Has anyone installed a security system. I'm used to the factory system on my 03 FLHTCUI and thought it would be nice to have something similar on the FXR4. Pager option would be a bonus. Will factory set-ups work? Aftermarket alternatives?
Thanks

Hi,
I installed Scorpio 600 system onmy FXR4. It works well. But the unit had to be mounted on top of the battery under the seat. If it is monuted on it's side the motion sensor will not work. I also intalled the optional infa red sensor that will sound warning chirps if someone getts too close then the alarm will sound. They also have a relay that will kill the ignition when the alarm goes off or you could kill the ignition with the remote. I am happy with it.
Originally my local Harley dealer ordered a alarm for a 2000 Dyna. The 2000 Dyna and 2000 FXR4 use totally different wiring harnesses and are not compatable.Hope this helps.
Good Luck,
Ltank

In my search I found the 'Scorpio' units. They appear similiar to the OEM style? Was having difficulty determining the difference between the models.
How did you find the installation? Was it difficult?

Hi,
The installation was easy. I just followed the instuctions. I read them twice to be sure I got it right. The connectors that are included makes it easy to connect wiring to existing wires. Like I said the unit needed to fit mostly flat and not it's side. The booklet did not mention this and I thought it was borken or that I made a wiring error. Other than that it was easy. If you don't have a wiring diagram you will need to trace the wires or use a meter to ohm out the wires to connect to the blinkers. I also connected the infared sensor and ignition disable relay.
Thanks.
