nope. I went to the local hardware and bought a length of 1/16" braided metal mire, 2 crimp ends and a piece of plastic tubing. Made a loop on each end and just wrap one loop around the seat lock post, thru the chin bar and back onto the seat post - put the seat on and you are all locked up. Can't take credit for the idear - saw it here or on another Buell board.

thats a pretty nifty idea, i would be to anal about it scratching the bike though.

That's why you use the plastic tubing over the wire. I ended up cutting mine too short. I am going to re-do it to ensure it won't scratch the paint.

What I ended up using on my bike is the lock assembly from a Kuryakyn Helmet lock p/n - 4248 I just bolted it directly to the licence plate support on my bike. You couldn't ride with it locked in, but who rides without a helmet? ;)

I don't have pics anymore. I totalled the bike out last spring.
