Hi,

Many thanks

My two pennths worth is DON'T
Always a pain in the arse and especially troublesome when you are far from home. The discount on your insurance doesn't come anywhere near the cost and people never respond when they go off.
Save your money and invest it in a good chain and ground anchor.
As said just my opinion so feel free to ignore it

Got to agree with fugly here, they are a pain! Last 2 bikes had them and I hate them!

Almax chain and lock it to something solid :thumbup

Much more reliable and almost impossible to break.

+1 for almax chain and heavy duty grd anchor. My t came with an alarm which I never use but do use chain & anchor along with a Â£25 disc lock that insurance demanded goes on the bike. Didn't recognise the almax chain or heavy duty padlock or ground anchor set into concrete? Go figure???

Alarms are an utter pain in the arse on bikes . I had a spy ball on my dearly departed gixxer 7/11 , nowt but trouble . didn't get any insurance discount as I didn't have the so called professional fitters cert .
In the end I had to cut open the whole of the main loom to get out the alarm wiring .

My advice along with all the above is DONT . good ground anchor , secure garage , good lock chain , dog in the house are a far better option .

Is it not better to go for a tracking device rather than a pure alarm. At least you have a chance of finding where the bike is if it's taken rather than no one taking any notice of an alarm going off?
