I'll just throw in that two are louder than one. Solder two sirens together and put one on either side, or both on the same side. I've done it both ways, but am running both on the same side now. I had one on the the other side and linked them with some speaker wire, but it rubbed through, killed the sirens, and blew my battery fuse. I suppose if I would have run the wire correctly the first time it would have saved me some pain, but live and learn. They're both plenty loud on the same side anyway.

I cant thank you enough. I just did this today on my Ultra and it works perfectly. I never even thought of using a cheapie siren like this. $8.22 well spent

Blade connectors? The 07 must have a different plug than the 08. Or did you use those tap things to splice into the wires? (a picture is worth a thousand words......and my bike is ready to go but all we've had is storms this week.....idle sounds really good though.)

Hey, I got the RS siren and installed today but to wire it I just pushed the wires into the plug and then re-inserted the plug. It seems to work fine but instead of 1 warning chirp when moving the bike I get 2 or 3 before it goes steady(plenty loud too). It disarms as advertised when I bring the key fob close. I assume it's on the same frequency as the HD factory audible alarm? Did I miss something on the wiring? I'd hate to kill the battery, burn something up, etc.

Thanks again for all the help.

Sounds right to me. 2 warnings and then Screaming. Fob turns off the alarm itself. where you wired the siren to is controled by the TSSM(Alarm Module)

Nice write up wachuko. Just got the stuff from Radio Shack today. Couple of questions....

dawg - Do you need a delphi crimper tool in order to use that metri-pack connector?

Also, I assume pulling the main fuse is why the battery wasn't disconnected?

Any signs of a trickle discharge from the battery with this?

Thanks.

This was the response I got when I went looking for the connectors. I took pictures of my '11 and e-mailed to PCS. If anybody knows anything different please let me know...........

So, he's saying there is no correct connector for this plug? Just wondering before I go looking for one this weekend, as there are many electrical supply stores here in Vegas.

Also, if I can't find the connector, then I'll use electrical liquid tape. I've read that certain silicones aren't good for electrical connections, such as most on the market that smell like vinegar because of their drying properties.

~And yes, it might be overkill with all the questions and such, but that's how I am about my bike(s).
