Pulling my chain?
There is such a chain on my '84 XS650. It lives in a little plastic box under the right-side plastic cover and behind a plastic lower cover.There's a matching cover on the other side that hides nothing. They made room for the box by removing the rear brake master cylinder and switching back to a mechanical drum rear brake. The chain's lock works with the bike ignition key and the chain itself is perhaps as strong as my dog's leash. All of which tells you that by that time the stylists had achieved total dominance over the designers.
No such recidivism on my XS11SG. There was a triangular section plastic box behind the left-side plastic cover that had the tool kit in it when I got the bike, whether that box originally had a safety chain in it I have no idea.
