Long Key Barrel (4V) Removal.. mantaining steering lock?
« on: June 27, 2018, 04:38:49 AM »
Hi guys, been searching on here for a while.. but never found the response for this specific question above. I read about ignition switch cleaning (done) or moving the key switch to another location... anyway i’d like to shorten/move that ugly barrel key case without losing the precious functionality of the steering lock. Is there any way this can be done? Thanks fellow brickers

The fork lock.. key turned CCW to the first spot, while the handlebar sits on its extreme right. Petty thief deterrent

With a population only 18% the size of the USA, it has more moto notta thefts than the USA so you're both correct!  :clap:

2014 Italy–population approximately 60 million
Moto notta thefts ~55000

2014 USA–population approximately 320 millon
Moto notta thefts ~47,000

greetings...

its easily defeated and known to stick locked...

motos when heisted are generally picked up by 4 or 6 strong men and loaded into vans and driven away...

to deter a roller you need a disk lock on both front discs and a clamp lock on rear wheel... and loud alarm...

Removing the fairing and cutting off the rear frame loop makes the bike lighter and easier for the thieves to lift into the van.  Also save a bunch of time once it gets to the garage.
