Best way to chainmy Fz6: 16mm 2m chain and U-Lock

[scruti]

Hi guys, I'm practicing about securing my bike before moving to UK/London.

My security elements:
Oxford Nemesis 16mm 2m chain + Padlock.
Abus Granit Extreme 59 D-Lock.

So today I went to my garage and tired to chain my bike in the safest way possible: Trough the Fz6 frame.

The problem is... the 16mm chain don't go through the motorbike frame. I tried, but nothing. So instead of chaining it to a removable part of the bike (like tyres, laterall screwed bars, frame to foot pegs...) I tried passing the Abus ULock through the frame, and locking the chain to it.
This allows me to even extend the distance between the motorbike and the point where I chain my bike into.

The nemesis Padlock is too small to go through the frame and lock the chain, so I used it as disklock.

Is this a secure thing to do? I don't know what is better... chain locked to Dlock through the frame or chain locked to the narrower padlock in a less secure part of the bike and the big Ulock through both front brake disks as I use to do.

Any idea? maybe I could do it in a better way that didn't come to my mind.

Pictures of how I chained it (sorry about the quality, they are too dark):

A chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
The ubolt is the weak link.
They can be burst open using a scissor jack out of a car.

The chain on has too much slack which gives a tealeaf plenty of scope to attack it.

The chain is on the ground which provides a nice rigid surface to attack it on.

Pragmasis sell a long bolt that slides through the swingarm pivot etc. and joins the links of their 16mm chain.
Speak to them and ask for the bolt.

Anti-Pinch Bolt

Aye.....I could smash that u bolt just by staring at it hard enough.....then the chain is left safely locked to the lampost...more practice required...deffo Maybe you could get a loop safely sunk into that column? Do you posess a drill.....a decent drill? Do you have power at the garage?

I must admit, I'm no expert on U locks, maybe there are some strong ones. They're a bit of a pig to carry about...I know that. Look into getting a ground anchor fitted, (properly), it'll give you lots of chain to play with. And make sure your insurer is cool with where it's being kept....just in case I think it's worth having an extra disc lock or similar...they just make the job of knicking the bike look harder on first appearance. Do you cover it too?

+1 to the anti inch pin.

You need to use some of the intermediate links in the chain to make it short enough to stay off the ground

Suggestions annotated

I plan to cover it once in London, yes. Just I have not enough space to carry a cover moving there, but I'll do.

Thanks!

Scrotes are like magpies, they are attracted to bright shiny things. A cover helps hide a bike. Fortunately, also like magpies, they are designated "vermin" and we are entitled to shoot them
