That's a nice review :) just a little added info. You said in the video that the lock is bike specific, this is only partly true. It really comes down to the distance between the bolts holding the brake caliper (100mm in your case) and whether it's a BMW. Other than that, it's a standardised kit, you can take this one along to a new bike, if you keep the spacers it came with. The BMW comes into play as BMW uses a different thread size, it's the only brand to use 1.5mm thread, all others are 1.25, the spacers are the same across all brand, so you'll either get a kit with 1.25mm threaded bolts, or 1.5mm threaded bolts.
My Roadlok is my favorite accessory. The company was nice enough to retro-fit mine to the 2010 version where you just pop in the BrakeBolt without inserting and turning the key.
@@stevesherlockrides the lock itself weighs about 300 grams, that's about 2% of the total unsprung weight in the front. As you said, you won't notice that.
Hi Dee, heres the link and you will need to buy direct from them. roadlok.com/. One thing I didnt say on the vid was that a number of UK insurance companies recognise it as a secure system.
Steve Sherlock thanks mate I have a s1000r in red / black and love it had it for 2 years ps love what you are doing with the channel keep up the good work Dee
@@SCCOOBYDEE to be honest I havent got a clue what I'm doing with the channel but it's a journey of experimentation and an innocent laugh. I'm glad you like it and hope people wont take me to seriously. Off to yorkshire tomorrow for a blast and might get some footage.
So the locking pin is spring loaded? Does it have a ball bearing or other locking means to keep it extended once it springs into place? If not, can't someone just remove the caliper mounting bolts, drill through the aluminum opposite the locking pin, then push the pin back into the lock against the spring pressure with a screwdriver and remove the lock without any real struggle? I think I would much prefer a solid locking pin if this is the case, or else a hardened steel body to ward off drill attacks. If it's mounted to the bike, then who cares if steel would weigh more if it means greater protection?
I disagree. If you have to go to those lengths then you will have been noticed and rumbled . Sounds like you dont want one so go with what you prefer.as I'm not trying to sell them but rather explain how to fit and use.
@@stevesherlockrides Yes we do (me), on roadlok.eu there is free shipping and no import duties (but since we have VAT that we charge, the base price is a bit higher than on the US shop)
Nice video! I've installed my ROADLOK yesterday on a 2017 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure, and also made a video of it: ua-cam.com/video/vVPbrYllJVw/v-deo.html. Ordered a new torque wrench by the way (because I couldn't find the one I already had), and will do an extra mounting check before I ride again.

Sorry only just seen your comments 100% agree
Nice review Steve 👍 Does it weigh much and is the weight noticeable when riding, on turn in etc?
You dint know it's there mate. The heaviest part is the toughened steel spring bolt. It's very discrete in appearance also which is a good thing

Could you use this to help with doing a burnout as it will keep the front wheel locked?
Lol. i love the idea..you and I should have a beer
Hi Steve where did you get it from can you send me the link. Dee

Hi, how do you find the hole in brake disc? Or is not needed to have the wheel in exact position?
The pack comes with different size shims and the instructions explain in full. Very simple so you will be ok
Is the lock Lock-Picking-Lawyer safe?
I cant say sorry as dont know. Nothing is ever theft proof but a great deterrent
@@stevesherlockrides The big Oxford Boss wasn’t was picked open less than a minute.
@@JesusAlleineRettet very good
But you have to carry a big lump of metal whereas the roadlok is permanently on the bike and so much easier and unobtrusive when riding
How do I know the fit to bmwrt1200 2016 model with brembo brake caliper
If you go on to their Web site they specify what bikes are compatible but I believe most main brands are
Can these not be cut between the lower calliper bolt and the lock barrel?
Yes but retaining bolt stays secure
Hi Steve how much do they charge for postage
Sorry only just seen all my comments. Shipping was about £15 but I got charged for import duty. Ive heard they now have a UK distributor though
@@stevesherlockrides Yes we do (me), on roadlok.eu there is free shipping and no import duties (but since we have VAT that we charge, the base price is a bit higher than on the US shop)
Any idea about any compatible secure bolts to replace the original ones on a roadlok XRA 108 japanese Motorsport?
I'm sorry I wouldn't have a clue. I used the ones that came with the Roadlok
but it looks like you could just unbolt it from the brake or am i missing something
It’s still will stay attached to the rotor
If someone unbolt it from the brake, the retain bolt is still going through the disc hole, so it basically turns into a regular disc lock.
"Total fashion victim." LOL
Not my finest hour lol
Hope your neighbors are just as unimpressed as the dog. If you were my neighbor ...
Why what was the dog doing that upset you?
