[TJS]

This fits multiple Suzuki's, but here it's a '93 GSXR 750 top triple on '95 GSXR 750 forks, going on a Bandit 400.

Not sure how much Id trust that. Old Suzuki locks are net exactly high security, but around here crackheads can open those type of locks in a second using a bic pen.

I have to agree - they just aren't that good.  Had to larf at removing the original lock, how long to remove the security bolts then replaced with std. cap heads when you can buy new security bolts! I know we've all done it but on a vid about 'security' its funny!

[TJS]

Around here, stolen bikes are done by snapping the steering lock, then driving a screwdriver into the key lock. So when the bike is recovered; you have to replace the key ignition regardless. Nothing stops a meth-head or crack head....or two big motherf.... with a van or truck!

talking of security, have you seen them van's that have the floor cut out ?  they open the rear doors reverse over the bike and shut the doors, then lift up the bike and their off

You kidding? If not I'm scared!...or is that just in London? The last time I was in the UK, bike theft was a huge topic!  Post a video!

What do they do about the van's rear axle/diff etc ? Gonna have a bit of a problem if they cut the middle out of that.

Sounds a bit "James Bond spaceship" to me.

Sounds more like ' I heard about this on the internet the other day' with no proof. As said above what about the axle and holding the sides of the van together with nothing between the doors. Then what happens once they reverse over the intended target - they have to winch it up off the ground and support it on what? Someone's dream I think - why f**k around when three big lads can throw an average bike into a van in 20 - 30 seconds and be gone!

Sounds like my K8 top with a slingshot ignition barrel and a modern long key to suit!

you guys never heard of front wheel drive   

I saw a security video years ago,  it was a custom built van and yeah a couple of blokes in the back with a winch, it was sound proofed to help hide the sound of an alarm.   

i don't need to prove anything to anyone by the way,  if you don't believe me i don't give a shit.
