The big ride is finally here, which means that your saddlebags and any other imaginable space on your motorcycle are packed with all the stuff you’re going to need for the entire Sturgis trip. To keep your expensive gear safe from thieves, consider making a nominal investment in security items to fight theft. Even a simple $25 lock can keep your expensive helmet or jacket safe from would-be thieves in search of an easy grab. Stock up on additional items that will keep your belongings secure—the last thing you need is to have to replace costly items on top of other road-trip expenses. Knowing that your valuables are protected will make your time on the road that much more enjoyable.

Helmets must be at the top of the list of things that are easily stolen off a bike. To avoid having your lid jacked, look into an inexpensive lock like this one from Kuryakyn.

Thieves suck. But it’s a given that there is some lowlife scoping for easy items to steal from unsuspecting motorcyclists. To combat these turds, invest $25 and get a lock like the carabiner-style unit from Harley-Davidson. It’s built tough with aluminum and zinc alloy construction, and features a tough rubber cover to protect it from the elements.

This lock is small enough to fit in your pocket, but just the right size to fit around almost any size handlebar. Lock up your helmet, jacket, or bag, set the four-digit code of your choosing, and ward off any smash-and-grab small-time crook looking to get your stuff.

Maybe the locks on your Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycle are completely out of whack. You want to make sure those bags are working properly so your stuff is kept safe during your long trip to Sturgis.
