Project Lock

[rocky burns]

Having been surprised at how much steel the scrotes who stole a trailer from me got through, I've been wondering if using some box section stuffed with Kevlar from some old chainsaw trousers would disable the grinder before they run out of disks and batteries.

I suppose at the end of the day nothing I'd indestructible. It's a case of trying to slow them down, as you say.. if someone has to take 20 minutes to cut something from there at least it gives you a chance to hear what's going on..

Suppose we could add a detonator and some c4 to it, or wire it to the mains

Face facts if they really want your bike or flash car they will get it , they will do what used to happen with Cossies in the early 90's, ie turn up mob handed with pick axe handles or worse , kick in your front door and take your keys.

The above lock will easilt defeat the average arseh@le of a thief who will find an easier target as the time and noise to overcome it will increase the time they take to commit the theft and increase the chances of being caught

Don't get me wrong I think the lock is a great design, and agree it's all about slowing them down. My prob is I'm fairly remote and they can make as much noise as they like, we defeated giant bolt crops with heavier chains and shields, the present tool of choice as you say is the angle grinder, having seen Kevlar stop a chainsaw I wondered if it would do the same to a disc cutter. For the time being I just dump a big lump of concrete in front of the gate, but that's a pain in the arse.

Ok....

Been waiting for the locks I ordered to turn up.

I did as Niel w said and wrapped the outer tube in shrink wrap to protect the inside of the hub, I had thought about this but Great minds think alike

The lock turned up and so I drilled the bar to accommodate it.

The lock again is protected by a housing 12 and 10mm steel

The lock is now behind a casing so it can not be tampered with

Its funny that I was talking to my brother on the way it worked, and so I started to paint it up.
It was quite quickly that a design name sprung to mind.

I now had come up with a product that I could possibly sell..

[Marks adventure]

I like the look of that, what would be the cost?

 

[Flaming T]

Brilliant.......

 

[rocky burns]

Rather than painting or coating the hollow pin that contacts the middle of the final driver I would get some large diameter heat shrink as it will be friendlier to the bike

I like the look of that, what would be the cost?

I didn't really build it to cost as it was for me.. I'm just looking into the pricing now. It's unbelievable the amount of work that's gone into it..

I'll work out some prices tonight and see where I'm at.

There will also be another one hopefully which will work from the centre stand position

Do you mean this . Hope fully a bigger and loud deterrent

I may be interested in that... will keep watching this space.

 

[Boxed-in]

I like the concept, it's always the simple ideas that are the best, one minor comment, if bolted to the ground, and leaving the bike on the main stand, you will have to be very precise in aligning the bike, the hole and the wheel.

Already have that sorted I think

You have far too much time on your hands ! Does look good though

 

[Tractors are go]

Looks good; what price peace of mind ?

For the mk2 version can you encompass a space for a claymore mine, just a thought &#55357;&#56838;

I like this. For added fun it needs to be developed to include an ejector seat firing mechanism under the bike seat (pointing upwards of course). That will complete the 'education' process for the scrotes.

I have been working out some prices with regards to materials, labour and overheads.

Cost of this would be £185 to include a decent lock and 6 bolts. You can minus £20 if you want to get the bolts and lock yourself.

The centre stand version will be £10 more as there will be separate locators for the stand.

Shipping I would think, will be around £20-25 For UK due to the weight (will update on that tomorrow)

 

[Biot]

It would be worth seeing if you can make one for Ducati bikes as well. I'm sure a lot would be interested.
Typically I've put down 50mm of block insulation, OSB sheets then an oil proof covering on my garage floor.

 

[zoltan]

How heavy and can you make a version that fits in a top box

You could always use 2 foot bolts

 

[rocky burns]

The mk2 version is now done. This works with the bike on the centre stand.

Also I found a possible weak spot, so I have added a 4" extender to the wheel side as not to allow some one to cut the final drive bar.

There will be 2 of these locators for the centre stand, these screw to the floor to enable the bike to sit in the same position when ever it is put on the stand so that the rear axel hole is aligned.

This version will also fit with the Tc bikes and the 1150. I just have to check the centre stand is the same or different stand location blocks may be needed.


This is a picture with a hp2 final drive and a gsa rear wheel with the tkc80 just to make sure it will fit with different profile tyres.
