Default Locking a solo tour pack mount?

Hey everyone ... just throwing this out there to see if anyone has any ideas on this.. I have a solo seat with a tour pack mounted on a solo quick detach mounting rack., the separate locks you buy at the dealer does not fit on the solo quick detach..only the two up rack so this is now a theft magnet.. does anyone have any ideas how to secure this tour pack? Thanks for any input

Pistol trigger lock is what I use on all of my detachables.

Just run it between the mount and a solid mounted part of the bike.

I used zip ties when I had solo mounted tour pack. Once you have the tour pack on the bike and the spring loaded clamp in place. Just put the zip tie on the shaft, tighten and cut excess off. Then if someone does walk up and try to take it off, the quick release won't move, and they won't know why. Once you cut the excess off, they are almost invisible. You will need a sharp knife to cut the tie when you want to take it off.

You could also drill a hole in the bottom of the tour pack and run a small cable lock or though the mounting hardware and into the tour pack. with the lock for it inside the tour pack.

I have the same concern. I like the zip lock option.
