Hey guys, I am definately wanting to get an alarm installed on my bike, but I'm not sure which brand is the best and what ones are to be avoided. Also, I am not sure how hard/easy it is to install one, I don't really want to pay $$$ to have it installed professionally if I can do it just as good myself, however, I also don't want to be stuck there with my bike torn apart and no clue. Any ideas, hints, suggestions?

I have a bunch of buddies who use the Scorpio 600, its sweet, it totaly works like it should... no crazy false alarms at 4am and is smart enough to not run the alarm till the battery is dead. if you wanted i think Scorpio makes an even more tricked out version then the 600.

as for install the directions are pretty good and install is easy. the setup for the angle sensors and proximity sensors on some bikes can take some time but it is prolly as easy as that stuff can be. they offer factory connector kits for alot of bikes so you dont have to splice any OEM wires.

if i were spending my money i would get Lo-Jack before an alarm. just cause i dont like alarms: they make me more paranoid

as sokanxx said the scorpio are a nice system you can find them on ebay for anywhere from 230 to 360 depending on the model. and then for a little extra you can get a factory connector kit that will plug in to the oem style harness so that you dont have to cut and splice any wires.

I agree scorpio is definately the best for a bike. Gorillia makes some "cheaper" bike alarms, but remember you get what you pay for!!!!!!

update:

went ahead and bought the Scorpio SR-i900, I figured drop the cash on it now and save it down the road. got the perimeter sensor, batterybackup and anti-hijack/ignition disable too. installation with the honda harness was a snap, no cutting any wires. ran into some trouble because I have aftermarket turn signals, didn't need to cut anything it just took a couple tries to get it right. the ignition disable gave me the most trouble, after getting the tank off and splicing into the ground wire of the fuel pump, found out the ignition disable wouldn't do shit. called them up, and found out that honda decided to be fucking dumbasses and make the ground wire on the CBR fuel pumps the solid brown wire, not the green as it should be. I am not sure what models are affected, mine is an 04 F4i, but figured I might pass it along. Other than that, the thing is amazing, LOUD, and adjustable sensitivity settings work great. I'd recommend it to anyone :-D

I use the smith@westen brand. lol
