How much is peace of mind worth to you when you park your bike somewhere? It won't stop the pro thief from getting your bike but it will stop idiots from messing with it. I sleep better at motels knowing the bike will scream if touched. But I keep good insurance too.

I don't have one, but I was thinking about putting one on, but one of the guys at the dealer told me not to waste my money on a HD one. Its a tough call cause it gives a little piece of mind

Anyone have any experience with the rlink?

Insure the hell out of it, I sleep just fine.
