Just installed one on my bike about 2 weeks ago. I mainly got it for when im at work. It was a pain in the butt to find a place to mount it on my 07 but i figured it out. It has some good features and serves its purpose. The range on the remote is actually not that good. But for me I bought it as a deterrent. The 2-way feature is just a bonus. The shock sensor works great as does the tilt sensor. I also have LED's on my bike and if I have my alarm armed and I turn them on it will go off from the current spike. PM me if you would like some more specifics

I've been quite happy with the alarm itself. As said above, don't expect the pager to work at great distances, but it has surprised me a couple times inside big buildings.
I got a spy two way alarm, works great. No tilt sensor but it's got a microwave sensor instead
I purchased one for my 03 and couldn't get the box to fit. I installed it on my wife's R6 and it works fine. Worth the money, shock sensor works great and tilt works as it's supposed to.

My only complaint is the siren volume could be greater.
Hey everyone, just wanted to pop in and offer some assistance.

m4co, what are the range issues you are having? The arm and disarm functions should only work within about 100ft because it's through an AM frequency. The 2-way paging functions should work up to 1/2 mile, and we've been able to get a little more around our warehouse. A lot of stuff effects it, so the range is never consistent sadly.

Avispa, where did you install the alarm on your wifes bike? 120 db is pretty loud as long as its not muffled by anything. I know, testing these alarms can give me a nice little headache.

If anyone is interested we have a Facebook site now and I'm looking for alarm install pictures to help the motorcycling world out. Even though our alarm isn't big, sportbikes are getting more compact and it's getting harder to find a spot to fit anything.

Let me know if you have any questions for me!
