 In planning our rode trip I looked at the detachable with concern. I just can't spend the $$$ on the locking hardware on the market, so what to do? Then the Wile E Coyote (genius at work) came out of me and this is what I did. Drilled a small hole for a 10-32 screw, installed it with a nylock nut and plastic chrome license plate frame cover (all in stock here at the Kings Garage). This will keep a thief from running away with a tour pak, he/she would have to remove the left saddle bag (secured with allen head bolts on the front mounts) then remove the cover and screw. Tools he/she would need: Phillips screwdriver, 3/8 wrench, allen wrench.

Looking up, the screw is long and will keep you from lifting the tour pak.

Looks effective and maybe the best part, what you got in it a $1.98?

Nice, sometimes you have to think like a ( no good rotten ) thief !

Not bad for a Coyote

Different for sure

Thanks for sharing your tip.  If you were the MoCo you would put them in a pakage, call it a security kit and charge $49.95

How about using a modified(shortened) trailer hitch lock with a rubber washer to snug it up?
