Hey guys, like the topic states.. I have a Viper 5900 2-way alarm still brand new in the box and I was wondering if I can install it on my CBR?

Obviously, I wont be hooking up any sensors or anything to doors and trunks.. Just wondering if I can hook this alarm up with the shock/proximity sensors and maybe a backup battery.

I've been lurking around different motorcycle forums but the traffic here is much more upbeat. Any input would be great! Thanks in advance.

I have done remote starts on the cbr 600rr and 1000 rr, and r1. Its no more diffcult then a regular install. You just have to hid everything very well.

if anyone can do it its gonna be Wrx killer. I have done alarm installs with this guy, and man does he come up with some sick things!!

so..you're saying, it CAN be done!? using a car alarm on a motorcycle? where would you recommend putting the siren? its not really slim..

use a pizo siren, ive done a fair amount and it isnt that hard.

yeah it can be done...no real issue there. A better solution might be look into the MERLIN
models from DEI. They are better engineered for the issues one may encounter on a bike.

MERLIN?..never heard of that branch of DEI but I will definitely research about them.

The reason why I'm thinking about using my viper 5900 is because: 1) I really need an alarm on my motorcycle (it was going to be my next mod...) and 2) I get a pretty good accommodation through DEI right now so I will be purchasing either the new viper 5901 or 5902 to replace the 5900 for my car

oh, and for anyone that has done this before...what do you do about the brain of the system?..how do you keep it weather/water proof?
