I have a removable RK Tour Pak i use on my long road trips, i use one of these locks to secure it to the bike...acts as a deterent for sure, always keep in my bags and sometimes I use it when I get to a place where it might be warrented...it works great......no need for the HD quick release locks, I think this lock is much more of a deterrent to thieves then not seeing the tour Pak locked and they then get pissed off and do other damage to my bike.
Sometimes i use it to lock my passenger backrest...why not it's in the bag.

 

I usually used the quick detach and stored anything removable in the hotel room when touring. I have used spare cable locks from gun purchases to secure things to the bike on occasion. I keep three of them on the bike.

 

If I had spent the money for a tourpack, damn sure it would be locked onto the bike somehow.

 

There was just a thread a couple weeks ago about a guy getting something lifted off of his bike.

My advice: If it's quick detachable, lock it up. Brukus sells an outstanding solution.

 

Thanks for all the info / advice

This is funny....also the least of my worries. Insurance will be worth covering the bike and parts but just the tour pak isn't worth filing a claim.

 

How cheap is a tour pak?

My comprehensive deductible is $100, and doesn't go against my policy. Why wouldn't it be worth filing a claim?

 

My way of thinkin is if the thief wants it, it's history. Having a bad time with the ******* that need a tail light lens lately, too easy to pop off. Oh well, part of the scooter life, let the bulldog loose!

 

I'm going to have about $900 in my TP. All ded are $1000 on my policy. Maybe I should revise the deductibles

 

Jesus - I've heard of people having $1000 deductibles. My comp deductible is $100, and collision $250. Definitely look at those.

 

There is different level of thieves out there. A lot of the pos punks are looking for a quick way to get money so they want the easy non locked parts. A few buddies and I went to a rally out in the WI boonies. They thought it was a "good area" to leave a bikes accessories unlocked overnight. WRONG. They came out in the morning to missing saddlebags, tourpaks and other misc stuff. I take no chances cause Ive had **** broken into and stolen. My bike was locked down and the tp was in the hotel room. Nothing missing from my bike.
