Alarms, Locks, Tracking

I have been looking around for a good lock and I'm also looking for a good alarm or maybe just a tracking device. Anyone have any luck with any of these? I was looking at the Scorpio for an alarm and a chain/padlock type setup for a lock. I live in SF and bikes get ripped off here all the time. The only way I can get full coverage is if I park the bike in a garage! I have to look at some more insurance companies and see if they offer anything better. Any info a plus. :smt023

some guys here build a building just big enough for the bike
and make it look like a mower is inside (or even better a kids play house)
looks great with a dark green sign on it that says i love my deere

some times i think out loud check this out

make the end be a hidden door and if know one sees you stash the bike
they may not know where it went

one guy lives in a art deco style house and has a jib hoist to set his

HAHA, yeah, good idea. I have already seen those shed type things. I live in the shitty tho and have nowhere to put anything like that. Otherwise I would be set. :wink:

audiovox ma-200

I had an audiovox ma-200 alarm on my SM. 110dB siren, bump/angle sensor, remote and optional ignition dissable via included relay. Fits nicely under the seat of the SM, mouted to the top of the air box with double-stick tape. It's a pretty simple install if you have the wire diagram for the bike (which I posted here earlier this spring...). also pretty cheap, I paid $50 for mine on clearance, it's a discontinued model.

Here is one easy to install alarm. Call Don at the shop and he has the scoop on quite a few alarms he has recommended.

the house trailer guys here have a screw in anchor that works great
it is used as a high wind tie down

but one of them is cheap and hard to get out of the ground once the bike is locked to it :D

if you use one cover the end with a yellow bucket when not in use
it is a big time trip hazard
