Hi Guys coolant leak sorted , celebrated with some titanium calliper bolts , floor clamps fitted , rear as well making it as difficult as possible for perps.....
If you really want make life harder for thieving scum then a shorter chain that keeps the lock off the floor would be far more effective. In that position it looks very accessible to freezing and a sledgehammer attack.
Although a big set of bolt croppers would make short work of that chain. Sorry - not meaning to be negative - just did a lot of research before buying security products and it’s just a matter of seconds for properly prepared bike thieves to get through locks and chains like that - easier still if they aren’t installed in the best possible position.
Hmm - I don’t have one in the Kitchen, well not a whole one..... I do have one in the lounge it’s true, and one in the garden room, and some fairings in one of the bedrooms, but that’s absolutely it. The Triumph is in the Garage - locked up with a really big chain though....
Needs a 19 or 22mm pragmasis/almax chain as that’s cut in seconds. Ball bearings whacked into the top of the bolts to stop them being unscrewed. Did you put the bolts into resin vials?
That set up will stop local scrotes wheeling it away. But the pros would make very short work of it. That said, if the pro’s really want your bike, they’ll have it. Making it harder to nick than the other guys is key...
Agreed . Some Eastern European friends recently lost their motorhome from exactly that attack method ( clutch pedal was chained to steering wheel ) .
I have 2 types of fixings I use, there the Kemfix ones ,the other end of the bike I used csk sleeve anchors with ball bearings in the top
its all about making as hard as possible there is someone always at home so that's a plus , I have other security which I wont post about , I also have 2 large black carnivores on guard they will let me know if anybody's about, to physically get the bike out from where it is would be very difficult to be honest
yar we use 1mm slitting discs at work will go through anything ( I work for Ozweld international) ,noise would wake the dogs up
Now that’s what I call security! It sounds like you are well covered. You are totally right that a layered approach is best - if left alone undisturbed there’s no such thing as a chain that can’t be cut with the right tools so it’s just a case of making life as difficult as possible for the scum. What surprised me most when I did my research though was that you need at least a 16mm chain for it to be uncroppable - after that the quickest and quietist attack is with a sledgehammer so keeping the lock and chain off the floor makes that almost impossible. The idea is basically to force them to use a cutting disc as that’s the most time consuming and noisy. Bennetts seem to perform the most comprehensive tests these days. Based on their work I went with pragmasis - an alarm - and CCTV. In the absence of big fecking dogs it’s the best I can do! https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesoci...cks/how-we-tested-motorcycle-chains-and-locks https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesoci...ks/how-to-choose-the-best-motorcycle-security
Great muts. You'd have to be seriously hardcore to have a go with those two lurking about. Fuck that! But yeah, I apply the onion theory to security. The more layers the better
I’ve just fitted a new alarm control box (due to renting the house out soon.....ish) nobody pays a blind bit of notice to the outside bell, and believe me it’s gone off a few times during testing and installation, however we have a fairly innocuous sound bomb in the hallway and feck it’s loud, enough to make your ears bleed if in close proximity for any length of time
No, alarms won’t bring in the have a go heroes. They’ll act as an irritant to burglars. Maybe stress him a bit, fuck up his mojo. That’ll do
