Motorcycle alarm

[Disco Dan]

I have finally found the website for where I bought my motorcycle alarm... Very very cheap! Much cheaper than trademe!

www.motorcyclealarm.co.uk

The paging alarm has key fobs with lcd screens, that beep when your alarm goes off. ...say your in the movies, you cant hear your alarm... your key fob lights up and vibrates telling you your alarm is going off and what system set it off - tilt, starter etc...

Well recommended!

[Morcs]

I have one fitted to the RVF.

bloody good alarms. Make sure though that water cant get at it.

As days after spending a heap to get it installed, i Washed my bike and blew it up...

[BMW]

got told that most insurance companies perfer them data dots and in some cases waiver the excess if they are done!

what would be better. The dots or the alarm?

[Pancakes]

Thats silly cheap! might have to do it just cos of the price!

Yes thats what I thought when I saw the site, I grabed one when I had my little 250. Great alarms. Well worth the 'extra' wait for it to come from England.

If anyone wants it fitted flick me a PM. ...just make a 'contribution' to my beer fridge.

[Delphinus]

Hrrm.. I'm keen for one too. Anyone want to do a bulk order?

[mattimeo]

Delphinus I'm definitely interested. Thats a price I can surely pay!

[Delphinus]

Sounds good. Pancakes/Kitty you interested too?

I'll give it a few days then pm everyone that has replied.

[Little Miss Trouble]

Ooo I might have to put my hand up too, will have to make a contribution to that beer fridge though since I know nothing about doing the installation.

[Disco Dan]

Works out to about:


Standard Cylone C11 Alarm. $59.99 inc. Insured First Class Shipping To New Zealand.

[Little Miss Trouble]

Nope sorry Dan, thats in US dollars, about $80NZ at the current exchange rate.
I might have to put off getting one for a few more weeks after all:crybaby:

[Delphinus]

I'll see if I can get some better pricing for about 5... Anyone else keen?

[Disco Dan]

Paid about NZ$60 for mine when I got one through these guys.. will email them and confirm prices... in NZ$

EDIT: emailed, will post prices when I get a reply.

i don't mind doing it for ya i put one in my old gpx

same for anybody else...if ya want it installed lemme know, ill do it free since i'm nice..

[skidMark]

hmmmm will let u know i will need a definate landed price though...

[Disco Dan]

Ok, they have been emailed and I will post the reply when it comes through...

Those of you that actually want your alarm to work and not just have a box duct taped to your pillion seat, can contact me via PM to arrange a time to be installed.

[Pancakes]

I used to install RT's and the like so I'm fine with all the bits and pieces. No alarm experience tho. Mark, your a nice guy but I'm not sure if you come off as someone that people would let play with their bikes electrics! Could be a Disco Dan's alarm night, BYO test light and solder! I've got a big garage and work bench, tools etc if you guys want to have a fitting day/night.

[skidMark]

i was only a motorcycle mechanic for 2 years...

what the fuck would i know...

[Pancakes]

Sorry Mark! I guess I shouldn't judge you by the few short times I've seen you eh? You do come off like a young loose dude! Good an ya for not getting old before your time (like I seem to have done here).

[Disco Dan]

Ok folks:

Hi Daniel

The best deals when calculating postage seem to be on 4 units at a time.

We can supply these for £275 GBP including all shipping fees

Thank You

now that works out to about NZ$736 for 4 units. - NZ$184 each. :gob:

hmmm somethings not quite right there... <_<:oi-grr::crazy::scratch:

[Delphinus]

lol yeah thats what he sent me. I said wtf and he then replied:


Hi

The web prices are in USD not NZD

However there is an error on my behalf as I was also speaking to another group also in NZ about the advanced alarm and did not spot the fact you are interested in the cyclone variant.

For the cyclone the discounts are 10% on 5 units

Thanks and sorry about the confusion

He seems a bit confused.

[Delphinus]

what product were you looking at Disco? the Magic or the cyclone?

