Default Looking for advise/experience

I realize that there are other threads about this but surprising nothing really helpful with advise.

I want to put an alarm system on my SG and I'm really not interested in paying the price HD wants for theirs. I've been looking at the Gorilla...it's reasonable in price but there are not many reviews on it.

I don't need fancy, just a deterrent that I can hear from inside my house or hotel room and one that is plug and play so I don't void any warranty with HD.

Any thoughts on "disc" mounted ones like Xena?

Regards...

Buzz

Here is an inexpensive alternative siren from Radio Shack you can install yourself.

That is just the mouth piece, not the system. It sounds like he needs the whole system.

What good is the siren without the alarm system?

I think I'll give the Gorilla a look see....it's inexpensive and a straight forward install. May even add the Guard Dog also...

Thanks for the feedback gents....ride safe!

Whatever you buy, do a thread on the install/review. I'm interested in what you have to say about it.

Ok I have got a quick question about the siren intall. I have a 08 EG Std. It has the "alarm when you turn the switch off the lights flash. And it wont restart unless you have the key FOB.
Can a siren be added simply has described in other threads. I think it was wireing into a exsisting plug? And how does the siren churp or what ever when the lights flash?

THANKS in advance
