Awesome idea, and I really want to love this system. But, RFID scares me. Anything in this digital age can be scanned and copied. Even the RFID chips in your credit and debit cards. That's why they make RFID blocking CC sheaths and wallets.

Nothing saying that someone couldn't potentially walk up near you with an RFID scanner and get a usable code and program their own fob. They could drive off with your bike and wouldn't even have to steal your key from you...

Ya, unfortunately if a thief wants something bad enough he's going to get it short of you standing over it with a gun.

But with the factory ignition, they can cut the wires and hot wire it, then just break the steering lock. Or get 2 people and throw the bike in the back of a van in a matter of seconds. I would rather have something more convenient and I love my DGD ignition. The only way anyone is stealing it is by putting it into a van or pushing it away... so if they are going to steal it, those bastards are going to have to work for it... lol.

That's very true. Which is why I have Realtime GPS tracking on mine. ;-)

I didn't see anything about installation. I'm curious what it involves. I can't fit anything else under my seat!

I was told a story of a friend of mine.
Back in the 70s he was in a two-story bar and a friend rode up on a 58 Harley and parked at the end of the parking lot. From the second floor of the bar they could see out the balcony right into the parking lot. After a couple drinks they heard some screeching tires and glanced out. A pickup truck flew into the parking lot, locked up their brakes, two guys jumped out of the truck, picked up the Harley and threw it into the back of their truck and were gone in less than 30 seconds. If someone wants something bad enough, they are going to figure out a way to take it.

Installation is pretty easy. You tie into the ignition wires right from the switch and then you cut one of the wires to the kill switch and wire it into the switch. It comes with very detailed instructions which makes it very easy to do. Everything is under my tank for it so access to the ignition wiring is impossible without taking the tank off (harder to hot wire the bike)

So, does everything sit on top of the motor? Is it visible much just looking at the bike?

Plastics under the tank will hide it all.

Dont be dependent on the gps trackers. they have gps blockers that will block any gps signal in a 200 ft radius for 40 to 50 bucks. And they do work perfectly. The company I work for put gps system in our company trucks and one of the guys ordered one of these to try and it works it blocks the vehicles gps, my garmin gps and the gps on my phone. I didn't believe they would work very well but I was wrong.

this isn't the one he has but its pretty close to it for example

Okay, this is just cool.
Added to the mod list.

Here's a video I made after installing it on my bike:


In the video, I talk about the delay after shutting the bike off and walking awa;. I had originally read that it was 2-4 minutes to fully arm, but mine arms within 30 seconds.

That is a great question that we haven't hit on yet... What about the fork lock??

Seems like a complete waste if you have to have a key to unlock your forks, eh?

I don't like the fact that it is the same amount of steps that I have to take anyways and I have to carry something (just like a key).

It needs to be programmed like a car with keyless ignition. All you have to do is be in the car and press the start button. No turning a key still, etc, etc. Just sit and go.

 

[BrettRTR]

agreed. for that much money it's just something to show your friends and say "Watch this."

 

[klarowe]

If you don't lock the forks then you won't have to unlock them. It is 1000x easier than using the key. I don't think I'll ever go back to the keyed ignition.

Don't wast your money on something like that. A old school trucker trick works best. Tin foil. GPS needs a view of the sky.

I do agree with you about being easier but we still need the key for fuel. At least with the keyed ignition we wont forget to bring it with us on those rides.:thumb:

For $400, I can put a key in the ignition...
