Rick, me again. lol

As above, I have the same but in black.

The GEN 2.5 has discrete 'paddles' at both sides, to be able to release it more easily. I also have its complimentary locking cover. Adds extra piece of mind, as it would deter - or at least significantly slow down and frustrate - an opportunistic tea leaf.

The quality is second to none.

Do you think it's a good or extra security deterrent? Do you still get to keep your horn ? On some I've seen you have to relocate it

I have the HKB boss which allows to keep the horn push. It also houses the OEM squibb, therefore retaining the indicator-cancelling.

The NRG's 'receiving' spigot simply bolts to the HKB.

It is extra security but even if I handed theiving tw@ts the wheel and keys they would struggle to start it,when I go out in the car I don't carry it around with me tho lol.
Horn works as it should,indicator cancel doesn't but that's no bother to me.
I have the NRG short boss.
