The forum was recently changed to a new version. The posts with those in there had pics uploaded from a computer as opposed to a link to a url. Therefore, they were all lost when the forum changed over.

There were a couple of posts about using a Radio Shack siren on the alarms that are lights only. One post mentioned mounting the siren under the switch cap fairing. Anyone know what the wire connections are under the switch fairing?

Thanks,

Default Spare key

Anyone have any good suggestions on where to hide a spare key on 05 Glide? I like having the insurance of an extra key...
