Love it! Bump the bike and you get a warning. Arming and disarming give two chirps w/flashing lights. Hope you like yours.

It's good. I have the pager II tho, and tried to set it to not chirp, to no avail. So the bike chirps, then the pager. But it lets ytou knoww that it is not going to be easy. I put my fob in my pcoket and it and the keys stay there all day. I don't worry with the pager. I'll at least get a shot off.

I have the siren and the pager. It's a little easier leaving the bike out of sight knowing if someone messes with it they'll be dealing with the siren and I get a page. The pager went off once while I was in a drug store. I know the people who saw me running out the door assumed a biker just robbed the pharmacy. The bike was OK and I went back inside.

yeah... me too. only reason i did the siren was cause i wanted the pager. i also like the extra peace of mind the pager offers not so much for antitheft, but for idiots that may want to try a seat on the bike. if i did not get the pager, i probably wouldnt even bother with the siren.

Ok, I have had about 5 people contact me by pm for instructions on how to do this mod. Here is my explanation as best as I can all bikes are different and I did need a service manual to find the right wiring. Here goes, on my 07 WG I took off the seat and pulled the snarl of wiring out of the way under the seat (didn't disconnect anything), also disconnected battery and took off the battery box on right side of bike. I know this is different on a softail so you will have to improvise. After searching for a while I found a connector that was not plugged into anything and it had a brown/green/black wire on it. The siren connects to the brown and green wire if memory serves me right. Easy mod I will add a link to the post that I used for additional info it has the radio shack part number and other info. Also your wire colors might differ I found the wire colors in the back of my service manual in the schematic drawings, check there or post your questions someone will have the answer. Hope this helps prbably one off the best mods I have done. Cheap and adds some piece of mind.Good luck. Here is the link.. https://www.hdforums.com/m_820390/tm.htm
