These have been doing the rounds (Adv rider, XRV.org.uk..ect) I know one guy at least on XRV is importing them at 12£ a pop (price is a few months old so dont quote me)..

I got a few (4) shipped to a fried in the USA and he sent them over to me and it came out at about 7£ each...

Two things: i have found wrong with them... 1) they are not as easy to place on my bike as I have seen others do.. and 2) which is the big one.. I have not firgured out a way to lock em with out carrying even more bloody keys for pad locks... grrrrr !!!!

I made one of these in Argentina..

Very cheap, sturdy and simple...


One length of sewage pipe or thick drainpipe.
2 x Push on ends.
2 x large jubilee clips for securing the ends onto the pipe.
2 x large jubilee clips for securing the actual tube onto the bike.

Drill a small hole in the pipe or one of the ends to allow the air to escape as you press the end on.

I would be thief would need a screwdriver and the inclination to steal an odd looking piece of drainpipe.. I left mine on the bike throughout South America and never got a glance.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
