gorilla alarm installed..

well i got the gorilla alarm installed with the two way pager. quite nice...some level of comfort knowing i can tell what activity is about the bike. motion sensor, tilt sensor, ignition sensor.. very pleased.. will at least afford me a shot at stopping the evil forces.. :vader:

I would also ask that you all check your insurance companies... i called mine today and found they had in error dropped my theft and fire coverage... :bs:

i can't understand that one...but its back there now. :wink:

 

how much did it cost, and did you install it or have it done semi-professionally or professionally?

 

200 bones, and had my service shop install it.

he had a job fitting the module.. he had to locate it in the front fairing above the rad. he was rotted he could not fit it under the seat he used the access cover inside the fairing up behind the front tire.

 

yes how much did it cost and how installed it and how much did it cast for the install ? i have one i bought and haven't found the time to install it maybe i might have it installed ?

 

200 for the alarm!...the install charge was buried in a bunch of other work

 

so this is more of a bragging post than a nice info write up......

 

bragging? really. i thought it was a sharing forum where it was acceptable to let others know what trinkets you have on your ride and how its working for you. i was simply sharing that i was happy with my alarm and that i had discovered in this theft deterant exercise that my insurance company had removed my theft coverage...

where you see bragging in this I am at a loss to understand..

 

Im just playin with ya dutch, you know Im just jealous I dont have one....

 

dont get me wrong.. i love braggin about my ride too...

but in this post i was honestly just sharing.. now if i was braggin....i would have tossed in some photos and a few :strong::strong::strong::strong:

lol

cheers
mate.

 

Hey stuka, no questions! This is just show and tell .....

 

yeah, thats the really nifty part of it. One fob for setting the alarm and one to keep in your pocket with a animated display of the activity on your bike. I've never seen one like it before. Thats the part that interested me in getting it to begin with. I wanted to know what kind of tampering I was potentially running after. Where I work a lot of nights, I park outside and work on a 2nd floor...

there are a lot of kids in the area that skateboard and what not so the "warn away" part of the alarm was real attractive. it beeps pre-warning of a louder alarm if you bump the bike. on the fob it shows a hammer hitting the bike..

Then for tilting, again the fob show the bike in motion...and for ignition activation the fob displays a key...

so on some level you know how serious you have to be when your running after your baby and wether or not you need a big stick in tow..lol.

I hope I never have to run after it. First time I ever had a bike that I wanted an alarm on. If someone made off with this machine I think I would cry.

The RWB is rare and I don't plan on letting her out of my hands ever. If someone were to steal it I would feel so violated. An alarm on a bike might seem silly to a lot of people but for me, it at least gives me the practical that I can hustle from the second floor maybe before it disapears.. if nothing else it will frighten the be-jebus out of the theifs if that siren goes off.

7 sirens blow off one behind the other..

 

I put the same alarm on about a month ago before by trip out to Cali. I stayed a week in the same motel and had the alarm go off once at about 11 pm the third night I was there. No one was there when I looked out the door, and it was good to know it was the shock sensor and not the tilt sensor (so I know someone didn't stand the bike up). I'm not sure how far away the 2 way pager works, but I've gotten fairly far away and it's worked so? I mounted the unit inside and under the left front fairing, and the whole install probably took no more than one hour. If I get the fairing off soon I'll post some pics.

 

Hey Dutch, do ya have any pictures? Locations, wiring, sensor locations.

 

Bumping this again. I got some pics from vfrjon on his install ( http://vfrworld.com/forums/modifications/22550-bike-alarm-placement-6th-gen.html ), wondering if anyone else has some ideas too. I just ordered this alarm.
