looking for info on disc and/or caliper locks
What is a good disc or caliper lock to use on a H-D '07 Electra Glide Standard? I understand that some disc locks have alarms and some locks go over the brake calipers. Anyone have any experience with any of these? I am trying to stay away from having an alarm installed.

All it takes is one time to forget to remove the disc lock and bend the rotor and the Alarm wont seem so bad.,,

As stated above, if you get a disc lock get one of those stretchy cords to put on your throttle so you will never forget it is there. I had a disc lock once and forgot to take it off. Boy, the bike stopped real quick.

The Xena locks from Eastern Cycle is always a great deal. They are good people and easy to deal with. I bought mine after looking thru e-bay. Great price and they ship fast. cost was only about $65.00 with $8 shipping. good luck

Got a plain jane disc lock. I store it in a Crown Royal pull string bag while riding. As I lock it I put the bag on the left hand grip. This way when I return and grab the handle bar with the Crown Royal bag on the grip, I'll remember the lock is still on.

WTF is a disc lok? 
Alarm????? Oh, that's when all the ppl start hollerin', "HEY GUMBY, someone's over by the Cap'n!!!!"
I always like to have one or two extras of these hangin' 'round. When I see someone doing the "OH CHIT, I forgot the disc lok" DANCE to keep it from hitting the deck, they git one, FREE OF CHARGE. The was worth giving 'em one. They come in yeller, too.

That's a cool idea Gump!!! Where do you get them?
I use a trailer tongue lock that fits through the disk hole and uses a regular flat key. The first one I had used the round key and was told that a modified cap from a BIC pen would unlock it. Don't know for sure if that is true but I had the trailer lock laying around. I think I paid around $12.00 for it in the Fishing Dept. at Academy Sports.
Brain fart jogged my memory as to the brand of lock:
