    I recently picked up a Gorilla 2, two way alarm system and was wondering where people have had the most success mounting the alarm and the titl sensor.

    I only had a fe wminutes to spare today and did not see any extra room in the trunck, or under the seat. I read some review on the 5th gen saying that alatms swere installed by the Rad or on the front fairing somwhere.

    Does anyone have any advice as to where to install the alarm speaker and tilt sensor on the 6th gen?

    Thanks in advance

    After stripping the bike down, the Gorilla Alarms speaker only fit in one area; the right side radiator

    1st shot - Speaker location mounted by velcro
    2nd shot - Wiring job (red & black wire)
    3rd shot - Antenna location. I had it facing forward and but later tried it vertical and had better range.

    I finally got mine installed today. I was a bit concerned that the fairing wouldn't fit back on right, but it was perfect. I'm still messing with the sensativity settings, I don't see much of a deference between them. It's a lot louder then I expected. And the pager reaches my office no problem. Finding a place for the tilt sensor was tricky. I ended up velcroing it to the bottom of the inside fairing. I have a fealing I'll be taking the fairing off and finding someplace else for it though.
