lock the top and increase the sensitivity to max and you'll have no problems...I've never had an alarm go off due to wind, but if someone bumps the bike or trys to open the bags on my Heritage, i know it.

The siren from Harley has a built in transmitter and you can add a pager (get the battery one!) and know from over 1/2 mile away that someone is messing with it...

the factory alarm is not adjustable.

when you say topbox, are you referring to a tourpak? since you have a streetglide, that does not have a tourpack, i'm assuming then you have added a detachable setup. if that's the case, there are a few options for locking, though the only way to keep it safe from thieves is to remove it and keep it with you.

Hmm. That's interesting because my rechargeable pager lasts on a single charge for the better part of a week. I bought the rechargeable unit a couple of years ago because everyone on the forum with the "battery one" was bitching about that model eating batteries. I've been very pleased with the security pager in general, lots of range and it's not that expensive either.
