If I locked the box , could it still be detached from the motorcycle? Or would it need to be unlocked to be detached from the mount?

The box has to be unlocked in order to remove it from the bike. There is a plate that connects to the bike and the box has a large "thumbscrew" the tightens it to the plate.

There's a lock washer on the inside at the bottom that secures the box to the mounting bracket. Theoretically, you'd probably have to break some portion of it to get it off the bike without opening it.

It has to be unlocked and the screw removed. Screw that attaches the box to the plate.

The latch to detach the box is located on the inside. It must be opened to detach it from the mount.

The mount doesn't lock but it remains in the fold up position until put down. It is easily tightened if necessary. We are very pleased with the quality of the mount.

No, it cannot be easily detached. It uses a proprietary locking system that is hidden from view and would be very difficult to remove.

Mine did not come with a lock, and I did not use one. The mount works just fine, I had no idea you could use a lock!

I believe it is steel, that is not the weak point however, if someone wants to steal your ride. The other end of the mount can be unscrewed with a pair of pliers, even if it is locked tight. I keep a lock thru the back wheel and frame to the side of my pickup, and keep an eye on it too.

It's designed to be locked, however, if you leave the top clamp loose, it will spin. I honestly don't think it would cause any damage to do so.

I have had no problems with mine getting stolen, leave it on my bike 24/7 and ride my bike everyday. However if you were worried about it you can take it off with a screwdriver and break it down to store elsewhere. Not sure how many people are walking around with tools to take it off your bike though. Hope this helped.

What I do is take a lock and run it from the hitch chain attachment point (Part of the hitch receiver) and run it to the frame/tires of the bike (like you would lock the bike up at a rack). This basically locks the bike to the car hitch. This way the weakest link is going to be the chain instead of the Hollywood rack. (Unless a thief wants to remove your hitch, Hollywood rack, and bike as one assembly!) I have left my bike locked this way overnight in multiple locations without an issue.

Certainly looks to me like you could replace the zip ties and move mount to another bike. However, I have not done that yet, but they just slip through the slot. Worst case scenario you might have to improvise a little!

You unlock the box and the screws go through the back of the box into whatever you're mounting to. It will be as secure as the strength of the screws or the substrate, whichever is weakest.

Nope. It locked good so far for me, the only problem is you need to keep tighten up the bolt or it would loosen by itself.

To secure the lockbox if you leaving it and yes it can be attached to something this way the lockbox can't be removed

I saw recommendations for the suction cup mount but be very careful where you put it on the bike and make sure to tether it to either yourself or the bike somehow. I lost a brand new hero2 on my first ride out using the suction cup mount so I don't trust it on a motorcycle, but I've seen it on others. Your call. But like I said, tether system is HIGHLY recommended.

the holder that mounts on the bike has a hand screw to loosen it so it can easily be removed. It's very Steal-able... but the fact that it comes off easily is actually an advantage for me because it's a super flashlight even without the bike mount so I just remove it when I park my bike and use it to find my house keys and walk up to my house. I clip it onto the keychain with my bike lock key so I don't forget to bring it back out to my bike the next time I go riding.

It will need an additional motorcycle mount. The unit will not be protected from weather elements as it is inside a vehicle ~ the driver would have to pull over immediately and remove the unitshould inclement weather arrive. Also, the driver would have to program prior to leaving and only be able to refer to at stops. I have this one and love it (of course the price difference is considerable) ~ shows a mount for referenceGarmin Zumo 550 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

It has no lock on it. It clips on to your bike's rear rack. But it is quite difficult to remove once on the clips are stiff, and you could run a cable through the handle to prevent theft.

It is mounted to the tire. There is no locking mechanism. If you wanted to secure the bike, you would have to use a cable and a lock.
