I'm aware of a couple of guys who have tried this unit.  Their findings were that the advertised half mile range of the RF unit was overstated as the reliability was more like 25 to 30 yards.  I tend to think I can do much better than that to protect my bike out to 100 yards with my Glock .45!

Before I retired and before the SEEG, I occasionally rode my Road King to work.  Because we had several Harleys stolen from the parking lots, (even with roving security), I decided to add both a cable and the H-D remote alarm.  I have owned it for about two years.  While I can't tell you what the ultimate range of mine is, I can tell you that concrete walls are its downfall.  At less than 100 yards, the pager unit cannot communicate with the security system through a concrete wall.  In line of site, I have tested it to distances of close to 1/4 mile.  In restaurants (made of wood), the pager can communicate with the security system at 300 yards.  Overall, I was disappointed that the system didn't perform better than it does.  That said, it is better than not having one but it may not be the best system available.

If I recall correctly, not all PDs have the capability of tracking with this product.  That would lead me to believe that the coverage although very good is spotty.

I saw that show also and have the following questions.

The theif said that disc locks could be popped with a screwdriver. Anybody ever heard of that?

The thief also said they could cut right thru the Kryptonite cables.  Is that true? Is that a 10 second cut thru the cable or a 5 minute cut?

WOW, if it's true I'm upset!
I always put the disc lock on and at night when out of town I usually put the 20mm cable thru 2 front tires or around a post.

Have I just been lucky? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Security System story,  Mr WeCVO and I went to Daytona Bike week last year, and I was riding the Road King at the time. Even lowered, I could not reach the kick stand to save my soul.  Necesity being the mother of invention they say, I had simply found some old yellow string in the garage that was the right length to tie a loop in one end that I put over the kick stand and the other end I would drape on the seat so I could pull the stand up before departure.  I would just then fold the string up and put away in a windshield bag.  Well on many an occasion when returning to our bikes, people would all be hovered around the 98, ann road king, and not the 04 cvo seeg.  All they were trying to figure out was what kind of security system we had on the RK that had a wire from the kick stand to the gas tank.  See, security is all in the eyes of the beholder.  Ha Ha!  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

did you hurry home and apply for a patent on the remote kickstand operation device?  I'm sure that the MoCo will be glad to offer it as a genuine accessory if you'll just have it made in some foreign country.  The yellow color was the unique factor, fer sure.   [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Great story Mrs.WeCVO!

Mrs.WeCVO,

 I think I'll add a yellow wire to my Cherry Red. I guess if you have a yellow bike you would need to add a red wire.

The disc locks and the cables are not as hard to defeat as the makers would have you believe. If you use both, you are gonna discourage a good percentage of the thieves because they will find a bike that has neither. Several years ago at a m/c run in northern Cal. I was walking thru a sea of Harleys when I saw a truck (4 door) stop by a bike. 4 LARGE guys got out, picked the Harley up and put it in the bed. I thought their bike broke down till they let it fall on its side and left in a hurry..bottom line, if they want your bike they will get it...I too have a .45 cal to add to the alarm.
