Default Disk Locks and their Rivals.....

I think its about time i got one of these as the old Stop Lock is looking slightly worse for wear now, all i'd like to know is..........

1. Are they any good?
2. Where could i get one, other than Halfords?
3. How much do they cost? (Halfords wants £80 i think )
4. Whats the score with other steering locks?

CheeRs all

I like them, they are a good visual deterrent.

Although I would prefer a snap-off boss as i ben told with the new style diclock, the arm can be forced open if someone holds the disk in place. The old ones utilised a mahoosive padlock of your choice.

That said, they are the most annoying thing in the world when you are B-road blasting and you can hear it twatting the hell out of your seats subframe
