Has anyone drilled a hole in the turnbuckle on the Windshield Bag so they could put a small lock on it? I know it wouldn't keep a thief out of the bag, but it would keep honest people honest, especially when you are only leaving the bike for a few minutes.

 

I have not as of yet, but I have been giving it thought as well... Have you put the locks on the saddle bags as well?

 

They they will just steal you whole windshield.

Got that locked? Then, they will take your bags.

Got them locked? Then, they will take your backrest.

Got that locked? Then, they will take something else.

Got it all locked down? Then, they will just kick it over and stomp a dent in your tank.

The best thing to do is just keep your insurance paid or stay home.

 

No, I have not put the locks on the saddlebags yet. But that is on the list as well. Did you do the install yourself? I just keep EZPass and my reading glasses (sucks getting old) in the windshield pouch, and don't want to have to stick those in a pocket when I park the bike for a couple of minutes.

And I do keep insurance paid, and I know if someone really wants to, they will get that stuff anyway, but if I can keep the honest people honest for a few moments while I dash into a store. And I am not so worried about the things to stay home, but if I can take some easy, prudent steps to discourage the majority of minor theft, why wouldn't I?

 

Yep, some of you guys worry too much. Anything that will fit in a windshield bag will fit in your pockets so take it with you if you're concerned.

Ride it and enjoy.
