Lock for rear disc
 

This is my first post on the forum, forgive me if I have posted this on completly the wrong forum. Having just picked up a SV650 K8 i've been sorting out security. When out an about there is a distinct lack of things to lock the bike to, so rather than carry a huge chain around I thought I'd pop a disc lock on the back rotor. I've got an XN15 for the front, but there is no chance this is fitting on the back, has anyone found a decent lock that fits the standard rear disc of the K8. Realise this won't prevent it getting lifted into a van, but should stop someone lifting the front and wheeling away on the back.

Wouldn't a big chain through the back wheel and around the saddle do the job just as well?

This would definatly have the same effect, and probably be more secure than a little disc lock, but I'm not sure I could fit a chain and lock under the seat, has anyone manged to fit a decent cahin and lock in the tiny space under the rear seat, I'm really after portability.

dont know about under seat space on the injected models but on the carbed theres foom under there for a 3 blondes, a jacuzzi and 10 bottles of bollinger.

seriously tho i regularly carry a chain, disc lock and bungees under there and it fits fine. I use a squire chain and lock, I think its about 1-1.5 metres long. Not long enough to go round the seat but it could go through the swingarm and exhaust mount. Best bet is to find a convenient lamp post.

use both!!
I've got a 1200mm chain and a disc lock.
The curvy rear seat storage is impressive like. Almost lost a few things down the seat plastics lol

if in doubt wrap the chain when riding round the pillion seat so it goes round the whole rear end of the bike.

The pointy barely has enough room for your blondes' hairbrush.
