Motorcycle security when away from home

Does the shackle have a rubber covering? If so, maybe trim a bit back, if it is stopping the lock and shackle hitting the optimum angle.

It did but I cut a bit off to allow me to use my Pragmasis noose chain. This combined with the fact that I can only find 2 of the 3 keys will, I suspect, make the conversation at SBS fairly short.

I'll probably keep this one for use in the garage and buy a DXL1000 when I next get a discount code.

I used a big chain and spinning padlock at Leenane

Goes through front wheel and Telelever

Lives on rear pillion seat in a purpose built bag that hooks onto frame

Problem solved and aa usual it was a problem entirely of my own making.
Before I set off for SBS I tried the lock again, numerous times, with the piece of rubber I'd removed back on the lock. It worked perfectly every time.
I'll leave it on there and only remove it when I have to use the noose chain as a noose chain, if that makes sense.

Ah, so the rubber doubles as a seal and an assembly guide for the hamfisted

There lies ya problem.I also cut some of the rubber sleeve of my DX1000 and have exactly the same issue,can be a right bastard to lock. Obviously the buffer stop has gone so it needs to be aligned dead perfect,me D100 that hasn't been cut and I've had a fair while longer has never been an issue.

Oxford have a two new locks on the market




Think it’s a bit wider than Litelok and Hiplok




Not cheap at £179.99 but cheaper than the Hiplok.


And the bigger S2



S2 is £219.99

John Milbank at Bennett’s has been attacking them





His findings out soon but think he rates them

I was looking at one of those today, they do a longer version at £200. It looks like my 13mm Pragmasis loop chain will work with it too.

I’ll be interested to see how the Oxford S2 performs.
The S1 and S2 are wider than both Litelok and Hiplok.
I have a Litelok X1 but looking to get a second, longer lock so may get the S2 once I’ve seen John Millbank’s vid.
