Where to install the Oxford lock holder?

[sapstar]

I have the below lock. It came with a lock holder as shown in the picture. I am unsure where I can install this holder on my Kawasaki ER-6N? It didn't come with any fittings... Is it even meant to go on the bike?

I suspect it bolts on with a bolt through the little hole, head accessed by a socket/box spanner through the big hole, and the lock goes around the whole thing, with the hasp following the line of those turned-down lugs. Big hole on bracket facing outwards.

Have you got an existing bolt (rear footrest or similar?) on the bike that you could use? Stash it on the bike (under seat?) instead of using bracket?

Why bother with disc / steering locks, anybodies will just lift the bike into a van and off.
Use a chain / padlock to an immovable object.

That's a mini-D lock or big padlock, as far as I can see.
I suspect that the smaller hole in the back of that carrier bracket, is probably about 6.5mm, sized as a clerance fit on 'any' convenient M6 screw, and imedietly springing to mind is on a push-bike, and bolting the horse hoe brake caliper through that hole.
On a motorbike? rear foot-peg bolt sounds like a good idea, only the peg and hanger are often lugged to stop the peg rotating with just one fastener; might take a bit of filing to make a flat-space for the lock carrier to sit straight, and then the peg could float turn... ha, stick some thread lock in there, and tighten the bejexus out of it... be Foyne, I rekun! Otherwise apply a bit of imagination and injin-you-ity and find a bolt 'some-here'...
B~U~T.. as its essentially a big-ish pad-=lock, what springs to MY mind, is a tool cable... nowt to do with storage... but in decent hardware stored, DIY shops and probably halfords, you can often get simple security cables. a 6 or 8mm braiItyItIded cable, with an eye at each end in a plastic sleeve, intended to thread through things like push-bikes or ladders in the garage or back of a shed.
Cables are not the hardest thing to get through... B~U~T they are better then nothing, tend to be a bit more convenient than a heavy chain, and you can thread the two eyes through the shackle of a lock like that, and teather the bike down to something a bit more immovable, like a lamp-post or metal barrier fence like they oft have outside he supermarket or concreted into the pavement, in the street.
Its an extra layer of security to prevent the casual wheel away or lift into the back of a van.... and a heck of a lot more convenient than a heavy chain, that's nearly always too short!
They are deceptively cut-proof too.. they don't have the ultimate break strain or shear strain of a chain, B-U-T.... is they have tools to get through a 6 or 8mm cable, then they'd probably be tooled up to get through a chain anyway.
End of the day, they really wannit, they gonna have it, its just how hard you make it for them along the way, and how deturmined they will be to try... Most disc locks are a bit of a laugh to a half clued up scroat anyway, they are made of monkey metal that will crack like biscuit with just a little persuasion, what you show stands some chance to be a bit more sturdy... so wht not back it with a cable to give some of the chain it down protection of a chain, even if it's not the strongest....
How do you carry it though?
Well, that bracket may not be the best, but its something. Used to be deriggeur at one tome to clamp mini-D-locks around indicator stems.... if that's any suggestion for you... but, back to that injun-you-ity, and seeing what convenient bolts you have around the bike!

The correct place to store Oxford security products is on the floor where your bike used to be.

There are numerous Oxford chains and most of them are craptacular.

The Oxford Monster chain for example can be cut with bolt croppers in 14 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBXvcFYZhig&feature=emb_title

Who carries bolt cutters when a battery angle grinder is cheaper, more effective and easier to hide under you shell suit (or whatever the little scrotes wear nowadays).

The link to the bloke with bolt cutters: Looks like he's struggling on the nest with a big strong woman. Heck at the end he drops to his knees too.
Erm yeah - battery grinders these days or if it's not secured to something the bike will simply be picked up and taken.
