First and foremost no chain is cut proof nor is any lock un-pickable. With that being said what you're really shooting for is simply deterrence. Consider where you'll be parking it a majority of the time, and any place you consider to travel to. Ideally, at any location you'd have a secure anchor point. Any such place that'll allow you to loop a chain around or through will work.

When I have it parked outside during the day I use this particular chain to secure it around a fire escape. I use the smaller version to travel with if I know I have a small enough anchor point at my destination. As others have said I'll occasionally simply wrap it through my rear tire in a pinch but it's really a horrible idea. Two people can easily throw it right in the back of a truck if you've "locked" it up this way.

I like those "cinch" type chains as you get a lot more usable length out of them. I've drilled a ~2.xx" hole in my rear plastic and installed a grommet to pass the chain through, locking my frame. (See SpoonKiller's post here to see it in detail.)

As far as locks go there's a million options to choose from. I'm not really that well versed on them so I don't think I'm the best resource. I'd simply look for a lock with a shielded and hardened shackle and some common security features implemented in the core. Here's a great article on the subject. Take a look at #4 on page 4 where it discusses different pins and their effects on pick attempts if you want greater detail.

I've heard multiple people speak to the effectiveness of the stock steering column lock so I always lock that as well. I also used a cover when I had it parked outside which is another low-cost/effective deterrent.

Based off of The Ruck Shop and many people who I have talked to about builds have all recommended the NCY gas tank cover

Amazon

TRS I recommend this one as TRS is super supportive and will make sure that your build go the way you want

For the battery I got one of these and I'm really happy with it so far:

It's pretty clean and simple to add the acid, so as long as handling that doesn't spook you, you're getting a brand new battery that's guaranteed not to have been dying on a shelf for months before it ever gets installed.

Since you stretched, get a nice shock to support the new extra. The Forsa shock is nice and fits the stock airbox. https://www.amazon.com/Forsa-Ruckus-Performance-Shock-252mm/dp/B00J4ZATZ8

Do you have rough roads, go off road? Get some Boppers for the road if you're not doing those things. Then a gas tank cover!

Looks good! I like the smaller stretches, as a no-stretcher currently.

They also sell them as a package at most battery stores. I can't tell by the description if the tender includes the adapter as well.

Every time you get home plug it in and leave it plugged in.

Thanks! It's just your run of the mill cable wrap. I think I got it off Amazon, better looking than the electrical tape the stock harness has.

I used rustoeleum spray paint. Sanded the body down first and then applied 3 coats. The black looks great. I also used a glossy red which hasn't held up nearly as well. PM me for a picture.

That would be great! Is it this one?

It's this

And it's pretty loud. But yeah after I added the trickle charger cables I must of not tightened the bolt well enough and it came loose. I got a slightly longer bolt and now it all works fine now.

What a rookie mistake to make.

I ordered this one recently. It rolls up nice and tight and I have it bungied to the rear turn signals. It does ok with rain. It's pretty thin though so I'm not sure how long it will last against the elements. I was looking mainly to have something to cover it so it wasn't easily spottable by would-be thieves going by.

Yeah! I have the password JDM pegs on but, I use the floorboard too often to take it off.

If your going to switch your speedo get one with a tachometer too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QCWX7J5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U4csDbK92T2KT this is the one I would go with.

Used for sure. Plan to spend 1800-2000. I got my 2017 for 1800. I wouldn't go older that 2006. And here, buy this 💯 Wsdcam 113dB Wireless Anti-Theft Vibration Motorcycle Bicycle Alarm Waterproof Security Cycling Bike Alarm with Remote https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0734QN8KR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RGRFDbCYT5N75

I'm not sure about the mod but I've heard that these little batteries don't like sitting for a few weeks/months. I'd swap it out with a new one and then put it on a battery tender if you are going to not ride it for an extended period of time.

This is the one I bought off of Amazon for like $20, but it's no longer available. Just search trough the similar items and you should find one. Mine simply wraps the wire around the spark plug wire, and doesn't require batteries. The only con is that it doesn't have a backlight, making it difficult to see in the dark.
