Wheel lock for my Rear wheel?

Does anybody know if there is a locking rear wheel lug for the bike?

I no longer have a garage (she got it) but I do have a covered parking spot and a post that I am locking my VFR to.

Thanks in advance,

Rob in Tampa/ Clearwater now...

I have a disc lock on the front already. I am paranoid/ I was raised by a Police officer that trusted no one.

I think he's asking for a wheel lock so no one will steal his wheel, if that is what youre asking, you can use any wheel lock offered by Honda automobiles with alloy wheels. Honda uses a ball seat type lugs so you can go to any Honda car dealer and buy a lock set for say a newer gen Honda Fit with alloy wheels and they locks will work.

 

The factory Honda automotive wheel locks might not fit. I should say the key might not fit the bore opening of the VFR wheel. Not a deal breaker you may just have to try a set of aftermarket wheel locks. If OEM Honda does't work take one your lug nuts to your local auto parts store or wheel shop. Both should have a good selection of locking lugs. A good wheel shop should also have some fancy colored anodized ones if your looking for a little bling.

 

They fit, that's how i was able to source black lugs for my Viffer....it was for a Honda Fit. They are even the same diameter for the lug wrench so no additional tool was needed.

 

They key fits? Nice!

 

Yes it does,what it is the lock set lug is slightly smaller then the normal lug so the lock socket is about the same as using a normal wrench on a normal nut. And since the automotive lug comes as a set of 4 you might as well run a lock on all 4 lugs haha.

 

Yes, that is what I am looking for.

I think the front/reat locks are pretty much a deterent....

Put another couple disc locks on there & nobody will even LOOK at it~

 

If someone wants your bike they are going to scout it. If there are disc locks on both wheels they will just bring spare wheels. If your chain merely goes through the rear wheel or swingarm they will again just take the wheel off and chain is removed, the chain must go through the frame and it needs to be thicker than a standard issue bolt cutter can deal with.

There was a reddit post fairly recently from a professional who dealt in stolen bikes, he said a real thief is going to ride the bike away not throw it in a van or truck. The only real deterrent is making your bike look less appealing than those around you with locks and covers. Keep in mind VFRs aren't a high demand bike so are incredibly unlikely to be stolen compared to say a GSXR1000 or Busa.

That is a "Kryptonite" disc lock, cable and U lock (U lock is a level -4)that I bought/ have owned since 1996 that I used when I first began riding. That cable saved my motorcycle (FZR 600) from being stolen then. I sold that bike but hung onto the Kryptonite locks all these years.

I will be buying a bike cover soon as I can. I gave my old cover away and it was to small for the VFR anyway... I have not ignored any advice but yes, I was mostly inquiring about a locking wheel lug. There are other bikes at my apt complex that are not locked up at all. I have the only VFR here though.

Just my 2c (I live in South Africa, so I am somewhat qualified:biggrin-new Try get the bike closer and make everything tighter and more cramped. Looking at you pics there seems to be a lot of space to get in with a chisell or even a grinder. Would second locking up the frame too. The 4th gen has a cuttout in the frame that is apparently for chaining up the bike, don't know if your model does. Another thing to remember is to be really brutal in your thinking, thieves don't care about what damage they have to do to get at something.

 

Almax chain and lock, they're amazing uncropable http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/

 

A buddy of mine is letting me borrow his Xena disc lock w/alarm. I plan on buying the locking wheel lug next weekend.
