I have not found much gear that is lockable. You might try JC.Whitney. They usually have good prices on that kinda stuff though.

 

Jc Whitney has a cheap lockable box that would be great but there's nowhere to mount it on the bike. I would need some kind of rack to place it on. I might have to create my own I guess.

 

What your hearing is your manual cam chain adjuster. The auto adjuster sometimes gets stuck between teeth and allows the timing chain to slack a bit. When the timing chain gets enough slack in it (you'll know when it sounds as if your chain is about to throw off) you'll hear a loud tick and the auto adjuster will tighten. This happpened to me twice. both times I swore I had thrown my timing chain. After a $150. inspection, I was informed that thiss is normal operation for the auto chain tensioner. Do yourself a favor and buy the manual cam chain tensioner from Orient Racing or APE and never deal with this issue.
As for the number three rod, the 11's were cursed with low oil volume to the rod but taking your oil pan to Terry Kaiser of Mr. Turbo in Texas is a sure fix. He modifies your stock oil pan with an external oil line that delivers oil directly to the #3 rod. It's worth the hundred or so bucks and the peace of mind.

True story... I left my I-Pod at a friends house in Menifee, Ca., about 100 miles away from home and decided to get up really early one Sunday morning and ride out to get it. It was around 7 am and not a soul on the freeway. I was cooking along the 15 freeway south at around 100mph. The bike was comfortable and happy at that speed. Just then, the bike started to surge. It felt as if it was asking me for more. I looked down and the speedo read 135. That's around 6500 rpm for me and coincidentally when my ram air starts working. I pondered.....Hmmm. Open freeway, straight as an arrow, not a sul in sight. Having never REALLY pinned my bike to the stops before, I was interested in what it was truly capable of. Being the crazy S.O.B. that I am, before my brain had made the choice, my wrist had already chosen for me. I don't really remember much. I remember the speed and how fast it came on was dumbfounding. I glanced down just for a millisecond and saw the needle sweep past 160. I was at 9500 rpms. The power was pouring on now. The wind was deafening and trying to suck me off the back of the bike.
I glanced down again and the speedo read 225 and 11500 rpm. Factoring in a 10% correction error, thats a blistering 195 MPH! It hadn't even really sunk in yet when all went wrong.
I was on the stretch of 15 freeway just in front of the Toms Farms plaza. What I wasn't aware of is the overpass creates a dip in the usually arrow straight freeway.
That's right! I hit this dip at 195 mph.
The bike went airborne, the tach hit the rev limiter and I sharted myself.
The bike landed straight, thank god no wobbles or difficulty (one more nod to the engineers at Kawi, if it were a Honda, I'd be a dead man!)
I had scared myself straight and continued the remainder of my trip at the posted speed limit.
I haven't topped her out since.
I still wonder what that extra 500 rpm would have given me.

OH! and if your law enforcement and reading this, it's all an elaborate story that I made up.
