Okay, just purchased a daytona 600 and Im afraid some jerk is going to rip it off. I dont have a garage, so ive gotta park it in a carport. the only helpful thing is that theres a supporting beam in the middle of the carport. i figure i can tie my bike to that.

so, here what im thinking... chain from frame to pole (huge pole). lock on rotor. bike cover. proxy or motion alarm.

now the questions... i dont want to spend a billion bucks on a chain... whats the difference between buying a huge (half inch) chain from home depot and using a lock from on guard or kryptonite or something vs buying a chain and lock from kryptonite (40 bucks vs 100 bucks).

next question: rotor lock... whats better? stapler version or padlock version (both are maybe by many manufacturers - kryptonite, on guard, bully,xena, etc.)? whats the better choice? stapler or padlock version

so those are my only 2 questions... whats the difference in "motorcycle chain" chains vs home depot chain

stapler version or padlock version of rotor lock?

Thanks!
