Installed AltRider lower crash bars
Took a 30 mile test ride to make sure the bars are installed right that made me cross the 100 mile mark

Another, anti-theft system:
I was trying to think of some “safer” anti-theft system than the starter immobilizer, and the handlebar lock. These only have a "placebo" effect, we believe that they will not be able to steal it because they have these systems, but the reality and the different forms of theft (loading them in a van, or taking them away for a couple of meters and then loading them ), show that we need something more secure. Chaining them to a tree or post "maybe" is safer, but the chain / padlock has to be of generous proportions, apart from having to carry them everywhere ... what I had been thinking about was "lock the central stand” "I don't know, maybe weld a perforated plate to it, to place a padlock (somewhere inaccessible for a pliers) and to serve as lock for the center stand, I think that locking the center stand would be a good, economical option. , light, and fast to put on and take off, it would complicate the attempted robbery a lot, we would have to think about "lifting it and carrying it", at least 4/5 people would be needed ... ... if there is any suggestion / correction, it will be welcome

It is my opinion that someone that really wants something they will figure it out and take it.
I have a few rules i fallow with my bike. "out of sight out of mind" is my #1. My motorcycle is kept in my shop indoors all year round and only comes out for a ride and goes back in after, advertise by leaving it out is like asking to be stolen. Now that is fine if you have storage.
On the road i do have a cable lock but generally never take it unless i'm on a multi day trip. Otherwise i rely on the OE system and the typical handle bar lock.
The bike is fat and heavy and would require more then one person to take, if they want it that bad, take it.
That is why you should carry an INSURANCE policy, i wouldn't ride without one.

Seems like I’ve seen this center stand lock idea before. Can’t recall when or where though.

I totally agree. And, yes, if they don't know you have something . . . . they won't even try to steal it. But I read a report years ago that said thieves will go for the "low hanging fruit" first. Bar locks apparently are easy to defeat. A chain, wheel lock, etc., is usually enough to cause the thief to move on to the unprotected/unsecure "low hanging fruit". I do like the idea of locking the center stand in the "lifted" position.
Me too.
Around here the thieves just tip the bike into a stolen pickup or van and they're gone.
Note the battery die grinder to cut the chain in this one.

Wonder if they ever got caught ? Thankfully there’s not a lot of that going on around here.
Every time I see this I get upset because it took me a long time to be able to get enought $ go buy it! so I try to prevent as much as I can to be stolen.
S10 is heavy, I can hadly belive two people can lift a S10 in the back of a pick up as seen in the video!
In the second video they could had done a feature film, it took them FOOOOOREEEEVEERR!
Even I do have inmovilizer in my S10 I do have a GPS with constant monitoring and has the capability to stop the engine throug an app with the cel. also has some alarms that will be send to the cel as shake, battery, movment! I think this will also help, and of course every time I do have to leave the bike in the street I consider to be as safe as possible.. Yes the thieves will go for the easy ones firts unless they are hungry.

Cymarc adapt the R1200GS stand to enable a padlock to be used.
Main stand Security padlock Locking Lug (Modification & Refurbishment)
Our Main Stand Locking Lug provides a low key additional level of security. One small addition to your main stand provides a secure location to lock a padlock.

Gave a name "Kalayan" - Bull.
This type of brazen thievery gets me ballistically angry and it happens all the time.
Seems like some states/cities in the US are much worse than others.
Unfortunately NY/NYC is one of those places.
Have you seen what the happening to the stores in California, specifically San Francisco? A law change turned a felony theft into a misdemeanor. Large groups walking into stores, taking what they want, and walking out. Nobody stopping them.
