I keep my Honda VF500F Interceptor in the underground parking structure
where I live.  I purchased a ten foot length of the heaviest chain I
could find at the hardware store and a large pin-tumbler padlock.  I
lock the frame and front wheel to a 1-1/2 foot square concrete pillar
which is located conveniently next to my parking stall.  I'm sure a large
pair of bolt cutters or a hacksaw would have no trouble cutting through
the chain, but it looks impressive.

This did not prevent a thief from removing my Interceptor's half-fairing.
I was even more upset when the dealer told me a replacement fairing without
windscreen was $252 plus tax.  As I do not have access to a locked garage,
I was wondering what I could have done to prevent this.  I often thought
that a cover would have been a good deterrent.  Does anyone have ideas on
how you can prevent the theft of accessories?  I would like to hear them.

Keep an eye on those easily removed fairings!