[Delphinus]

Me: So can you please confirm a price for 5x cyclone (no voice) delivered to nz?

Total cost is $292.45 USD

About $77 each

[Boob Johnson]

About $77 eachShit a brick Jack? Count me (if possible) @ THAT price :Punk:

[unrealone]

Anyone in Wellington have the knowledge to fit one for me? I'm sure we can come to an agreement ;)

[Disco Dan]

Yes that sounds about right :yes: I think they must be getting a bit confused!!!

If so, we could get 5 units as a bulk order.

Now how many people are interested?

Another thing that didnt occur to me is if we get lots do we have to pay GST?

you will be stung with gst PLUS other shit if you bring in that many at once.....

[Coldrider]

Customs aren't interested in collecting GST amounts of up tp $50.00 of the NZ value including freight & insurance.

I may be in. Ive put dibs on a steelmate off kneescraper - but, I have one of these already fitted, All id have to do is plug the new black box in...

Yeah so count me in actually...

[Pancakes]

I know from bringing in Rock-Climbing and outdoors gear that safety equipment is import tax exempt, maybe ask them to label the box "Safety Gear"? I did a guesstimate and am in for a landed price of under $100nz$. Thanks for the work your doing on this Disco.

[sefer]

I'd be keen on one if you go ahead. Keep us updated :)

[sefer]

Just had a quick look, Burglar alarms attract a 7% duty (that's on top of the 12.5% GST), but Motorcycle parts are duty free (just the 12.5% GST), so as long as they were listed as motorcycle parts you'd probably get away with the extra 7%.

As someone has mentioned, as long as the GST amount to collect is under $50 they won't collect it (so say as long as the total cost is under NZ$500 it won't be an issue anyway).

[Little Miss Trouble]

Sorry guys I think I'm gonna have to back out for now, though I'll look at getting one later on. (Hoping I've landed a new flat with space in the garage for my bike:sunny: which is all good but means I'll have moving costs to cover :mellow:)

[mattimeo]

I've imported quite a bit of stuff over the past few years - MC parts, airsoft guns, all sorts of stuff. Providing the parts are labled in appropriate (non duty-taxed) categories there won't be any problems.

Crutial point: Always keep the 'declared' value under $500. If the true value exceeds, just ask the supplier to declare the value of each unit slightly less. Sorted!

BTW put me down as definitely! I'm hoping someone can help me install - or give me some good instructions anyway. I'm fairly handy with a spanner ;)

Sounds like Dan's done this alarm and others before and I know my was around vehicle electrics too. Getting it all plugged in and going shouldn't be hard, getting it to look real nice and running all the wiring well etc takes a bit more planning, it can help to have a few people around, take off your fairings/tank etc and stare at the parts that need to go on and your bike for a while. I was thinking if we have an alarm night we could take instructional pics to post so others can get a handle on this kind of thing on a few different types of bikes.

That'd be cool for us that live a wee bit far away to make it up for the alarm night :P

[rphenix]

it might be worth not bulk ordering so you can escape the customs duty? Aint the limit around $300?

Not sure I dont import much but last time I imported some parts I did likewise for a mate (save postage) only to find it may have been cheaper to order seperately!

[Disco Dan]

Ok, im looking for a F*CKING loud alarm system.....

Kneescrapers thread looks interesting... also found these:

Talon (http://www.talonalarms.com/products/)

Krypton (http://www.kryptonalarms.com/technical_details.html)

Armed Guard (http://www.armedguard.com/shop/index.php?shop=1&cat=3) - this one has the advantage of plugging straight into the loom.

Can any of these be plugged into a stebel??? :innocent:

[Griff]

I would just love a bike alarm similar to the one I saw on Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights TV Comedy. It repeatedly plays the voice of the Bouncer saying "Get back you bastards or I'll break your legs."

[unrealone]

Just ordered a Cyclone C-11 Alarm. Should have something to report next week. Wish me luck ;)
