The Gordon Lockdown is definitely a good product for those who can afford it.
Just an FYI - we have yet to have anyone take one of our secured products. There are way too many easy to steal, unsecured saddlebags, seats, detachable windshields, sissy bars, tour packs, etc. out there for a thief to worry about which security torx they may need. It would be nice if our sales of our products rivaled the amount of sales of the Harleys and accessories out there - but a good comparison would be pennies as compared to 100's of thousands to put it in perspective.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the Brukus setup just a allen bolt with a couple of washers that can be purchased at any hardware store for less than a couple of bucks? Don't want to rain on their parade but tell me what the difference is that cost $ 16.00. Confused.
I carry tamper resistant torx bits in my tool roll. If a thief wants you seat, it won't matter to him if he need a phillps screwdriver, or a tamper resistant torx driver.
In almost 45 years of riding on public roads, I have yet to have a seat or saddlebag stolen, whether they were locked or not. Changing my seat screw from Phillips to tamper resistant torx won't change those odds in the slightest.

It is not a regular allen bolt, it is a tamper resistant torx (torx bolt with metal pin in the middle). You must have the right size torx with the recess in the tip of the bit in order to remove. Still not that expensive, but to some people the $16 is worth it to not have to figure out exactly what size (thread pitch and length) bolt is needed and then go out and find it. Same reason people pay dealerships to do things as simple as an oil change. Either they have money to blow or to them the effort outweighs the cost (or would it be the cost outweighs the effort? either way I think you know what I'm trying to say)
