How to stop Wing Mirror theft?

[Colbernicus]

Hello everyone,

I moved in my new 'hood' yesterday and low and behold i was two wing mirrors down on my Honda PS 125 this morning..

Apart from putting a cover on it, anyone got any suggestions for preventing this in the future please?

Much obliged,

[Minty]

Take em off, or the only other solution I can think of is this;

Not much really.

The person who needed mirrors now has some so hopefully that's an end of it.

Paint them pink with fairy stickers on them?

Decorate them with alraldite and crushed lightbulb glass.

Simple thing would be to take them off before you enter your house, but surely you have thought of that.

Or move the bike into your house for security.

Or move.

Get new mirrors and one of these:

Jeez where did you move to??
Toxteth or West Bank????

NEVER had a mirror nicked in 30 odd years of owning bikes, and i've lived in some dives....

Smear dog shit all over them

You can get 'security' bolts. But you can also easily buy the bits to undo them. Does make it a bit harder.
Mirrors tend to be quite universal, but it could easily be another bit off your bike next time.

Oh, sorry; so was I thus mentioning universal, then completely ignored the concept I was thinking about .

Could drill and tap a while through the base so there's a small bolt going through to hold it in - use a security head or Stinkwheel's suggestion on that.

[jimspeed]

careful, they are probly waiting for you to stick a brand new set on, then take em to replace they old ones lol..

Didn't realise this happens. I had a set of new hubcaps on my car last less than an hour after a trip to Tesco but mirror's???

A woman came into our local Halfords whilst I was buying car crap a few years ago and bought about 10 rattle cans of bright pink paint and then started spraying her bike in the car park. Tyres aswell and it looked bloody aweful. I cant remember what the bike was but it was nearly new at the time. I stood in total disbelief as the staff approached her as she screamed that her last bike had been stolen and the feckers wouldn't be doing it again!

Haha some crackers there..

I actually thought id moved to a posher part of london, but looks are clearly deceiving!

Sounds like the easiest solution is to screw them off each time i get home, however i doubt ill get round to actually doing this..

Will have to just pray he's now got his fix and will leave my shit alone!

Fingers crossed.. thanks all

Which bit of London have you moved to? I'm in Plaistow, and have never had any bike bits stolen.

Write "I'm watching you" in felt pen on the glass.

Then while he is looking round to see if you really are watching, sneak up and hit him with a housebrick.

If they are the screw in type, see if you can get a machine shop to cut some more thread on the mirror arm and then add another nut to it - that way you can tighten the nut against the mirror and hopefully it wouldn't just be a case of unscrewing them, they'd need a spanner too.

[doggone]

Maybe they will need a battery next.
It needs a more secure parking spot, or you could move

[crazymotorbik...]

Hey,
Can you not lock tab and lockwire them? That way They can't simply be unscrewed.
Just a thought.
