Alarm Installation?

[kerunt]

I'm considering purchasing this alarm for my bike:
http://www.wcc-tech.com/spyLM508.htm

I'm wondering, how do these things get installed? Can I do it myself (I'm friendly with the tools ;)), or is this going to require shop time? If so, who does such installations and how much would it cost?

What I'm unsure of is the "engine immobilizer" part - sounds complicated (but likely some small electrical trick).

Any tips?

Thanks!

+1 for SCOPIO, I took one look at the thread and read some other cheapo make other than scorpio and thats all i needed to know!! its really freakin' easy to install a scorpio, customer service rocks!! you get what you pay for and then some!!! both my dad and i use their products... solid!!!

Scorpio has a good reputation, no doubt, but I'm not looking to spend $300 on an alarm for a $3400 bike...

I'm still not 100% sure if I will even get this one, but I'm strongly considering it - especially since round 2 of SFU starts up in a few weeks, and I don't have much faith in the safety of that parking lot...

My name is Jesse Frey, I represent West Coast Cycle, LLC. We are an import/distribution company located in the United States . We current carry three alarm systems, two manufactured in China and one system manufactured in Japan . The two systems that are manufactured in China have caused nothing but problems as they are of very poor quality. Our Japanese engineered motorcycle alarm is of the very best quality available, but the price is also high. We will continued to market the Japanese alarm system, as we are the exclusive importer for the United States . However, we are looking to replace the Chinese manufactured alarm systems with better quality systems at a very affordable price.



I would like to know how your product is superior to our current alarm systems manufactured by LFF Security Company. What type of warranty do you recommend for your motorcycle alarm?

This is the alarm you have listed...even the guy selling it to the public doesn't have faith in it...enough said.

You can post up any alarm you are looking at and I can tell your the good/bad about it. Most alarms on ebay (~90%) will fall into the 'Chinese' made category mentioned above.

Talon, I thought you were coming out with a two way alarm? Any word on that?

I see from the Talon website that the Talon T-2200 system is currently unavailable, but the new 3300 version will be arriving soon...any ETA on that? :)
My bike is currently hidden away in a secret bat cave at nights (my son's garage), but has to be moved to my carport in a couple of weeks...

Hmm, that's not good news :S. Guess I'll hold off for a while and see what else I can find...

Check out a TALON Brads great to deal with and the alarms are great.

The new alarm is still only one-way. The T-3300 will be replacing the T-2200 that many BCSB members have. End of september will be about the time I receive them. Best thing to do is go to our 'contact us' page of the website and send me your email address requesting notification for the presale on the new alarm. You will save about $40.

How far's the reach for the remote... Scorpio states 1/2 mile ... this I find to be the big issue... great to have a remote...but if it can't talk to the bike.. USELESS

I get a good signal to my second floor cement condo... all I really care about...makes me sleep at night

also a comfort watching that movie with the g/f

if it ain't 2-way, i ain't interested. i like having it go off and page me so i can grab the heaviest thing i can swing quickly ( my nice aluminum bat works great) and head out and surprise some stupid fuck and his bum buddy trying to figure out how to get the siren to stop blaring in their ears!! maaaaan you ain't seen nothing so funny as 2 guys running down the street yelling "Jesus fucking christ" at the top of their lungs!!
