I'm not fortunate enough to have a secure brick garage so my Bros is parked under a bike cover behind a 10ft high bolted wooden fence but I do not have any lock on it apart from the standard steering lock. As such, I've been wondering recently about whether or not I should think more about security and came across an ingenious idea on another motorcycle forum for a home-made bike alarm that I'd like to share with you all.
The idea is to buy one of those small inexpensive personal attack alarms that can produce up to around 140db (they can be found on ebay for less than $10). You then secure it in a discrete place on the bike and attach the rip cord to one of the spokes on the wheel when you park up. If the bike is moved more than a few inches the rip cord becomes detached from the device and the alarm goes off.
I know a lot of people ignore alarms going off but for the sake of $10 I think it might be worth implementing.
