Disc Lock for T3, etc
Perazzimx14:
Disc locks, chains, cables alarms are all good at one thing....keeping honest people honest. For a thief there are but small stumbling blocks that will not keep them from doing as they intend.
The good news is Guzzi's are not desirable to steal.

Sorry, I have no direct answer, but here's another possible solution -- I am building a hydraulic parking brake into my trike. It's a valve that is installed in the brake line. You press the valve knob and the brakes lock. Press again to unlock. The valve is about $25. It can be installed so it's handy but not obvious.

Thanks for the info.
Can you provide pics and/or availability of the unit please? Guess they wouldn't have them here in Oz so a U.S. supplier details would be appreciated. Again thanks.

This is an example of the device -- all are more or less the same look and cost. The differences are that some have 1/8"npt fittings and some are metric.

If you think your bike might be stolen then I guess I'd go for an alarmed system of some sort.
When I asked the cops around here about it, they said most bike thefts are not deterred by locks. The thieves just pick the bike up (or tip it over onto a heavy pad), put it in a van/trailer and drive off.
I've never had a 'popular' bike so have not used any of these theft deterrent devices. My first bike didn't have a keyed ignition switch (the factory one broke). It had a 'master' circuit breaker just under the seat. Reach under, switch it on and go.
