dietCOKaine 05-05-2008, 10:22 AM Any way to lock the seat down? maybe oddly shaped allen bolts to replace the OEM's that require a special tool for removal? Pretty easy for someone to release the 2 bolts, lift the seat and jack the battery fuses...cut wires. MySpivey 05-05-2008, 12:57 PM You driving your bike through the hood? Bike on bricks style? coopgt1 05-05-2008, 07:33 PM Must be a lot of folks walking around in his area with allen wrenches in there pockets. :shifty Suzuki Squid 05-05-2008, 07:53 PM http://joecarr.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/funnyscrew.jpg They're called Security Torx (pronounced Torq) Heads. Its just like a regular torx head, but you have to have the special bit that has a little hole drilled in the middle to accommodate (slip over) the little pin in the middle. I'm sure you can order the right bolt size/length and thread pitch from a bolt store, fastenal for example... luvx77x8o4 05-05-2008, 09:09 PM its faster to lift the bike and throw it in a minivan or truck than to take out the allen bolts. :cheers dietCOKaine 05-05-2008, 10:01 PM http://joecarr.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/funnyscrew.jpg They're called Security Torx (pronounced Torq) Heads.

In LA if it ain't bolted down it will get taken. I have my bike locked to an imovable post, but the battery and fuses etc can be taken in 10 seconds. dietCOKaine 05-05-2008, 10:02 PM http://joecarr.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/funnyscrew.jpg They're called Security Torx (pronounced Torq) Heads.

Any idea what the size/length is for the K8 750 seat bolts? homig101 05-06-2008, 04:51 PM have you ever considered an alarm? you can get a car alarm installed that pages you for under $250.........i know its off topic, but why not... they are more likly to steal then to sabatoge... a9xs 05-06-2008, 05:03 PM them star torq prolly wont help tho, i got a full set of them tamper proof torq bits in my toolbox at work...i know not everyone has a set but its not hard to get a set either....if someone steals your battery thats the least of your worries atleast they didnt steal your whole bike. dragonz20 05-07-2008, 10:28 AM okay stupid question. I was curious and popped out the backseat of my bike to check out the bag of tools that came with the bike and it was fastened tight to something. I didn't have a lot of time to look and my garage was rather dark. How are you suppose to pull that bag of tools out of that trunk???.. u just pull? it seemed really fastened tight... i am gonna find a flashlight and check it out nxt time but i figured to ask in here since its on my mind right now as i am working (or trying to work)... a9xs 05-07-2008, 05:21 PM if you look there is a big black rubber band looking thing holding the bag of tools down, just pull it to either side to get it to come off the hook its on and you now have access to your bag o' tools | ||
