I just mounted a set of the VRSC Saddlebags yesterday...
Has anyone heard of a method of securing the zippers from being opened by theives? How about a locking system for the seat, that will keep access to the fuel and ECU secure? I work in Philadelphia and refuse to park my "11" N-Rod Special anywhere close-by without a solution to these issues.
Personal Experience; On two consecutive nights last year my son came out of his apartment to find that his bike had been shoved off of it's kickstand. Fortunately, he was riding a twenty-year-old honda which continued to run after bending its shift-rod, handlebar and turn signal lamp back into place. On the second night he decided to chain it up to a sign-post expecting this to resolve the issue but the bike was up-ended again the following night as well. I offered to spend the next-night in my car about 60 yards away but he decided to chain-it up close to his apartment doorway instead, and he moved from the location shortly thereafter.
I realize that there's no easy way of preventing this level of vandalism, but I'd like to practice some good common-sense prevention to protect my saddlebags contents and the bikes vital health.
Once I arrive at work I'm not able to leave the premises for the next eight-hours. I've got the Security Package as well as the siren and Remote receiver, neither of which will protect these two vulnerable locations on the bike.
Any knowledge regarding security solutions for these two area's would be greatly appreciated.
