    looking to fit an alarm on my 2007 Bonny. Came across this.
    Hawk K-50 plug and play alarm, they say if fits direct into the alarm plug on the bike.
    Anyone fitted one of these ?
    It looks a nice unit for the price.
    Or is there a better alternative ?

    Alarms stop owners riding away, not thieves chucking them in the back of vans !!!!

    To be honest I'm another one that thinks alarms and immobilisers are a waste of time.Wearing the battery down, immos that come on within 30 secs meaning you have to turn them off again and again.

    Physical security - good locks and chains make it awkward to lift or wheel the bikes away; data tagging makes the parts worthless and traceable on the 2nd-hand market by the scuffers.

    Thieves are generally lazy & not that bright so just make it difficult for them and they'll go elsewhere.

    Brother in law had to strip alarm / immobiliser out of his rocket 3 to get it started again!! Totally crapped out and couldn't get bike to run with it installed. Nightmare.
    After seeing that, sticking to chains and disk locks.
