We now carry the CLM line of Handlebar Locks for Scooters. CLM is the manufacturer of the Genuine Accessory Handlebar Lock for Piaggio, Vespa and Yamaha that you can buy in Europe, but not in the US. The diifference is a sticker that says Vespa, Piaggio or Yamaha and fits perfectly on top of the CLM logo. Unfortunately, they won't just send us a bunch. I saw a lot of these locks used in Milan on scooters parked overnight on the sidewalks.

The advantage of this sort of lock is that it not only prevents most theft, but it also prevents the sort of damage someone might inflict before giving up on stealing your scooter like sticking a screwdriver in the ignition, tearing off the front and ripping out the wires, breaking the steering lock or pushing it until the disk lock stops it and the bike falls over. They see this and move on to easier pickings.
. Also, you will use it, because it's not a big production to take out of the seat or topcase and run through your tires, and your hands don't get dirty.

Here is a link to all of them (so far)...

Will these attach to the heavy bar end weights of a GT/GTS?

Would it be possible to find out. I looked on the euro site and they seemed to have two models that were attached to bar-end weights.

I would be very interested in getting this if it could fit my 2018 GTS 300.

I have sent multiple emails to Artago trying to find out if they carried one for my bike. I didn't even know there was someone else making these kinds of locks.

The instructions say to mount them to the end of the handlebar. Whether or not you could adapt them so you could mount one to a handlebar weight is not something I know. I haven't seen any photos of one mounted to a handlebar weight.
