What in the world is the 'Sabre Safe'.

In a few words, it is a water-resistant, welded-steel, lockable storage box, and is almost unnoticeable! It is painted with a very tough high-gloss black powder coat. We call it the 'Sabre Safe', but it is actually made for all of the stock Shadow VT1100 bikes.

 

 

 

 

This item will fit the following motorcycles:

bullet

Honda VT1100: Sabre (2000 to 2007), Aero (1998-2002), A.C.E. (1995-1999), A.C.E. Tourer (1998-2001), Spirit 1100 (all years)

View of the 'Sabre Safe' from Left Side of Bike The 'Safe' measures 6" wide at base, 4" tall, and 8" deep for a total storage capacity of 133 cubic inches!

 

What are some of the outstanding features of the 'Sabre Safe'?

bullet

It is water-resistant. A double-rubber seal keeps out water and dust. The lock is weather-proof, preventing water and dirt from entering the lock mechanism.

bullet

It is tough. Made from 16 gauge and 1/8" steel, all seams are continuously welded. Gloss-black powder coating gives it a very durable finish that closely matches the frame paint.

bullet

It is secure. Other than using the key to unlock it (comes with two keys.), you would need a  sledge hammer, or a large crow bar to open it up.

bullet

It is almost invisible. Because of where it is located, as you approach the bike, you don't notice it. If a person does look towards that area, all they see is a black box. It looks like it is part of the frame or something. Maybe it's an oil cooler?

bullet

It utilizes a special vibration-absorbing, mounting system.

After the initial installation procedure, the 'safe' can be removed from the bike, or re-installed in less than a minute!

bullet

Installation is super easy! No special tools are required. Should take you about 10 minutes for initial installation.

 

Who did we have in mind when we designed the 'Sabre Safe' ?

bullet

Riders who don't like the look of bags on their bikes, but wish they had a place to put small stuff.

Riders who wish they had a secure place to store small stuff on their bike.

 

Product questions

bullet

Is the 'Sabre Safe' water-proof? We took our bike with the 'Sabre Safe' mounted to a local carwash, and used their high-pressure sprayer to wash and wax the entire bike. When finished we opened the 'safe' and there was not a drop of water inside. The double-rubber seal design should keep out water under all normal circumstances. Of course, there may be some 'abnormal' riders who might drive their ride into a lake at 90 mph, so we will not commit to using the phrase "water-proof" in describing the 'safe'.

bullet

Is it burglar proof? It would probably be easier to steal the entire bike than try to open the 'safe' without a key.

bullet

Is it invisible? Not really, but if you don't know it is there, your attention is not drawn towards it. Since it is recessed in behind the drive shaft, and because it is black like the frame you just don't notice it. In addition, the lock is covered by a removable rubber 'flap', so even the lock can't draw attention.

bullet

How much weight will it hold? We filled the 'safe' with 5 pounds of rock and drove it for miles over the bumpiest roads we could find, and although the rider was 'rattled', the 'safe' and its contents were fine.

bullet

Does this mean I have to carry around an extra key? Not necessarily. Some of our customers have purchased a magnetic "hide-a-key" box. There are various places on your bike where you could hide the key to your safe.
