Motorcycle Security

HOT & NEW!! Motorcycle Immobilizer
While searching the world for the newest products in the motorcycling industry, I came across the coolest motorcycle security devise yet. It is a complete motorcycle immobilizer by Be Creative Inc.
They have designed two new micro alarm systems for motorcycles that completely shuts down the electrical current to the starter.
With 2 models to choose from, this is going to be one of the hottest new products for 2008.

The standard one button TX-97 model uses a single button key FOB to arm or disarm the bikes starter. Just get off the bike, push the button on the key FOB, and not even your own mechanic could start your bike. Retail price is $144.95

The TX-24 Bike Immobilizer is a movement activated with a "hands free" remote controlled relay that automatically recieves a signal from the key FOB as you approach the bike, allowing it to start.
No buttons to push. Just walk within 15 feet of the bike and the Key FOB sends a signal to the starter relay allowing the bike to start. It works the same when you park the bike. Just walk 15 feet or more away from the bike and the Key Fob in your pocket will automatically arm the bike( disable the starter). This model motorcycle alarm can be programmed to be used as a push button or automatic movement activated remote. Retail price $199.95

Which LED Accent Kit?

Question:

How do I know which LED Motorcycle Accent Kit will be best for my bike?
Thanks
Terry from Rochester, NY

Great question Terry. I get asked this same question all the time. With all the different LED Light vendors at rallies and all the options on the web, it can be very confusing to know which kit would be best for your bike.

If you follow these 3 simple rules it should help you narrow down your choices.

1) Look for a kit designed for your model or class of bike.
Avoid the "One Size Fits All" kits that don't get specific on which bikes they fit. When I say "Fits your Bike" I mean does it come with enough lights to light up your model? Does the kit come with a diagram showing you where to place the lights?

These are important questions that any light vendor or web site should answer for you. What is the sense in buying a kit that comes with more (or less) lights than you need to properly illuminate your bike. Plus, if the kit doesn't explain where the lights go on your model, you will just be wasting time trying to figure out what to do with the LEDs in your kit.

2) Avoid kits with just one style light.
Not every area of your motorcycle is the same so why put the same light all over it. The idea of "Accent Lighting" is to hide all the lights so that you get a GLOW or accent color of light. When you use a kit with all the same style light it becomes very difficult to mount ( and hide) all the lights to different contouring surfaces. Example - Not every gas tank is the same. Some have lots of room for mounting lights and some only have small surfaces for mounting LED's. You can't put the same strip of LED's on the under side of a Sportsters gas tank that you can put under an Electra Glides. You just don't have the room. So if your kit came with all 12" long strips you would have trouble fitting them on the Sportster.

A good LED Motorcycle Accent kit should be made up of different style lights for different areas of the bike. Flexible Strips, Pods and Spreader, Wheel Lights, Step & Courtesy lights...

3) Look for kits that need NO crimping or soldering.
Kits that require crimping or soldering just don't cut it in today's market place. It is just a cheap, easy way out, plus it goes back to rule#1. Does the kit show you where to put the light? If it does then the lights shouldn't need soldering because they would be designed for a specific location.

Don't get me wrong, trimming wires that are to long is normal, but you shouldn't have to solder or apply heat shrink over every light you mount.

These 3 rules should help you narrow down your choices 10 fold. Another tip for you would be to make sure your kit is "Add-On" capable. Kits using Lever Lock Terminal Connectors are best because they make it very easy to add more lights when you see fit. Everybody knows that accessorizing your bike never ends........

Music on a Motorcycle

We have all done it! Probably more than once. Probably in the last week or so.
You are ready for that long Saturday afternoon ride with your buddies. Bike is gassed up and ready to go. You hear the roar of their bikes as they pull into your driveway to pick you up.
You hop on your bike, head out and it HAPPENS! The last song you heard before you left the house starts to play over and over and over in your head. Yeah it would be cool if was your favorite song-but it never is. I remember the time when we left from Rochester to head up to Lake George (about 5 hr ride). The last thing I did when I left the house was to shut off the TV. Big mistake!! The show Gilligan's Island was just starting as I shut off the TV and yup, you guessed it. "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip...".
With the popularity of the iPod/MP3 we knew we wanted to add a Motorcycle Sound System to our product line. We researched the web all we could find were big cumbersome speakers that mounted to the handlebars and looked like a pair of drums. Then we found the Cycle Sounds/2Wheel Tunes systems. We purchased one over the web, installed it on my wife Denise's bike and knew immediately we had found a winner.
These sound systems come with a pair of 2" water resistant speakers mounted in motorcycle style bullet blinker housings. Talk about blending in with the look of the bike! They also come with a waterproof amplifier and wiring harness. These speakers are the only ones I know of that are being tested for not only water resistances, but also salt spray, UV and thermal testing.
Installation takes about 2 hours and can be done by any "Do it yourself-er". Speakers mount to the handlebars using clamps designed for your handlebar size. Amp mounts to the frame of the bike, iPod/MP3/Satellite Radio mounts to the universal mounting bracket (included with each system) and the wires all run under the tank and seat.
Plus, these systems are compatible with any music source using a 3.5mm earphone jack. That includes iPod's, MP3's, XM & Sirius Satellite Radios...
