Anyone here have one of these factory HD alarm systems on their touring bike?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-David...0d0dcf&vxp=mtr

Wondering if they are any good, or not worth the bother? A neighbor of mine has one from his 98 Electra Glide (sold his bike), which he will just give me for free. Wondering if it's worth wiring it up, or just use the old cable lock?

 

I had tried aftermarket alarm systems. I installed the Harley system on my 1998 Ultra. Best thing I ever added.
First, make sure the alarm system is for use on your year and model bike.
Then, be sure to get the installation kit (68346-01 to install on 1997-99 FL models).

 

I installed that kit on my 1998 Ultra. The only difference I did was that I wired the security light to the 2000-2003 gauges I retrofitted earlier.

Not hard to install....the outerfairing came off and the battery was removed. The battery holdown bracket plus some relays plus wiring was relocated. I believe the tank came off as well....been several years ago so I forgot.

Shortly after I installed it.....I installed the siren plus got another key fob.

I recommend it.....never know. I already had one bike stolen.....1998 Road Glide shortly after I bought it.

 

I have security on each of my motorcycles (multiple types) due to extensive travel and use. Some folks will say that "if they want it they will get it," but you don't have to make it easy for em.

 

Thanks all for the HD factory alarm input! My bike is a 97 Road King, and the alarm is for a 98 Electra Glide. From doing some web searching, it looks like it will work on my bike, but I will need the install kit as mentioned by Ultra89Rider. I have had cable locks cut in the past, so I figured an alarm would be an extra deterant. I haven't tried the disk locks?

 

97 Electra glide I have...recently purchased HD alarm with kit to install but need help

 

So what’s your question?

First welcome to the forum.
Second for each new question you should start a new thread.
Third can you give us a picture or part number and brand of the alarm system you bought?
