Ok, there is alot of talk about installing alarms.
Scorpio Motorcycle Alarms
In my estimation is the best alarm for your bike. It is specifically designed for motorcycles.
It has options that most don't. Such things as tilt, and perimeter. But hands down the best option is the pager.
I have the SR-i500. And its a great system. Now I DID get the BDM harness but its not nessicary cause all it does is make the tail lights flash. THAT IS IT!! If you don't care about that, then dont get it. So lets see what we have to deal with.
The main alarm unit with the bdm harness and power harness pluged in.
The BDM harness that you showed pluged in the unit above
Power harness
The shock & tilt sensors are internal to the main unit. However, the perimeter and ignition/starter kill are external add ons.
Both pluged into this which plugs into the main unit.
perimeter
ignition/starter kill (really just a relay controled by the alarm unit)
All of it plugged in ready for install
Now all you need to do is hook up the positive power lead to the battery. Now if you didn't go with the bdm harness hook up you're done. Just set it up.
For the bdm harness all you have to do is pull this harness that connects to your tail lights.
Open it and basically the new added harness goes inline
Now if you have the ignition/starter kill. You CAN NOT hook it up to your EHC or ignition. You will have adverse side affects. However, there are other ways. But to keep things private and "secure" if you want to know how you will have to PM me.
Now you have this ball of wiring and mess hanging outside the side of the bike.
Zip tie the wires together to help organize the rat's nest.
I relocated the horn to the front and zip tied the alarm to the horns bracket. Now granted later I moved the alarm to a new bracket under the cowl area.
Now button everything up.
