I have been working on a quick/fast and simple way to secure my Wart Hog bike,
while I am in the Post office or the store for a very short temporary time.
Option 1.
I was eyeing my OLD Honda Trail 90 system, turn the handle bars 90* to left,
and use the keyed lock to extend a steel plunger into a steel flat plate that is part of the fork system, thereby locking the handle bars, so that it cannot be turned/used.
Gave up on that Idea, as I did NOT know what the parts/spec's are of the head tube bearings, and what is inside the head tube etc, and went with Option 2.
Option 2.
This is a piece of hardened 3/8" diameter woven steel cable,
(this cable cannot be cut with HD side cutter pliers or a 2' long bolt cutters),
21" total overall length, with a swaged eyes at each end, to attach a Master padlock thru the eyelets.
Will be covered with HD Shrink tubing to reduce any scratching etc.
To use, I just run one end of the cable thru the top of the front fork and around the main cross bar, behind the front fork head tube, the handlebars are turned 90*degrees either left or right, and a padlock secures both end eyed ends together.
With the padlock secured, you cannot turn/straighten the handlebars to ride/drive away, so you'll have to drag a 100lb bike away.
Plus, if you mess with my bike, a very sensitive and LOUD alarm will be going off,
and you won't like the reception you'll get from me.
Photo's to follow.
