Cheers Ttackmaster, Some good gen there; thanks!

Thanks Paul! At present, I think I'm going to go for the bike trac system from road angel. I've been comparing these things for ages and it's really tough to find one that does everything I want, as reliably as I want it to! I also bought a motorbike cover with the datatool logo on. Whilst this is a good visual deterrent (particularly for a bike without a tracker), I'm not sure that it's the best idea for a bike WITH a tracker. My biggest worry is that I fork out a small fortune only to have it removed in 5 minutes. Giving a thief something to look for isn't the smartest tactic... So far, all the decent trackers with at least GPS and GSM/ GPRS have the ability to view location through a web portal. mtrack isn't as good for this. The most comprehensive is the Scorpio Rlink system, but that system lacks the crucial RF tracking ability (meaning you've lost your bike if it's plonked into a metal shipping container or lorry). One thing I've noticed is that there isn't a decent resource for motorbike security options on the internet. Often, devices are poorly described and advertised and it's incredibly difficult to compare them. At present, the plan is now: - Almax chain - Possibly bike trac (no point having an alarm. All that matters is that I get notified) - Alpha dot Any more advice would be gratefully received! SS

Thanks! It's good to be here!

Hi ladies and gents, I've just acquired myself a midnight star (950). It's still at the dealer's so I haven't yet pulled it to bits to check out how much space I have for security pieces. I was wondering what your opinions are? Essentially, I'll be using at least 1 Almax IV chain and padlock (maybe 2 for shits and giggles). I'm also looking for a tracker (maybe mtrack pro). Not bothered about an alarm that would make a noise but bought the Cyclone V3 for its 2 way paging ability (to give me that quick heads up). I found out elsewhere that it wont fit though, so it's gone back. The advantage of not having an alarm is that a would-be scrote may not bother ripping the bike apart to look for the tracker if they aren't spooked. I'll also be alpha-dotting the bike to kingdom come. At least then, if they get away with my bike, someone might get locked up. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated (I've scoured the forums here and elsewhere and not found anything that would prepare me for space related issues). Many thanks, SS

Just figured I'd say hi to y'all! I'm part of the XVS 950 crew! That's about it really Ciao for now! SS (not the German kind)
