Review on Dowco Guardian 26038-00: Enhanced Motorcycle Cover Security Alarm System for Optimum Theft Protection by Vince Dickey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Loud enough to wake a sound sleeper!

I bought this 6 months ago after my bike was damaged several times (saddlebags stolen, side panels removed). I live in an apartment and park my bike behind the house. Last night the alarm rang in the middle of the night and was loud enough to wake me up (I'm a very heavy sleeper) and scare off anyone trying to pick up the suitcase. I just hope I didn't wake the neighbors up. My only complaint is that, as far as I can tell, the alarm sounds indefinitely until you reinsert the stylus or remove the battery (which requires a screwdriver). If I wasn't in town the whole area wouldn't shut down until someone figured out how to shut it down. I'll probably have to take it off my bike every time I go out of town as I'd rather have something stolen off my bike than my neighbors hating me.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
