Gonna blow my own trumpet a bit here :icon_lol:
Had a private message from a member with a dead Girly. He'd removed the alarm and shorted together the pins advised by a friend. Still dead. I advised him to connect the correct pins and have just had a message to say she lives! The two events may not be connected, but I'm taking it anyway! :icon_mrgreen:
Nice One..
I had to remove the alarm I fitted from my Steamer at a Rally after it failed when I arrived and wouldn't disarm.
I'd hard wired it, and it was fun to remove, but it got me back on the road. Even as a London Boy, I don't really bother with alarms now, as they seem to be more trouble than they are worth, unless it really affects your insurance.
They're pretty useless, as passers-by simply continue to pass by.
I have an alarm fitted, but only use it if I could hear it myself if it did go off.
Well done Bixxer, Ive still got a photo of the bypass plug I made myself when my last Datatool failed. ( Cut the plug off alarm and converted it)
Well done both :thumbsup
I agree with the general sentiment, "Immobilising" / integrated alarms are of very limited benefit other than against insurance costs. Personally I'd rather have independent units.
I took the time to correctly bypass a Triumph factory unit a few years ago and in the course of modifying the loom, stripped out all the redundant, associated cables and connectors. I was a little shocked at how much was involved. Apart from the clutter / bulk reduction, there was a measurable weight saving and I'm talking a big mac's worth ;)

I have a vague mental picture of standing on my mum's drive talking to you about it on the phone at the time :icon_lol: How many years ago was that? She's been dead a few years so it has to be a good while. Or maybe it was someone else ;)

Yep, does ring a bell (Pun) phoning you up about it, would have been 2009/10 or therabouts?
Sound's about right :icon_lol:
