Been using the Xena disc lock with siren for 10 years, plus I always install the siren with H-D security system. They are very loud. Plus with the H-D system you can get the pager beeper to keep on your belt or desk in a hotel room. You can sleep without worry providing you are packing heat.

backing heat applies to bike jacking...I have a carry permit an you can not use force to save property (at least in Ohio)...if they are stealing it in your presence an you "feel your life or someones life is threatened" you can use deadly force. Using a weapon is the absolute last option... even if in a clear justified case it's a legal nightmare an expensive to defend yourself.

Thanks for the insight fellas...
Since this happened over the weekend...I kind of just let him do his thing with the law and insurance co.
He said bike was locked w/fork lock but that's all he had.
I'm waiting for him to get back to me...I'll post a follow-up.
Thanks again,
smat

I have the rechargeable pager. Yes, you can run both. The only function of the pager is to alert you when the security system is armed, disarmed or triggered.

I may have the dealer install the pager in addition to the siren next time I have the bike in. Usually when I am riding the bike is within earshot of where I am, but occasionally not. I always have my iphone with me so presumably it would alert me if some miscreant is messing with the bike in a parking lot. When eating in a restaurant, for example.

Nothing is perfect protection, but does that mean people might as well think 'whatever happens is just what happens, accept it without attempting to prevent something from happening'?
