unlock it with the key.

In the end I settled on this disk lock on the rear and an Oxford Boss lock on the front wheel. Easier to use then a chain and easy to carry as well.

Also have an alarm on the bike, but it blares every time there's strong wind. So usually not bothering with it.

I do, however, have a secret alarm. It's a wireless door bell, with a relay and a tilt sensor attached. If the ignition is off and someone tries to put the bike upright, the tilt sensor activates the wireless doorbell button and I can hear it in the house. Nice.

A big chain and padlock is the best deterrent I think.......but a determined bike thief will take the bike no matter what security you have. I have an alarm/immobiliser on mine......and a disk lock......

Look for something that's Thatcham approved if possible......

That's a great idea - you should go on Dragons Den

I might fit that to my garage door it has no power but, if I can find a door bell with sufficient range...

Always lock mine to something solid or ferocious.

The jury is out whether a Springer puppy constitutes "ferocious". I suspect it doesn't so solid things have to suffice.

I lock all of ours together with a big chain that's a tight fit so they'd have a bugger of a time getting cutting tools onto it, and stick a separate disc lock on each of them. And park near many many far nicer bikes with less security

I was surprised how easy my bolt croppers went through a padlock the other day

A bell and a long string would be just fine.
