Going back a while ago I came up with an idea of building a BMW Motorcycle lock (initially for the water cooled Gsa) But with a couple of alterations it will now fit 1150 to the newest water cooled bikes.
I still have to try it on the standard Gs but have no reason why it will not fit.
Since then I've been adjusting some bits on it and have come up with a final product that is ready to go to market.
The lock is laser cut from 10mm steel and has 4 x 8mm ground anchors to hold it to the garage floor.( These are tamper proof as 2 are under the rear wheel)
It has a set of centre stand location plates which are also screwed to the ground to enable the bike to sit in the same position every time it is mounted.
There is a 30mm centre pin which locates into an outer 38mm pin, powder coated and covered with heat shrink (so as not to damage the hole in the final drive)
The Hinge system allows for the bike clamp to be opened as to not catch the final drive, It can also be dismantled for storage (but once bolted to the floor is tamper proof.
Its not light and weighs in at 25 Kilos ( so built to last )
I put it on my brothers Gsa Tc earlier today so it can be seen doing its job, the feet on the centre stand are slightly different on the older bikes( I have designed some different feet for these but are not made up as yet.
Just in the stages of getting the website off the ground ( www.venusbiketrap.co.uk )
The waiting time will be around the 3 week mark, as I don't want to go mad on orders at the moment
RRP will be £249 on UKGSER to include postage to Uk only addresses
You will receive
1 x Venus Bike Trap
1 x pair of centre stand feet with 4 x Screws (These will have to be specified as to what age bike)
1 x Lock (with Keys)
4 X ground anchor Bolts
