Alarm

[vanguard138]

Aware that your post is old, I just installed my new Zena XX14 onto my Rocket Roadster for the first time and HAD to comment.
1) It fits the Rocket just fine!
2) Super simple to use and . . . LOUD!!!

Got a photo of what it looks like on your bike?

Just for you, Amigo!
Be right back.
Apologies for the filthy bike - was caught in the rain yesterday.

I have the Triumph alarm, its finicky at times. If I park, turn the wheel left so the bike is leaning at its maximum, I can stand it up, and have rolled it back quite a bit before the alarm went off. If the wheel is straight so it is more upright, it gets very sensitive, attempting to open the saddlebag will set it off. Have to use the ferry mode when I wash it, have set it off at 6:30 on a Sunday morning more than once. So, I keep it more upright when I park it while travelling.
FAVORITE feature, if I don't set the alarm, it will set itself starting with slow beeps that get much faster, kinda like a bomb in the movies, people look at me when it happens, I just start running to screw with them yelling "it's gonna blow!"

I just installed the Scorpio system about a month ago... Excellent product! No complaints

Instead of an alarm I just have my Insurance company on speed dial,

So Ken,
They come provide you another motor with which to complete your well planned and expensive ride/trip?
Or pick your stranded ass up?
What about all the stuff you lost in your panniers and bag(s)?

I know what you are saying Bull, but from previous experience alarms on cars bikes ect are only good if you are close by , no one else gives a rats ar** about your stuff,and in OZ if you respond to your alarm unarmed as we are made to be by law its a fair chance the thief will be armed and you are at risk ,if you have a decent policy your accommodation transport home and compensation for reasonable loss of personal gear is covered , and as my sons have a few bikes I would be back on the road until my shiny replacement was arranged.

Excellent points to be sure, Ken!
I am NOT an alarm pusher! I think they all pretty much put your electronics at risk and I have NEVER used one!
I keep my motor in sight and close as I can when I stop for food and always as close as possible to the door/window of my ground floor motel room.
This shall be my first ride in 53 years using a wheel lock (XENA XX14). The noise it emits was a huge surprise to me.
It is so loud I am enjoying setting it off, just to be a PITA!
When traveling, I suggest everybody "stack" our bikes together at odd angles to best block each other into a wad.
Bottom line is to stay at a motel with Harleys in the park lot and hope you can convince the perp(s) that it's easier to grab one of them instead!!!

I may look into one of those wheel locks as a slight deterrent , one of the blokes who used to drive for us started his own interstate furniture removal business one day he and his offsider called in and we were talking about bike security and disc locks ect, he has a Vrod and I said it would be hard to move a rocket with a disc lock he and his mate got their piano straps out hooked them with some padding through the wheels and lifted the rocket up and moved it around my shed no problems,these 150mm wide straps go over one shoulders and across the chest and back ,they can lift heavy things fairly easily ,granted they are big guys and do this heavy work for a living , come to think of it I wonder where the V Rod came from LOL

Two dudes lifting a Rocket IS IMPRESSIVE!!! Dam*!!!
I have seen those type of straps used on friges, washers, dryers - never on a PIANO!
Next time you get a chance, do a video of them moving your Rocket around!
Me thinks that would be VERY educational to ALL of us!
