U lock

Has anyone managed to put on a U lock by going through the shock(s) springs and wheel? I have measured it and done a trial with a metal bar? It looks just about feasible but it would depend on lock bar diameter, length and pitch so just buying one will be a risk. Ask as I am having a trip to France later in the year (gone are the days of doing a ton up on VTR) and have Ohlins. This is for my 2019 300.

I just posted about my PCX lock in another thread, but realised no one has ever mentioned EasyBlock on this forum, It's probably because it's a new-ish London / EU thing, but most of my courier friends ride the PCXs, NMAXs, or Forza's and have one, so I thought I would share it with you guys too.
It's similar to a disc lock, but it's fitted to your bike and you kick it in to lock it. It's pretty sick, and as I stop a million times a day and before I never used to bother locking my bike.

Here are some photos I found on their website for the Forza 300. It's fitted in a bit of a different place than my PCX, but it looks like each one of them is different.
There is a video on their homepage of how it works, but I'm not sure how to post the video here... or how to make images smaller haha... sorry

I use the stock Honda handlebar locks plus a disk brake lock. Scooters are not a big theft item in the US except for college towns...then watch out! LOL If I have to be gone for a couple of days I also use a heavy chain and large hardened lock. If they want my scoot they are going to have to work for it!!!

I had something similar, I could not unlock it, rusty etc . My neighbour said he would help, the propane torch melted the zinc lock cylinder. a big hammer finished it off
