Secruity is only as good the way you install it, The more difficult you make it for the thieves the better. IMO alarms are pointless unless installed correctly meaning hiding ALL wiring in with the main loom and concelling sirens, control units so there not accessable. Even then it isnt going to help when they lift it into a van.
Leaving a bike parked out in public is always going to be a risk no matter how you secure it, thieves are clever bastards with zero morals.
At Home just make it as difficult as possible to get to your bike, ground anchors, decent chains, disc locks, alarmed shed/garage, difficult access all helps. Putting my bikes away is not a easy task but 15 mins spent locking them up creates huge problems for someone trying to get them out unnoticed. The 2 dogs help matters aswell
Shotgun and paintball alarms are also available should you wanna have some fun
Ive only ever had one car stolen and its the most gutting feeling in the world when you realise a few hundred quid spent on security is minimal compared to the cost and hassle of lossing your car/bike.
Package 1, throw in a pinch pin to put through the single sided swinging arm.
That chain is VERY heavy and uncroppable by hand.. unlike the oxford monster and all those other crap chains.
Make it secure / hard to nick and people will move onto something else.
Could always leave it next to a newer / more desirable bike if out and about.
The 24 isn't very nickable to proper bike theieves anyway, there worth hardly anything and theres a small market for them when compared to say an NC30.
Your only likely theives are going to be joy rider scum who are liekly to set fire to it after riding it. For this case a decent chain like that Almax will stop them.

I will be fitting a Ground Anchor to the bike when i finally get a permanent spot in the garage for the bike.
I have a heavy duty chain (cant remember the name) and a very heavy duty high security ASUS lock (i think it was that)
Got myself a Cheap High vis disc lock which is easier to carry than a Chain.
(where does one put a Chain on a NC24)
I think i will wait on getting an immobiliser as until i have a job, the bike will mainly stay in the garage or chained to bike parking spots when i go out.
thanks all for the replys

Heavy duty upto £200 chains.. some only last 3 seconds even though there all guaranteed to survive 5 minutes
almax chains (similar to torc anchors).. breaks the 42" croppers :D
