Indeed. But it would be worthwhile considering the fact that your bike will get stolen if someone wants it badly enough before you spend two years and a load of money on building your custom.
I know, it's not a perfect world. But the queues at the complaints hotline at the department of creation are fairly long...

As others have said, if thieves know it's there and they know how to get at it they can steal it. So you make a theft as time consuming as possible without actually deterring yourself from using the bike. Security is usually a trade off against convenience. I have twice seen bikes chained to the living room floor and I'd be tempted to do that myself if there weren't bloody steps everywhere.
One thing that doesn't seem to have been mentioned: never park the bike in front of the house or where it is easily viewed from off the section.
The less people that are aware it's there the better.

Thanks for all the good advice. I have ordered an XN15 disc lock, a heavy Kryptonite chain, and a floor anchor. That, plus comprehensive insurance, is all that I can do.
Double shot!!
Kryptonite is oldskool. Use Unobtanium.

MSL in rosebank road, theyre just countrsunk allen key dynabolts with a ball bearing - LE bearings in henderson could help with that, otherwise a drill and round out the hole...
Has it ever bothered you that Therapist is The Rapist if you break the word in two? It bothers me, especially when they suggest hypnosis.

Seems Unobtanium isn't that new really. My '89 ZXR250A has a fair amount of componentry made from this stuff as well.Must be made by Suzuki - half my XN85 seems to be made of the stuff!!
I'd like to make a case for claymore mines as well. If they manage to breach the security measures at least they won't make away with the bike alive.
Alternatively a 0.5 kg lump of C4 contained in the fuel tank rigged with a remote trigger would also be a nasty nasty surprise for the new "owner".
The professional thieves would often be doing it as a contract hit...

I used to sabotage my bike.
Didn't use explosives, just undid subtle, crucial components such as brakes or axles. Any theif probably wouldn't notice....
Don't do it anymore due to forgetting.

Probably a good thing to stop doing if you start forgetting about it.

don't use chain.. bolt cutters will cut it if they are big enough.. wheather low or high tensile...
Use wire cable.. bolt cutter won't cut it as it flatens under pressure...
Bolt cutters don't cut... They apply enough pressure to make the steel
burst apart... on the thin wires of a cable once it flattens they are unable
to apply enough pressure to reach the burst point of the wires...
I know some will not beleave.... get a bit of cable and try...
But if they have a battrey angle grinder handy.... bad luck

Keep on chooglin'
