I have carried a 16mm chain, but in a sidecar the weight can be useful.
Think about the risks:
Gangs who want to ship your bike to Russia can break anything, but they want new Harleys and Ducatis not your half million mile Cagiva Elefant.
Joy riding chav scum don't have the brains to break more than a Chinese disc lock, so your machined body one makes the next blokes bike a nicer target.
Light fingered lads in the souk in down town Dodgystan have no use for the bike, they want the tool kit and maybe the battery.
If some mafia warlord decides he really must have that Cagiva, face facts, helping him load it into the van will be your best bet.
I'd go with the best disc lock you can afford, one that can double as a padlock and maybe the cable Ted suggested. The disc lock stops them riding it, the cable slows down lifting or pushing.
