Default Harley alarm

I have the Harley alarm and if it goes off I am out the door ready to squeeze off rounds.
My question is do the scum-bags have any way to disable the factory alarm?

Any alarm can be disabled.

Do you know how hard it is to disable the Harley alarm.
Look I know if a professional wants my bike but just curious how good is the MOCO alarm all things considered

The average Joe would have a hard time getting past the factory alarm. Even if they disconnected the battery it would scream bloody murder. If they want it they will get it but not without everybody hearing it. Especially if it is in your garage. That sound is hard to miss.

I am in the process of designing on paper... pepper spray jets that mount into your fairing....alarm goes off and 2 squirts of pepper spray mist are launched automatically....I just need someones bike to see if the pepper spray will eat your paint off your tank. Any volunteers?

In South Africa, they have one that recognizes fingerprints and if someone else touches the handle of the car, it shoots 7 ft flames from under the car and torches the guy..... you can make it work on a bike too im sure.

Is there a time limit on the 3rd warning? If not, then all you have to do after arming the alarm is lift it off the kickstand until the second warning! Then, if anyone messes with it, it will go off immediately!

Scratch the alarm...go with a locking mechanism. I am a PD dispatcher and we had a bike stolen the other day that had Lojack on it. Seems like a great idea IF the police departments have the capability to track the vehicle. Turns out there wasn't 1 car in my county that had that capability. It seems that many dept's are getting rid of the technology for one reason or another. First thing I did when I got my bike was install a Roadlok security system.

I like the feature that just locks the bike down. You just have to make sure that you don't leave the house without your keyfob or you are in a world of trouble!!
