Modern Vespa

Anyone got any recommendations of locks or devices that will fit the later disc wearing P range?
Many thanks.

I have one of these. I'm pretty sure the cable diameter is thin enough to get through in the front wheel area.

That said, it of course wouldn't be to hard to cut through, but if someone did... the alarm is pretty damn loud.

(Caveat: I live close to the coast where it's pretty humid. The alarm doesn't like humidity at all and gets a little quirky when damp.)

Again, not recommended as a theft preventive, just a possible deterrent.

2 cents...

Not especially for disc brake models, but I use a U-lock on my PK whenever there is no possibility to lock it up properly to a post or something.
The U-lock goes through the brake pedal lever and it locks up behind the centerstand. So it puts some pressure on the back brake and additionally the stand can not be opened up, both things make it a bit harder to drag along by a possible thief.
Of course this can not prevent lifting the scoot up to a van etc
Here is some pics of my solution:

try to get the fat part thru there and it will lock up your wheel

Good advice! I will check it out, thanks.

so I've been doing similar thing for a while, and Aaron reminds me one day, what about cable stretch...

Is that a potential problem here with this approach?

Another thing I've done is griplock on the clutch.

i don't buy into the stretch theory

steel wrap cable is a none stretch item

bad install and maintnance is a bigger issue

yes,a cable may settle into it's adjusters and ends

that's it in my opinion

That's a good idea! That and a gorrila allarm (just ask Buglake) would be good diterents.

I use a kryptonite chain and padlock - I can't remember the name (I think it was a New York or something) but it's the heaviest duty chain they make for bicycles. Put it around the front shock and chain it to anything I can. The chain was the only manageable one I could find that has a good report against bolt cutters...

Some good ideas here But idealy tatchman approved to bring the insurance down. Im a tight old ba@%ard i know.
