Security System or Comprehensive Coverage?

Yeah, through the frame is the only way to go. Although unlikely, if someone really wanted your bike and had some time they could take the wheel off and there goes your bike. If you put it through the frame they have to cut the cable or cut the frame.
DO NOT put it where the subframe connects to the frame, however

Installed my alarm this weekend and it's a nice little piece. The perimeter alarm is almost junk if you park near other people (like shared carports or parking lots) You have to almost be right on top of the bike before it triggers or if you make it too sensitive, it triggers by anything within a 2 foot radius around the bike. You can however arm the alarm with or without the perimeter turned on so it's all preference.
Install was straight forward, I bought the 20 dollar kit to make my life easier and it just clips into the rear lights for your visuals. Hook up to the battery and plug her in.
The two way pager is surprisingly strong. My carport is behind my neighbors back yard. So the signal has to go through a solid wall, a wooden fence, then my slider/walls. I can get the signal from it all the way in my living room or my spare room with no problem.
Between insurance and this alarm, I'm fairly confident about leaving it out over night. I wish I could keep it in my backyard like the old one, but it's easier not to and now I'm not worried about waking up and my bike being gone.

Scenario...the alarm goes off in the middle of the night. Then what? You jump out of bed and maybe get there in time to see them drive off with the bike? Probably in a stolen van/truck. Even if you do get there before they get away, how will you stop them? This just sounds like it is going to create more problems than it will solve for you.

For me, it works out. I have plenty of time to get outside before they make off with the bike. Not to mention the alarm is incredibly stupid loud, so they'll be noticed. The perimeter sensor prevents them from getting the seats off to cut wires before it starts getting loud, they'd never have enough time.

It's a two way pager system alarm so the pager goes off the minute they trigger the perimeter sensor. The alarm itself goes off the minute they move the bike (shock and tilt sensors) Then I'm out the door and in my carport with a baseball bat in less than 20 seconds (out the back door, out my gate, make a right, and there's my carport)

Ha! When they put a bullet in your head or just beat you with your own bat for fun, you are gonna look really stupid!
Let me guess... you are 19-20 and grew up in a small town where criminals are the people who steal lipstick from WalMart or smoke pot at a concert?
The majority of the people out there jacking bikes for chop shops are tweaked out meth addicts doing whatever it takes to get the next fix and they don't give a **** what happens to them or you! It is a recipe for disaster and dangerous as hell to go after one with a bat. But it is your life man... best of luck to you!
