Xena Disc Alarm

[JES883]

Does anyone use one of these with a '04/'05 GSXR-600??? I'm considering getting one and I'm having a hard time choosing the right size. Which model works well for my GSXR-600 (with standard rotors)?

Also, would I be better off spending the extra money on a real alarm like the Scorpio system??? I've read previous posts and am looking for more opinions. I believe that physical, visible deterrents are better than invisible ones (alarm), but I just don't have any experience with this.

I currently lock my bike to a 6" square post in my carport with a cable. That's it (I may get a fancy chain instead). I can't see my bike from where I live, but I could hear an alarm. I just think I should have more protection.

Any advice here???

Store it in a shed. Put Infrared detectors hooked up to gun turrets. A mine field field can't hurt either but you might have to clean your bike more often from the boday parts flying up...

Seriously, get a shed. I have no personal experience with Xena products but the few people I know who have used them were satisfied. As for size, shouldn't their web site provide help on size?

A shed isn't an option. And if I had one, I'd just fill it with all my tools and stuff so that I can work on bikes and there'd be no room for gun turrets. If I could get the thing up my stairway, I'd do that, but there's too many right angles. I live in an apartment lately. Besides, I like knives, not guns.

My problem with the sizing is that it doesn't seem like I can get one that will work on both the front and the rear. It's one or the other. I don't like this lack of flexibility.

So that I understand these things (pardon me if I'm stupid): you slide it over the disc, to a point where the lock pin can pass through an opening in the rotor. This opening has to be big enough to let the pin through. Then you lock it. That's it, right??? Does the throat of the lock have to be completely filled to the bottom with the rotor???
