Yeah as long as you can get a wiring diagram for your bike its a piece of piss.

with the way it hooks up you don't even need the bikes diagram really

well actually, the couple I've been looking at, plug straight into the loom, so no cutting or even diagrams.. the plugs only fit one spot, which makes it a fuckin dream.. but those are a tad more pricey.. but have cell phone technology in them too, like SMS control of the vehicle.. very bling I must say, but it'll tell you everything you want to know about the bike/car etc, just by texting the system. You can even shut it off, trace it's route over the past 255 hours, and pin-point it's location. bling.. the el-cheapo version of this, starts at just over US$200 which isn't bad, and it's tri-band cell, so in theory, it should work if I went with it.. But I'm keeping my options open for a while yet..

Hamilton is notorious for that, there's a concentration of RF transmitters at the southern end of town that interferes with remotes.

Hello bike?

Yep.

lol.. nah I wouldn't.. well.. not really.. well after a few days, the novilty would wear off.. like, after a few weeks. A month or so should do it.. but then text is free at the weekends too.. and I can remote start/disable the bike with the phone too, now how cool is that? it's like, James Bond shit here..

ah fuk it, I'd be textin the bike all the time.. just have to learn to make it talk back instead (which is an aditional package, but a small fortune), and make lights go back and forth across the front of the bike while it comes to pick me up from work when it's raining..

the bike gets its own phone number, so it doesn't matter what phone I use. Only I would know the phone number. And, if the phone number was found out you still have a PIN to figure, and if you got that too, it still doesn't allow you to ride off with it. You can start it, but once you sit on it or pull the clutch in, it'll arm again if the key isn't in the ignition.
Still can't start in gear, don't *think* it can self-destruct (altho will look into it), and I don't think it can fry the loom too. Might warrant a call to the manufacturer if it did!
