Worth the money for the extra quiet.

The price alone is worth it. The alarm is loud enough for you or your neighbors to hear, and loud enough to make a would-be thief uncomfortable if they actually stay close while the thing roars. Tip: Don't forget you've got this thing, because while it's easy to mute it when you turn it on on purpose, the biggest problem is turning it off when you need to get the alarm out of your head. Close the lid AND look for the severed pin (it's on a small string so it'll be noticeable), but I don't think

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Repair

Too loud! Suitable for electronics

Received this item about 1/2 hour ago and should have written this review. So I had to remove the security module from my Harley because my mechanic swore he would never touch my bike with the pesky security system again. I don't have a garage, so my bike is parked in our designated outdoor parking lot during the summer season (it's stored in the winter). Anyway, I bought this bike alarm for some security. Easy to use and will absolutely piss off your neighbors when it works. The thing is very…

Simple concept, great results.

It's a pretty basic product but it gives great results. I bought these for my existing motorcycle cover (not a suitable Dowco product) and was still able to use them effectively. I would use the strap as a clasp on the back of the main unit to attach to the wheel spoke and then attach the other end through the hole in the motorcycle cover. I used it on a motorcycle trip and it may have saved my motorcycle when I woke up at 3am to this product's loud alarm and half ripped off my cover to find…

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…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

So simple, but so effective!

So simple and yet so effective. This alarm clock is powered by a single 9V battery and is a 'switch' only as removing the pin makes noise. And it's very loud. Not like a police car at all, they are designed for use at very long ranges. And maybe a little quieter than a car alarm, but the noise is relative to what is needed to protect the bike and certainly very loud for its size and amazing. Much more than enough! Because it's so simple, it has no time settings, no remote control, and nothing…

Pros
