KryptoLok DFS 10s

[zenart]

I bought this for the front wheel of my VStrom 650a as a wheel lock but it doesn't quite slide over the holes in the 650a's wheel. I just leave it waving in the big gap. Any ideas on how to widen it a bit or should I ask the dealer to send me up one that fits? I live in Townsville and bought the bike from a dealer in Brisbane.

People steal V-Stroms?    I leave mine parked on Baltimore streets with the key in it and no one looks twice at it.  

It's not a Harley or a sportbike, so pro theives won't look twice at it, and it's too weird-looking for a joyriding punk to be seen on.

Kidding asside, if your disc lock immobilizes the bike, what's the problem?

Yeah, as long as you can get it on the disc, you'll be fine.  It would be better if you could get it through one of the little disc holes, because then a thief can't get access to the little 10mm pin that locks it in place.  

I just got the DS 5, which has a 5mm pin.  There's no way the 10mm would fit the holes in my disc either.  If you feel strongly about it, I'm sure Kryptonite would understand if you wanted to swap a 10mm pin disc lock for a 5mm pin disc lock.  They've been around long enough and would immediately understand your dilemma.

I guess what I'm not mentioning is the security issue with different pin diameters.  Obviously, the 10mm (the one you have) would be more secure, but only if you use it correctly in the little disc holes and nobody can get at that pin.  The way you're using the disc lock exposes that pin.  So it would probably be a wash as to which one is more secure:  the 5mm used properly or the 10mm the way you're using it.

Either way, nobody can just walk up and roll it away.  They're going to have to do some work to get at it, and that will probably be enough to make them think twice about attacking it, which is really all you want to do with a disc lock anyway.

Pretty sure the design is the anti-theft device
