Killswitch

Has anyone installed a second, hidden killswitch somewhere on the bike? I want to install one or two on the bike until I get a proper gorilla 8017 alarm. Might do one that you flick and one that's a deadman switch if I can. My road test is today at 3 pm so I will finally get to ride without fear of the cops, phew. So I might be commuting to school daily. Being at school from 9am-10 pm this semester, it leaves too big of a window to be stolen.

I know it can be hoisted but I plan on using a chain and U-lock also.

Easiest thing to do is cut off the fuel pump with a switch under the seat. You worry too much... if they want to steal it, they will throw it in the back of a pick up truck. Paint it pick with rainbow graphic! :D:D:D They will leave it alone!

if they want the bike, they aren't going to start it... they'll get 3-4 guys and pick it up onto a pick-up bed and roll away....

that's what has been happening around the DC area... I've seen two bikes get jacked (not literally seen)... one was at a cvs, guy was inside for 20 minutes... other was at 4am from guys house.... though he chased them down and beat the crap out the guy (it was a guy and girl in a van, he caught them gassing up at a gas station).... he got lucky, has a buell xb12 w/custom paint and signed by Erik.... he wasn't going to let the bike go without a fight (literally :))

I'm getting one of those, installing a hidden kill switch, and a gorilla 8017 alarm. The only two places it will usually be parked is in my basement, or at college. By my campus there's usually loads of foot traffic plus security. We'll see how it works out.

I'm not telling you.

Just kidding, I did last week, and it was pretty easy. I just wanted to reduce the chances of joyride theft, but I bet it will never be an issue.
