Bike Alarms/Immobilisers

[ManDownUnder]

Get a good brand and fit it PROPERLY or get someone who knows what they're doing to fit it...imagine how much fun it could be if the wiring started going wrong and your bike decided to immobilise randomly.....

Oh and if you haven't already (or maybe this is the reason you are thinking of fitting one) - tell your insurance company and see what discount on your premium you can get.

I like that idea! Give them 3 minutes of fuel.... half way down the Symonds Street offramp brrrrrrrr.rr.r....rr.................. *bugger*

Hello Officer... err... no I don't want any help I'm err... just off .. err... home... please go away...

mate of mine is coming over with a concrete drill, some kinda chemical concrete stuff, and we'll score a big fark off dynabolt from placemakers.

I have seen a bunch of solid looking chains at a few stores round akl that I'll thread thru the frame and into that groundbolt.

wont be to expensive I wouldnt imagine.

Also did you know there is a product out there that is basically a hard plastic dome, it has a big dynabolt in the middle and a ring to thread your chain through - the idea being that you bolt it to the concrete but when it's not in use for the bike you can drive over it and stuff......if you have a dynabolt just sticking out of the concrete will you trip over it or damage tyres on it?

I'm trying to sell Mikeys old house alarm at the mo if anybody wants a cheap alarm ($200) for their garage.

I've stuck one in mine with 2 screamers. I'll let you know how loud it is once it's all finished.

Anyboidy know where to get a really cheap chain/padlock/ground anchor that will work? Every one seems to be taking the piss asking hundrends for each.

Go to the local sailing/boating shop, they have good welded chain and good anchoring bolts, often cheaper than anywhere else.
It used to be possible to get some good steel cable from the docks area container yards etc, too short to be any good or over used for meeting the weight standards (still very strong), then you put some garden hose over it, have loops crimped/welded in the end and you are done.
Another option I have seen is to use really large hinged U-bolts in your ground anchors, set into the concrete at your wheel centres, with padlocks to close them.
Hope that helps
