I don't know if they will work on the rear or not. Just know that it'd be my luck to forget to take the thing off. Usually the only place I ride where I can't see my bike is at work. So I have a cable lock at the motorcycle parking lot. I just know too many people that are smarter than me that have forgotten to take a disk lock off -- so I'm not testing fate.

that's why I said to use the rear. put it on the rear and roll the bike forward so it's touching the caliper. That way, if you do forget, all you'll do is stall the bike because the back wheel will be locked and not allow the bike to roll at all.

That plan is still likely to cause damage to your caliper, thats the reason i don`t use them too, i`d forget and cause some damage 
+ i park my bike inside at work,

would it damage the caliper if you used it like I said? It wouldn't have any room to roll so it should just stall. I've found long (about 3 feet) red flags that say remove before flight.... like the ones you see on jet planes, that you can hook to the lock to help remind you it's there.
