Anyone store a chain and lock under the seat?

[Neworleans]

I need some security for my bike while at work and seems the best bet is a heavy duty chain and lock. I was looking at the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Chain with Disc Lock - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore Seems like its gonna be to big to fit under the seat.. anyone have some suggestions?

First :welcome: to the forum! Great people here on this forum and I'm sur eyou'll enjoy it.

As I remember there's quite a lot of space and I'm thinking this will fit but if not maybe you could put it in a bag and strap it to the seat behind you or leave it on-site where you're going to lock it.

I guess it really just depends on where you work and how secure you want it to be. I use this one:

It won't do as much as the full chain setup, but I think it at least works as a deterrent. If I park at work, there is quite a few other bikes nearby, so at the very least it appers like more work than some of the others and it fits under my seat.

Thanks for the welcome. I work in a high-crime area, if its not bolted down it disappears. I also will need to chain it up when I get home due to the neighborhood so might have to lug it around in a backpack urgg... I liked the disc lock idea until I read about all they'd have to do is put the front tire on a skateboard and off your ride goes.
