if you not bothered about a chain at rear and just want to hold it down, you can use a bungee cord thru some small brass eyelets or get larger eyelets... these ones screw together so easy to put on to fabric but only 1" ish central hole not big enough for a chain.. but bungee yes... £3 and in a couple of weeks from hong kong http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Large-grom ... 3f32a5be85" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Black Wing wrote:Spending my kid's inheritance!it has Brass eyelets at the front but none at the rear.

There's only one potential negative, sadly as experienced twice by a B650 owner I know.
The covers can act like a sail and in strong winds he's twice had his bike blown over and it's amazing the damage and cost that result. So provided you can secure the bike really well and it's perhaps sheltered from wind (not something my mate could do) then you're better to use a cover and avoid prying eyes (and fingers) assuming this is outside overnight and visible.

Good points all! Luckily mine is sheltered from wind but still open to elements.
