My bike does not have factory alarm. I think I want to install one on both my wife's and mine. Is anyone using an aftermarket? brand pros - cons?

 

Man, you are reading my mind tonight... here are a couple links...

Need one too,

 

Hummm, kinda like the scorpion system, Thanks for the links!

 

Me too, ~$480 with all the bells and whistles.(perimeter sensor, starter interrupt, factory wiring harness, best remotes, battery backup)

 

like eveything but starter interrupt. Seems like a prime canidate for failure down the road. I see it happen all the time at the deakership I work for.

 

if you go Scorpio make sure and get the newer model with the rechargeable remote, the older one goes thru about 1 AAA battery a month Other than that it is a great alarm easy to install. if your seat pan is metal it makes the perimeter sensor a little difficult to install but not impossible

 

the starter interupt doesnt have to be installed it is a plug in option mine is still in the box 2 years later

 

I have the Gorilla Alarm on my bike and am very happy with it. I also had it on my last bike. Good alarm at reasonable price. The remote pager function is nice feeling of security when you stop for coffee on the road.

a place moto world inc. has them shipped for $165

 

There are a number of alarms you can use, as long as they are installed properly you should have no problem. I picked one up off e-bay for $40 starter interupt, siren, sensitivity and remote start, it works great. If the bad guy decides to move it the siren will go off and If started I can disable it with the remote if close by, just a little bit of assurance if the crook wants it bad enough they will get it. Just make it a little tougher for them to grab they might jsut move on.
