Another option is a disc brake lock with built in motion detector and siren:
I use this one: Abus 7000

I never understood why Harleys just don't include the siren as standard, with a software option to disable it for those that don't want it enabled (accessible from the console menus). I always thought a security system that just flashes the lights was mostly pointless.

Nelyon,
Thanks for the pictures. I am having a little trouble orienting myself to the first picture. Could you please point out a landmark or two so I can get my bearings?

Jim, sorry for the ambiguous photo for the location but if you go through the steps of the battery tray removal it may make more sense. All of these photos were taken from the right side of the bike, here is a photo of piezo in the BCM frame where the stock Harley one goes. I spliced into the red and white & green wires (per Huntwhenever posted) and kept the stock plug in case I wanted to install the Harley Smart Siren II. I plugged the pigtail back into the dummy port and it works great.

I ended up wrapping the wires together with electricians tape and routed them through the hole right below the siren and I used some double sided sticky pads to help hold the piezo in place
