...Radio Shack siren has always worked AS GOOD as the Harley one, and it's $94 less expensive.
Yup, 6 bucks. I bought 4 of them last time I was in there, put them on mine, my OL's and my best friends, and still have one on the shelf.
Instead of $400, I spent $24.
There are things I think Harley does better than anyone else, and are worth the money.
There are things I think Harley sucks at, and WAY over-charge. The siren and garage door opener are two examples of this.

If you just want an audible siren, I agree the HD is overpriced. If you also want the remote pager transmitter and antenna, there is no other choice but to go the HD route.
That's what I did and then added the re-chargable pager. It's worth the $$ for me for the piece of mind that no one is messing with my bike when it's out of sight. I'd actually choose the remote pager over the audible siren if I was forced to.

You are comparing Apples to Oranges though. The HD Siren is an audible siren AND a remote pager transmitter/antenna. The $24 solution is just an audible siren.

Just to be clear, that $24 is for FOUR sirens.
$6.00 each, give or take.
What good is the pager?
You're a mile away from your bike, and your pager goes off....
At that point, Insurance is what protects you.
I've seen the videos, if they want your bike, they are going to have it, in under 20 seconds, 4 guys and a van, bike gone. With or without siren, pager, or anything short of you being with it....

I did the radio shack siren on my old bike. It works ok. Its definately not as loud as the HD siren. It also will sometimes not chirp for the short burst signals.
I also know you can run 2 Radioshack sirens in there to make it louder. I didn't bother with a plug and the wires stayed in place for 3 years and counting.
Also that pager is crap. More junk to carry. And Pager plus HD siren in $200. Comparing that to a $6 siren is silly.

Kutter Harley both for $134. Still more than $6 but as offthewall said it is oranges to apples. Some of us like having the pager. True if they want it they going to get it, but sitting in a restaurant and someone just wants to mess with it, it would be nice to know and maybe walk out and see what's up. Both work good but are totally different for different needs. Thank God we have choices and in this case not really a right or wrong choice.
