Default Alarm recommendations

I'm looking for an alarm system that will bypass the ignition when I step away from the bike. Have used the Scorpio alarms in the past. Harley wants almost 400 bucks for theirs. Just looking for other options. Not finding much online. Thanks

Don't look like a whole lot of traffic. I am looking for the same information so I will keep in touch with this thread. Not much help to your question, but if I find something I will post it here and hope you will do the same.

UPDATE: After much research I have not found a system that compares to the Scorpio. Having had two Scorpio alarms in the past without any problems, I went with them again. Just ordered the SRX-900 system. It comes with siren, shock and tilt sensor. I added the ignition cut, extra fob and perimeter sensor. The perimeter sensor is only $10 with their current promotion. Under $300 with 2 day shipping.

Looks like the way to go.

Just to add to this. Scorpio alarms are great but I was told by Scorpio that they are for lead batteries. Lithium batteries dont like the parasitic draw it has but will still work. If the bike will sit for a few days, put it on a tender. If you ride every day then it will be fine

So, where did you install it? And what model of bike?
I'm on a '18 Ultra Limited and have a couple of ideas but wondered if there are other options. My Plan A is affixed to the underside of the tour pack mounting rack. Not optimum but as good as I can figure out.

All three applications I had were mounted under the seat next to the battery. Currently in a 2010 Road King.The siren is mounted in the space in front of the battery. The shock sensor is in the metal tray under the seat behind the battery.

Looks like I may owe someone some credit where it is due. I knew there was a slot in the left electrical caddy set up for a siron. No OEM siron installed but there was also no way my aftermarket alarm was going to fit in that OEM slot. Wrong! Slid in that slot like it was made to be there. Talk about surpised. Kudos to someone. Major headache averted.

I am no impressed with the volume although I have never set it off outside. The sound may carry better out of doors. It will let people know that the bike is wired so in that sense it is a bit of a deterent. I did hear it go off in the garage the other night while whatching the game on tv so it is ok. In my opinion, 'siren' is a bit of a stretch.
