I found the HD system to be overpriced and underfeatured. I bought the ThunderPager from Aritronix (now the Scorpio from Aritronix) instead and installed it myself. Best thing I ever did was NOT buying the HD factory security system. I have so many more options and features and never need to go to the dealer for help!

May be a little late
The second post is for the Radio shack siren and tells you what color wires from the radio shack siren goes into which wires of the bike. IIRC, the red goes into the brown and the black into the green wire. Do the search though to verify.

You might be right about no one cares about sirens
but I'm willing to bet that if a guy see's someone pushing a bike with the siren wailing away, he or she would call the cops.
I'd like to think that there are a lot of good folks out there that would be (at the very least) curious if they saw a bike with lights flashing and a siren screaming. Not so much for a car since we're all tired of those damn things going off.

Connector is located under left side panel, connector is at the lower left of the fuse box. Radio Shack siren has 2 wires red and black, the bike connector has 3 wires brown, green and black. Connection red from siren to brown on bike and black from siren to green on bike. Do a search there is a exellent post on how to do this mod.

The HD security system works for me...I like having it.
If some kids decide it would be fun to sit on or touch my bike....the siren yelling at them... should make them leave fast.
The pager in my pocket is good if I'm in a store....restaurant or motel. If someone or a car bumps my bike...I can be out there in seconds.
Batteries are not expensive..always keep an extra battery for the pager.
Maybe other security systems are good....don't know. HD works well on my bike.
Install? It was easy for me ( had the dealer do it ).
We all know that no system is 100% security. ...But a siren and pager will cover many problems.
now we can ride safe....and park safe(r).
