You can consider the HD alarm if you're buying an FL or FX model, but keep in
mind
that if you do get it, the auto-arming feature cannot be disabled on HDI bikes.
The alarm will set itself 30 seconds after you turn off the ignition
automatically.
It's a nice alarm system, with some nice features, and not very accessible from
outside the bike.
But bear in mind that it will only keep someone from -driving- the bike away,
won't keep
it from getting tossed into a van.
