MOTRAX KAYBUL 'WIRE'
Motrax Kaybul Wire
I've used these for years...
It looks MEGA thick. However, it's hollow and is actually very llight. It's pvc coated wire weave. It's too big for bolt croppers.
It doesn't rattle like a chain on your bike either.
It comes in a few different lengths.
Update...
It's looking like they're no longer available but I reckon you'll find something like it or even one second hand.
Something like this... http://www.getgeared.co.uk/OXFORD_Ba...ck_25mm_x_1-5m
I think a proper chain is way too heavy and noisy for travel...
A bike cover is definately a good idea too. On my way to Capetown my and my travel partners DRZ400's were parked in Barcelona outside the hostel. Mine had a cover, his did not.
In the morning, a few easily removed items had been easily removed.... Mine was untouched. Out of sight, out of mind...
And don't buy a £100 Kevlar cover with "BMW" stamped on it etc. You want something old and ratty. Spray it with oil paint and dirt. Make it look like it could only be covering a piece of old crap.
