[Tonio600]

I have nowhere to put it on the bike, no room for anything under the seat.
I was thinking about using a rucksack, but then I'm not very happy carrying it in my back knowing it can do some damage to my backbone in case of a fall...

Any idea?

I drill small hole in the number plate & just lock it on.

Under the seat, along with phone, sunglasses and large chain

R1's.... the way forward

ABUS make a bracket to attach the Granit models onto a passenger footpeg

I put it in my pocket!

Never liked disc locks as it would be far too easy for me to forget that it's there.
If I did though, I would either bungee to the pillion seat or put it inside a pouch on top of the bottom yoke.

if on a monster, you can clip/fasten a pouch to the rear subrame, just at the side of the seat where it can be easily kept when not in use.

I would not put it in there What if you fall off? I bet landing on this big lump of steel would be SORE

I use an ABUS Granit with bracket on the rear foot pegs hanger

Give it someone with an R1 to carry it for you ! LOL

I leave mine in the garage.

If some B*****d is going to nick your bike a disc lock is not going to stop em.

By leaving it in the garage I reduce the risk of carrying it on my person and possible injury in a spill, also means that there is no way I can leave it on and try to ride off.

If you feel the need to put a lock on your bike when out and about why not put a small padlock through a link in your chain. Less obvious so less chance of em seeing it to play around with it. Will stop em dead if they try to push or ride the bike away. Also less hassle to carry around.
