Carrying your disc lock on your motorcycle.

[Jamieking86]

Hi people, I have just recently bought a chain, an FD-moto disc lock and anchor, got an absolute bargain for all 3. Just wondering the easiest way to carry your disc lock with you? I don't want to keep it in my pocket...obviously. When the lock is clicked in the alarm automatically sets on it, so i can't click it on to somewhere on the bike as someone will think I've stolen it And it's 3 miniture screws to unscrew to take the battery out so it will be a nusiance to keep having to do that. I do have a top box but i don't like to carry it around with me all the time.

Under your seat?

Throw the disc lock in the bin before you forget to take it off and try riding off with it on.

I guarantee it will happen at least once even if you've got a high fluorescent reminder cable on it.

Also I can also guarantee the novelty will rapidly wear off and it will become a PITA.

Why not do us all a favour and fuck off.

He stopped using his when he realised even the UKs least discerning thief would rather steal a still warm dog turd than his bike.

If under the seat doesn't work and it has to be unlocked to prevent the alarm going off, then I would look at some kind of buckle-type strap to fix it to the bike somewhere, or even velcro.
When I used a bracket for a disc-lock (a U shaped one), I fixed it to the bars which hold the top-box's mounting plate in place by mummifying it with cable ties.

You can just about see it on this old picture: https://imgur.com/GSBH7sR

Edit: Better idea. Buy one of these and fix it in the same place.

I just use one of these Fits chain/padlock + disc lock.

Similar stuff if you dont have a separate pillion seat.

I use a q bag expanding tail bag
Fits to the seat or rear rack zips off if needed I leave mine on the bike all the time and when bike is locked up I leave the tail pack open when at work or home. If I was out in a strange/ less desirable place I may unzip it

I carry mine in the front left bottom pocket. I had an off with it there and no drama entailed, obviously there are different kind of offs but its securely in place in my pocket and does not wiggle about. The one I have is flat though and sits quite flush to my body. If anything it gives me more protection than without it.

I just carry mine in my jacket pocket - seems like the least faffing around.

[megaross]

I always stuck mine in my pocket, that way I always put it on when I park the bike up or I can't get anything else out of it.
