Default Road king alarm options

I recently purchased a road king and am looking into different alarms to put on the bike. The bike has the fob ignition kill security on it now but I would like something that would alert me to someone trying to steal bags, windshield or other items off the bike (I work in the hood and bags are a big seller on CL) which would you all recommend? I've seen the Harley plug and play one with pager along with one's from other manufactures.

many of us add the radio shack $6 siren to our bikes ( rather than the HD siren kit)

check the tip/diy sticky above

saddlebags, replace the pins with speed nuts and wing bolts from ace hardware- $9 of parts

( or you can buy a "security screw" set for much more---except everybody has the bit, or can be turned out with a screwdriver,so not much secure

throw a Honda cover on the bike when it is parked.


I know some guys use the pager thing, but one rider posted the other day about battery problems..

Bought a Gorilla 8017 for mine when I got the bike... that system is a POS. Got it because it had pager function, but the damn thing never would set up right.

I just added a HD TSSM to my 98 RK last weekend and will be getting the siren and pager. I'm planning to add a switch to kill the siren noise itself, I just want the FM transmitter functionality of it to buzz my pocket and tell me to take the safety off.

Check eBay, I got mine NOS for $100 for the alarm module and install kit, I know you have one, I bring it up as the siren and pager/fob can be had for half the retail price as well.

Other than the security suggestions for bolts above, I've found the best thing is a known presence. Our group (not club, just a familiar crowd at each bar) has someone wander out the door about every time a drink is ordered to give a quick look, or we park in front of the windows. Most shitbags staking out a parking lot would be de-motivated by that much presence.
