Thinking about  security, I have  a larger heavy chain and lock for the garage but i don't want to lug it around. I have a steering lock but no key. replacements are available from  you know who. What I'm not sure of is how to get at this to replace it. There is a pin and small plate holding the lock assy. in place. Can anybody advise the best and least damaging to paintwork method of getting the thing out.
Answers on a postcard..

what other security options are available

Unfortunately, regarding security, you must stop thinking like a 'nice guy', and start thinking like the rat who wants your bike. Forget about the steering lock, when the rat decides he wants your bike, he is not going to ride it away, it will be him plus a couple of mates in a van and they will just lift straight in and be gone. They will worry about the steering lock when they are in their secret 'lock-up'. I also have a bleedin' ugly great chain and strong padlock which goes with me and bike. I just loop the chain into a figure of eight, secure the two ends with the padlock, and it travels on the pillion seat held on with aerolastics using the lifting handle and right hand rear indicator. (No carrier!).  When reaching destination, the bike is secured to something immovable making sure the chain goes round the frame tubes or front forks, not just the front wheel. Remember, the chain might look ugly, but it's a lot prettier than returning to and empty parking space. Be lucky, Michael.

Chains don't help since the arrival of battery powered angle grinders.

I was thinking more about the opportunistic scrote to whom noise and time can be a hindrance to them. If a group of professional toe rags decide that your bike or car is the one they want it will be targeted and they will pick the time and the place, and you will only be able to stop them by blowing their frigging heads off. Or is that illegal?
