Disc Lock, how do they work?

 

Ok. . . The subject may be somewhat misleading.

I'm now on the market/looking for a disc lock for my front rotor of my
stock 2000 Honda Shadow A.C.E.


decent sized hole to clamp into for security, after taking a look at
the rotor on my Shadow, it appears that there are no large open holes
to put a disc lock, the only holes on the rotor are the cross-drilled
holes, which appear to be too small to fit a disc lock into.

Are there any small (but worthwhile) disc locks that are small enough
to fit in one of the cross-drilled holes on my bikes front rotor?

I'd guess that the cross-drilled holes in the rotor are 1/4" maybe
slightly larger.

Thanks

Mike

It's easy to say a war is so important your neighbor should go fight it for you.

I dropped my bike in a parking lot last year.  It was at the
Renaissance Faire.  The M/C parking area (right in front of the gate!)
had maybe 20 Harleys and my own ST1100.  It was gravel and I'm just
not good backing up in gravel.  I lost my footing and the beast went
gently down on its tipover wing.

Before I could get off the bike, three Harley guys came running over
and lifted her gently back on her wheels.  They wouldn't even let me
help!  Not one of them said 'Jap crap' or 'rice burner' or anything
like that.  8^)

You need find a disc lock that would fit your disc.
They come in different sizes.
