Kyle Bradshaw of www.cruisercustomizing.com talks about and shows a sampling of the industry's most popular Motorcycle Locks from OnGuard, Kryptonite, Kuryakyn, and Bully. Some of the most popular lock categories are as follows: Disc Locks The most popular form of motorcycle locks are disc locks as they are small, fairly light weight, and provide a great visual deterrent. Xena disc locks go a step farther by offering a 120 db Alarm integrated into the lock! Cable Locks Cable locks allow riders to lock up their bike, gear, and even multiple bikes either together or to a stationary object. Cables offer good visual deterrents, but are one of the "least" effective when it comes to security. U Locks are strong, portable, and provide greater security than cables. Chain Locks provide the ultimate protection... but are very heavy and abrasive. Some Key elements to look into and think about when shopping for a lock are the following: Anti Theft Guarentee Strength Rating Pin Size (will it fit your disc???) Locks are a very important accessory if you are seeking to keep safe from criminals. Thank you for watching this Cruiser Customizing Tip of the Week.
