After reading a post about adding a solenoid valve in the fuel line, I had an idea. If you hid a small toggle switch in the power line to the valve, you could turn the switch off when you left the bike unattended. If someone stole the bike (hotwired), it would only run till the bowls ran out of fuel.

Its not a good idea because you just told everyone. You could put a switch on positive lead of the coils and they won't go anywhere. Never tell people your secrets just do it. I have a few secrets on my bike. Ebay has allot of extra parts for sale if you know what I mean. But that is good your thinking that is what we all need good ideas.

I just leave a 12 Ga shell in plain view in my unzipped handle bar bag any time park the Valk in public.  It sends a subtle message...  Evil  (Don't do it in D.C.)

I have a leather whip hanging from the handlebar. But thinking about it....that´s legal, but may cause also weird offers.....
