I like the idea of an alarm. But instead I decided to use common sense when
parking the bike. I park in the garage at night. If not, or in town, I put on 2
cable locks, 1 for each wheel. I make sure that they run through the disc
brakes. I also invested in a $25 bike cover from my local parts store. (what a
thief does not see). All in all, remember that the bike weighs 436 lbs. Hardly a
quick and easy theft..LOL. Most thieves are lazy and want a quick in n out. IŽd
say the weight alone puts them off. Of course if you want to park the bike in a
dark alley after dark, there are no guarantees.....

I also park in a garage at night, but the daytime is another story sometimes. A
Disk Lock will allow some vandal or thief to wreck your braking caliper system.
A chain is just another carry handle, but at the rear it has a good effect. The
Alarm chain or Alarmed Disk locks if painted in a neon red will get the thieves
rolling on to another bike down the road...
Putting a bunch of locks at every stop, can be a hassle and one day ( unless
your system is religious) you will forget and wreck your own brakes....
Thieves are not that lazy, since they are usually on crack or some garbage, and
they always need a kilo of stuff to get rolling...
