hi guys, over the last few nights i have been building a bike alarm for my gs500, ive been looking at buying a ready built alarm but they seem to be at an alarming price. ( i'm a qualified electronics engineer ) ...anyway most bikes seem to be stollen buy morons with a van... ( IN THIS AREA ).
so my alarm concentraits on tilt switches and a motion detector, i thought picking up the bike to load it into a van or just trying to free wheel it down the road, tilt switches and a motion detector would do fine... this is assuming you havent locked your bike up because you' ve just popoed in to the shop or shome thing...
the alarm fits under the seat and works on three tilt switches and a motion detector, this gives left , right, and front - back tilt and a general motion detector for every thing else, also i have it tied into the side stand switch and a tamper switch under the seat ( to stop anyone trying to get at the alarm electrics, the alarm it self is about 2 by 3 inches ans about 1 inch high, the alarm connects to a 120 db siren under the seat ( its LOUD ) also iv'e wired a flashing led an the dash board and a flashing bigger led inside the back light array to warn people its alarmed..................the alarm meets all my initial criteria and works as planned.. all at a cost of about £ 20........if anyone would like the info on this alarm let me know via my e- mail address and i shall see about forwarding the plans ....................i will give the plans away FREE OF CHARGE ... but its up to you to build it......should take a few hours...ideal to build over the winter....ready for next year

Thanks for offering to everyone on here...pm sent

Home-brewed alarms are always best. The thieving shits who steal bikes quickly become familar with the more popular alarms and quickly learn what triggers them how to avoid setting them off and how to disable them.

Thanks, man.
