I've been getting ready to invest in some anti-theft stuff since I'm getting my bike into more of a long distance configuration.

And sometimes it would simply be a matter of incorporating some anti-theft devices that are installed on the same models sold elsewhere in the world, like immobilizer systems that must match a chip in the key with a chip in the ignition black box before the bike will start. Yes, it may raise the price of the U.S. model.
All harleys can come with this. Trip was interested in how I use or should I say I don't use my key on my ulta.

Tucking it well up under the tank would make it significantly harder to reach and would slow down the ignition swap. Or include an immobilizer-type device in the circuit.
Again the HD is like this

Missing in this article is the fact that many bikes are stolen out of private garages only a few weeks after buying them. So unless the thief spotted it on the road and followed it all the way home (doubtful), they are hacking into the databases of dealerships or insurance companies to find buyers of new bikes.

As for locks, buy a chain with links at least 14mm cross-section (can't be cut by anything except a plasma cutter), and put it through your swingarm, not just the wheel.

I know what you mean, just like how they don't mention alarms at all, strange...:idk:

Honestly...I think alarms in general on cars and bikes...are pointless...unless it has a built in cutoff when the alarm activates...its just a noicse maker that people think are annoying and loud and they dont go investigate at all.

Maybe but I firmly believe that alarms tend to make thieves think twice about bothering your bike. Besides, most bike alarms page the owner and I'm sure that thieves are allergic to getting shot!
