There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Gorilla Alarm is great!
Hi, Kevin:
I've been using the Gorilla alarm on my bikes since they first came out. Bikes: Honda C X 500, Honda GoldWing, Suzuki Burgman, Yamaha FJR 1300 AE, and my 2011 Spyder RT-S SE-5. I found that there are a lot of very easy mounting locations on the Spyder, but they do NOT allow the siren to be heard at its' loudest. One of the most difficult places to mount it is in the well behind the radiator and cooling fan. But, it is the best I have found. After trying to mount it in the frunk, and behind the seat (on the outside of the rear trunk), the well behind the radiator and cooling fan was the best location. It's nearly invisible in there, and the siren can be heard inside most nearby buildings. It's location, in there, doesn't seem to effect cooling, either. Good luck with it. You will like the Gorilla alarm.
Ride Safe,

I had a Scorpio i900 on both my RTs and this is where I mounted them. I alarms work great to deter people from messing or sitting on your bike. This is where I mounted mine.

Here's what happened to me. I rode my RT to the supermarket and went inside. I came out 15 mins later and observed a guy sitting on my bike. I walked up to him and said, Nice bike, is it yours? He replied, No. I said, What do you drive? He said, That truck over there. I asked him, Can I see your keys? He replied, Why? I said, Cause you are sitting on my bike, so I thought I would go sit in your truck. Now get the F&@% off my bike! He got off and walked over to his truck and left. This is why I got the alarm.
Kevin, anytime my friend.

Lol.. the poor guy asked for advice for a Gorilla alarm............ I installed my Gorilla on the left hand saddle bag where the XM Radio would go. It really works great for a simple install. I did not use the mercury switch, just the alarm and shock senser which I mounted in the void under my center glove box, left side as well.

Story most welcome. It supports the need for an alarm especially if one leaves the Spyder parked in a tourist area. They use to line up to take a picture to send back home of "their new Harley". They only leaned against the bike. I can see them climbing on a Spyder.:lecturef_smilie:

I also bought the perimeter sensor. That is the best. If closer than 3 feet for 5/10 seconds it goes off.

I've had two of them. They worked fine until I had my Spyder serviced at the dealer in Kennasaw, Ga. They were dead after that. I think they killed my trailer module too, but I can't prove it.
I'd like to send both alarms back to the Gorilla people so they tell me what went wrong with them?
