Default Windshield Locks?
Ride the interstate to work in the morning but I park the bike on a public street. I have a detachable windshield and am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to make it theft proof. Any ideas anyone?

Take it off, and take inside with you?

Not worth the hassle. I have a mile and a half walk with a lot of gear (military). When it warms up I'll just brave the wind. I was just hoping there was an easy part that I wasn't aware of. Thanks for the answers though.

I am sure you can find some sort of small cable lock to use? I think i seen some at Home Depot.

You could always drill a couple holes through the lexan down low towards the triple trees & use a cable lock for a pistol/gun.

You could always use docking clamps, but that would take away the quick detachable feature.
