Lojack
what's the word on the Lojack system for security? Does anybody have it installed on their bike?
I know it's fairly spendy and does nothing to prevent a theft, only helps locate a bike that's already been stolen. Beyond that, any help on this or other similar products would be appreciated.

I've had it on my bike since new and never used it.
I've also had insurance for the whole time and didn't use it either.
It's just one more thing to help create peace of mind for me, like the alarm system, siren, pager and disc lock.
Be aware it only works in major metropolitan areas - a lot of places where it won't do you any good.

The newest security system is satelite tracking. It costs to install it on the bike and then it's acivated if the vehicle is stolen. Cost is high when it's activated but it'll find the vehicle anywhere in the world. First heard about it from a customer with a very expensive four wheel drive van that is having it installed. LoJack is limited to certain areas where it can be located.

I have it on my '09 Street Glide. It will notify you three different ways if it gets activated. You can then call Low Jack to confirm that the bike is indeed stolen. It uses a Fob just like the HD security.

thanks for the input! It looks like based on coverage, Lojack seems inadequate while the satellite systems are the way to go so I don't have to worry about coverage issues.

Called my insurance yesterday about this (allstate) and they didn't offer a subsidy or an insurance break if I had this installed so will pass on it. I heard some insurance companys will though.

One other thing about Lo Jack. I had it on a Sportster and when I sold the sportster LoJack told me I could not transfer it to another bike. If I wanted LoJack on my lowrider, I would have to buy another unit. Don't have LoJack now and won't in the future.

I have it on mine as well. Once I couldn't find my key with the FOB attached so i used my backup key. When I got to my destination there was a message on my cell phone letting me know that the bike had been moved. I think it is well worth it for the peace of mind.
