Bike Alarm/Immobiliser system

Afternoon

I have a lovely blue k7 650s, which at the moment is kept behind yards and yards of razor wired fencing, and then stored inside a hardened nuclear building, which is locked and I have the key for. (A bit drastict I know, but its the joys of being in the Raf)

Now my concern is next year I am moving way down south to the big smoke and I know for a fact the the Raf will not let me take my building with me. So to prevent some little scum bag (of which london has loads) walking away with my bike. I would like ideas bout alarms/immobilisers.

My bike will be garaged and locked up, but which companies are the best for bikes. As my bike is my pride and joy it will mean the misses having to go without her expensives shoes for awhile.

Any advice is greatly recievied

Get a Meta one if you must have one. Rock solid. Never had any problems with the one I had.

Although a ground anchor and good chain would be far more use

Yeah a big hefty chain is IMO the best, that and some beefy ground anchors. (almax chains look to be the best)

I had plenty problems with a meta system alarm, they are great at annoying you and leaving you pushing the bike home.

I have a Datatool S4C, the newer version and so far has been great, doesnt drain the battery as the older versions used to (apparently). Same bike and colour as yours, its also garaged and chained (mostly to stop a 16yrd nephew from showing off to his mates!!)

I think a couple of big chains attached to a ground anchor will be better than an alarm as everyone ignors them.

Saying that I have both chain and alarm.

i'd go big chain and ground anchor, alarms are a pain in the ar@e.

Dude, do yourself a favour and stick to the physical security like big chains, ground anchors etc. Alarms are only good to you if you can hear them. Don't expect Joe Public to intervene if you are out of earshot! Be fair, how many times have you heard a vehicle alarm sounding and not bothered to go investigate? I rest my case.

I have a datatool on my SV. It's a right royal pain. Never again. The reason I hate it, is that you can never actually turn the bloody thing off. Even in service mode it beeps away.

Invest in a good ground anchor and chain.

On the subject of ground anchors, I want to invest in a decent one but do you know if I could use it in a wooden shed? How much are they? (estimate) cheers
