Bike Alarm

[kingsknight]

Anyone ever buy/install a simple alarm like one of these?

Seems like a good idea?

For £10 I shall try one ^^ Got a cheap oxford disc alarm on at the moment. Something extras always handy

Thankyou for the link!

I've fitted something simular from eBay

I think it's quite good - hooked up to the indicators too and quite sensitive

if you can stretch to a bit more me and a few other members have had these,

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200379831192?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

easy to fit and does the job well, just fit it properly with soldered wires or insulated crimps not the crap scotch locks it comes with

I was thinking about getting one of them V2s. Wonder how easy they are to install?

very, if you literally just want the siren bit it's 2 wires, 1 to each side of the battery and plug the siren into the main unit job done. the rest of the bits are only another couple of wires, the only difficult bit is the remote start depending on what bike you have, i never bothered with it

Done over 20k with a V2. Still going strong.

Bought and fitted.

Look at how many of them auctions end sub £17. Seems easier too just hit Buy Now. The alarms are universally made and packaged for several companies. They are all the same though.

I gave up bidding and bought mine from www.theonlinepartsshop.co.uk

A few pictures below.

The keyfob thing is quite big, but never had a fob for any alarm ever, so no idea if thats any bigger than normal. Theres no crimps for the wires too go onto battery, however does work if you just strip the wire back a bit ad wrap them around the battery terminal screws.

It takes as long too install as taking your seat off, strip wire back and wrap it around something, put seat back on. About 4-5 minutes in my case.

It works, and is loud enough that someones not going too want too wheel it down the street with it going off, but struggle too hear it from the other side of the house with all doors closed. I doubt its going too wake any heavy sleepers up.

125db, sounds about the same volume as the Oxford £30 disc lock alarm if anyones had it.

PICTURES!

Do you think it was worth the money?

£17? Take seat off, wire too battery, no soldering, bloody eck yes! Just gave it a hip bump, missus heard it from kitchen. Apparently either I am deaf, or I underestimated how loud the alarm is.

Also set the dogs off, and I am now in kitchen cooking lunch....

Edit

Picture of it fitted :

I'm going to order myself one. I love the idea of having an alarm on my bike. I think it would stop 99% of thieves trying to nick my bike! Just needs a small LED now!

I always go for the N Cook ones. Sure they are about £20.

Piece of cake to fir and come with 2 remotes and an led so worth the extra few pennies.

I personally wouldn't fit an alarm to a 50-125CC bike. A 600CC+ would be fine.

Unless, you ride said 50-125CC bike daily, if not the battery would be flat. And you can't leave the alarm on over night. Well at least, that's on my 50CC fagped.

I fitted a £20 alarm from eBay, now it's nothing but a pain in the backside, battery always flat, alarm chirping away at traffic lights, headlights only working with rev. Complete annoyance. Going to have to remove the alarm before selling. I'm 17 in two months, so 50CC has to go.

I just want something which goes off if anyone hits my bike. I'll still use my boss alarm lock as my disc lock.
