I have just recently bought a 2006 GS500F and would like to install an alarm. Can anyone tell me where they have installed the alarm unit and what alarm they installed? I was thinking about the Chatterbox alarm but cannot find the dimensions of the unit anywhere online before I order it so I can determine where I might be able to mount it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
Mine was located under the seat in a little space just before the rear lights
What alarm was it?
Just park next to a more expensive bike (any newer bike) or throw an old tarp over it, perps will think its ghetto. :laugh:
Under the seat where the toolkit goes would be a good spot,except you need to find another place for the toolkit. Also, if you remove the stock airbox for a lunchbox filter that gives you a bunch of room, you cold then mount it to the front of your battery box.
It was some unrecognizable alarm which gave me trouble in the rain so I threw it
But it's was something like 3X4 inches and various bits attached
There's some space inside the seat fairings. The regulator & some electronic thingies are on one side, I think. I'd always imagined I'd put junk there if I wanted to add more electronic junk.
Thanks, I took a look under the seat and tail light area tonight and it looks like there would be anough room for a reasonable size alarm attached up high above the tail light to the plastic fairing.
