Hi Folks! I'm new to the R3T world and love it. I'm coming from Harleyland and was wondering if anyone makes a locking kickstand similar to the one used on Harleys. The kickstand on my R3T is my only issue I have with this bike. Extremely GREAT value at any price. Thanks in Advance, .... Denny
 
Imo any theft attack would be a good bet a sawsall or grinder is on hand. In other words pointless to have any lock at all.
As an avid podcast listener RevZilla and adventure rider radio being my 2 go to channels for content. I'm convinced by seasons riders who go all over the world that the one and only decent worth while security measure is a cover. No locks. No chains... No bs. Just a cover. And that's coming from people who ride $$$ bikes with $$$ camera and gear in 3rd world areas. It's supper easy on 100% od bikes to snap the triple tree ignition lock with just your legs and like I said a metal cutting device is on hand. A locked bike is a target. A bike out of sight is the best option.
That being said there are no locks worth spending $ on. Unless it's an abus disk detainer that most thieves do not have the tools to pick it's going to get cut. Cables are good but again a lock is the week point.
Food for thought

Hey Mike! Not looking to lock the bike, trying to find a kickstand like on the Harleys that lock into position so if the bike should roll forward the stand won’t fold up and allow the bike to fall over … 😇

I haven't heard of one. What's needed and discussed is a shorter kickstand so the bike leans over a bit more.
