I'm sharing the method I'm using as I'm parking in "difficult" places.
-First picture is my first solution: I have a ABUS chain which attached to a disc blocker. Futhermore it's got a very lood electronic alarm. I put it in the front "fuel tank" box but it take a lot of space in it, so no more room for the rain suit.
-On picture 2 and 3 I have a U-lock because one of my parking place has a hook to small for the chain to go in whereas the U-lock fit. So I highly modified a U-lock holder to secure the U-lock. I've used the lateral hole on the topcase mounting to fit the holder. To avoid any rotation on the holder I used cyanolate glue which is really powerfull on metallic plate.
With this solution I can still use the tank box to put my top rain suit
-On the last picture is the U-lock holder when I didn't have the top-case mounting. I used the saddle bolt to fix it.

A Zero is theft proof, no? So rare it is conspicuous. No secondary market that common bikes have. I never worry about theft. Stealing a Zero is like stealing an antique. The thief isn't going to ride it to work and can't sell it, so why steal it?

While I agree that Zero theft is a low risk, rationally, motorcycles do get stolen for joy rides (and then abandoned). But right now, Zero is obscure. I don't even think many people recognize it for what it is in the first place - I haven't even had a break-in on the "tank" compartment.

IN France at least insurance works only if you use a lock..
Zturbo : there is a Xena lock model that fits just in the front case. I let the big chain attached in the street near my place, and use the Xena Lock elsewhere.

And in France someone will steal your Zero so he has a bigger battery for his stolen iPhone.....
