Just wondered how many people thought the same way as myself. Basically that they really are a total waste of money, built cheap as chips, but not to purchase, cause nothing but problems, remember you are cutting into your multi thousands of pounds motorcycle wiring loom!
Throwing in another very large concern when you have any kind of starting issue. I personally will not buy a bike with any form of aftermarket alarm fitted, is is a definite minus against the machine for me. There are so many posts with issues and questions on this site and others about alarm problems! I say avoid like the plague, but buying secondhand you may have to compromise. I remember the early eighties when people would let others drill holes in their new cars, cut into looms and all the rest to fit the biggest load of electronic shite to their cars, they were heard going off all over the place if a shadow was cast on the car!
Many people were of the mind set that they simply must have an alarm on their pride and joy! Don't start me on the fitting of aftermarket sun roofs. Thankfully not required on a bike! I know a guy with a mint pristine 1980 Ford RS2000.......................
