Bike Locks

[UDouble]

Hi guys and ladies

I have a garage for my bike and it wont often be left out on the street.

However there are times when I will not be near home and Im looking for a good lock.

Can anyone suggest a good wheel lock or otherwise, that does not involve a chain, that would be good for early to mid Honda 70's Honda Cb's?

Hope this isn't a dumb question and that Im in the right forum to be asking this.

Thanks so much!

Look for a disc lock. Small and clamps right to your brake rotor. You can even get them with motion alarms.

Thanks. I was looking at these but the rotor on my bike is solid. It doesn't have holes in it like the newer rotors. On these locks, they have a pin that would fit through the holes. The first pic is my rotor, and the second is a photo of rotors that could use the types of locks you linked.

Get your rotor drilled. Lighter and brakes will work better, and you'll have something to stick a lock in.

Youre psychic. Just before I read your message I found this:

Shop around, that seems high.

Yeah I agree. I looked on ebay and saw a spare rotor in good shape for like $25. I'll probably end up getting that and having it drilled. What should it cost to have a stock rotor drilled? No way am I going to pay $160 for a rotor. Nope.

thanks for your help. really appreciate it.

I've seen around 65-85$ or so depending, you might want to check in your local area first. It should be a super easy job for a local machine shop. If you have a drill press of your own, save the cash. Get or make a pattern first. Happy to help.

If you drill your rotor be sure to chamfer the holes. With out the chamfers it eats through pads like a cheese grater.
