I was looking at that, have no experience with it.

My tactic is to have old Evos and never wash them. Anyone stealing my dirt bikes is probably in poor standing and have my sympathies.

Hey Randy,

There's a place here in Ontario that used to install trackers on trailers and equipment.

These work on cellular as well as GPS, so they dont need a clear view of the sky. Can hide it pretty easily. They have a few different systems with different features.

There is however a subscription involved.

https://trackimo.com

Just a suggestion...

I can’t believe what I’ve read on this thread. No wonder so many women are becoming ‘ Cuckold wifes’. You guys that won’t do anything to a guy that steals your bike? Goddamn what a bunch of fcking wussings. I’ve been riding since I was 19 and if a guy stole my bike, I want my bike back and his **** or his OL’LADY’S ****. I’m interested in getting a GPS device so I can find my bike if it got stolen but mainly to get the MF that stole it. Nothing against law enforcement but I would only call them for the report. My God what has happened to MEN?

Ya riding since 19 well ... Most of us here have been riding a day or two. <joke<< Don't get triggered.
Some might have families, wife,life, that they care about more then a bike that can be replaced. It's not like the old days where people fought it out and that was that. No, they pull a gun on you or a knife and kill you. Yeah,Yeah most riders have guns too. Would be ironic if something happened guns drawn bike owner dies thief still has bike...game over.
Take a look around on the site as well you we see there are some serious bad *** people here (vets). That surely could do the *** whooping . But sometimes you have to fight with your brain grass hopper.

Ride safe man

As I mentione in my comment I am going to do custom tracking device (that should look like V&H FP3 package :-P). Just collected all parts for it (GSM/GPS communication module, microcontroller and CAN bus reading module) and I am starting to elaborate this way.

Here is my main idea: A) read from CAN bus and watching bikes alarm if it wakes up B) simultaneously in periodic peaks check if the GPS location changed.
In any case:
- if bikes alarm detecting something suspected
- GPS location changed
- or ping from server to bike was not received after some time
- disconnect tracking device from bikes power and run on backup battery
I will be informed about that.

Question about point A: can anybody direct me about the Harley OBD2 feed data structures that I can pragmatically use? I found something like this:

and this is more verbose (pages 18-19) https://conf.splunk.com/files/2017/s...-my-harley.pdf
