Alarm location
 

Trying to figure out where to fit an alarm to my bike (K4), but cant find a decent location for the control box. Its only about the size of a cig packet but because of the daft design theres no decent space. Where do other folks have them ?

I noticed that if the rear subframe part was curved outwards behind the side plastics, and all the fuses/relays were underneath the front seat, the "boot" area would be at least twice as big, stupid design.

Under the rear RHS panel??

I've noticed lots of SV's have them there!?

Stuck to the inside of the coloured plastic around the SV650 sticker you mean ?
I did think about that, but my alarm has a shock sensor which are best positioned the right way up, in the middle of the bike, fixed to something solid.

Mine is under the pillion seat, however is a k9 so not sure if im lucky enough to have more space under the seat than yours??:-?

Maybes, theres enough room on mine for a scottoiler and the toolkit, thats all. Pish design,lol.

Re: Alarm location
 

ah fair one my toolkit elsewere and as yet not fitted a scottoiler!!!

My scottoiler is now elsewhere too, on the garage floor :)
And once I get a toolbox lid i`ll put that away too, but, i`d still rather have the alarm hidden out of the way somewhere and retain a bit of storage space. I mean theres tons of useless wasted space on the bike, might just have to stick the alarm to the plastics. Not ideal though as I prefer to do things properly with bolts etc.

Cable tied to subframe rail is usual place.

Personally I would not fit an alarm.

Mine is cable tied to the right hand side rear sub frame. Fits nicely under the bulge of the upper back fairing.

Mine is located under the pillion seat, held on with a huge Zip Tie to the rail. I still have a lot of room for tool kit, side stand plate (for soft ground) and a big bar of chocolate when I go shopping!

I had mine fitted by my Dealer, but they screwed up the seat sensor and I had to glue it back on with Araldite in the end when it kept falling off!
