Default bike security

New from Missouri, ride a 2011 Heritage, plan on some overnight rides and wondering about some dependable locks/chain people are using. I realize if they want it bad enough they can get it.

Welcome from over here in the Great State of Maine. Look into some Abus locks.

It may sound stupid, but I take a picture of my bike parked when I am staying at a hotel. I take the picture so you can see exactly what vehicles are nearby and what spot it is parked in etc.

Well, you already have he bike security system so just lock your ignition and forks. That's all I do.

+1 Many 2 week trips never had an issue using the stock security. We also cover our bikes over nite with a non-branded cover, keeps people from coming over and poking around our bikes.

Not sure if it will fit or not. The one that I use didn't have a number on it so I looked it up in my catalog and it is the ABUS Provogue 300. In my catalog, it doesn't say anything about what lock fits what bike, I just know that the 300 lock will fit my Springer.
