Advice from a fellow rider got me thinking about installing my new HAWK alarm on my own.

I figured it would be a straight forward thing, but has said be better to get someone who understand electricals and currents etc...

Anyone installed one of these??

I have a Hawk X-50 in the box, will go on the new bike (can't wait for it but the dealer is not telling me when the bike arrives )

On the existing bike I have a cheap alarm that connects to the battery only and it works just fine. It has many wires, but I decided I don't need them all connected, so battery only.

Regarding the Hawk alarm, it also has many wires, but I plan to connect it to the battery, indicators, the tilt sensor and ignition. So not that many wires in total. I'm pretty good with electrics and I wouldn't pay someone else to do it for me. But I would not hesitate to pay someone if I wouldn't be confident I can do it properly.

If you plan to wire up the remote [strikeout]stealing[/strikeout] starting "feature" - I'd say let a pro do it. With this "feature" connected, stealing a bike becomes easier if not wired correctly. Personally I don't like remote starting and don't plan to do it. Plus Hondas have HISS system and won't start without the key anyway.
